Just callin' 'em as I read 'em....





Well, OK, it's been a rough week, and the beer is starting to set in.....

edit: Marc's the man....his contributions to the communite have beeen amazing and this is just another example. I'm just trying to add humor to some seriously cool tech.

Looks awesome Marc! Could you use regulated compressed air instead of a pump?

yeah i saw both of those links when i was researching my heat exchanger.
but i didnt love how they did the inner tubing part of their exchanger. i use a continuous double wrapped coil so i am able to get i have a single 18 foot length of length of copper in my exchanger, more surface area means more heat transfer

Can you regulate the water temp or does it just come out the same temp as the coolant?

 

[marc olivares]

you could, but i don't
mine recirculates through a jerry can, so when the temp in the can is where i want i divert it through the shower head

Very nice system.

I use a large wheeled pelican case with a 29 gallon bladder in the case
with a shurflow marine washdown pump mounted to the side , mounted to my rack ,
in winter it all comes off as a unit.
The sun heats it nice and hot and i have pvc tubing connected to my rack with a
swing out shower head.also a hose conection for washing down equipment.
It looks slightly ghetto but it works real realy well.

I would love to pipe it through a heater.
How much to make me one.????????????

Looks interesting, but I still like my $100 Zodi. It's portable and can even use water directly from a stream if you need to.
For the price and effort I haven't seen anything that rivals it yet.

 

[marc olivares]

zodi's also take up more cargo space...

 

[antichrist]

True, there are always trade-offs. LOL

that last pic looks like an Irish Spring commercial.

 

[Rusty Shackelford]

let me tell you that shower was hot! but i think the key was the peppermint soap.

I used that soap once with my ZODI system, and the aroma attracted every bee in Colorado to our campsite! You've been warned.


By the way, sweet set up, clean install, can't wait to see the diagrams!

 

[christheroverguy]

Mark,

How did you coil your tubes? just wrap them around a broomstick or something? I like your set up. Less seams = less places to fail.

It'd be sweet if I could get mine rolling for our trip Danny boy Sadly, I don't think it will happen.

 

[Roverdoc]

[nosivad_bor]

yeah marc shower sure beats this set up http://www.discoweb.org/mojaveroad/(25)shower ingenuity.jpg

His setup is very slick and was thinking about it last night as I was using my solar shower identical to the one Rob posted, which I setup on my porch.

We just got power back on here and were without it for about 36-42 hours. No water (we're on a well with no pressure tank) and no lights, etc, etc. 250K+ people without power.

Our only light was via old gas lamps and a headlamp for cooking kale, onions and rice. The ARB fridge was keeping some assemblance of order by providing me with cold milk in the morning for my cereal flakes and ice cold beer in the evenings.

Maybe Marc needs to go into some kind of customizing business. Similar to that show "Whips" that use to be on. But a kinder more gentle show with hippies and yerts.
