Here's the Ultimate Free Cheat Code for Sunpower - Join the secret club of hackers who are smarter than their teachers and stop paying for stuff the sky gives away for free. All you need is a bucket and some string to make a giant power plant in your backyard.

Susay says...When I was in the eighth grade my science fair project was about using the energy of the sun. My partner and I demonstrated 3 ways to use sunshine for everyday activities. For me it was a lot of fun because it got us out of the school building and outside.

We used a galvanized tub to fill with water early in the morning, this showed how by the middle of the day the water had become very hot. We placed a glass gallon jar filled with water and tea bags in the sun to show how tea could be brewed in the sunshine then placed in a near by creek to cool for cool tea at supper in the evening.

Last we showed how a clothes line could be used to dry clothes with. I must admit that in 1977 few people were impressed with the results of our finding because the truth is they were common knowledge things that everyone did on a daily basis especially a few years prior to this.

I recall my teacher commenting that when he was a kid that's the way they always heated the bath water and he had hoped for a little more progressive thinking.

Barry's Response - Sometimes the knowledge mankind has right under its own nose is the most valuable. And we don't even know it. Your description shows us clearly how that can happen. Thanks for your input, Susan.

Sunpower Remix and How to Use It Everyday

Hot water hack with galvanized steel - She used a metal tub. From a physics perspective, she used Stefan-Boltzmann's Law. Radiation is absorbed by the metal and transferred to the water molecules.

What's the point of paying a power company to heat your shower? If you live in an area with high solar irradiance, you're ignoring free money. We should love this because it's Energy Independence. Or at least because it's Zero Carbon.

Atmospheric laundry dryer - You're not just drying clothes when you hang them outside. This is convective evaporation.

Electric dryers trap VOCs Volatile Organic Compounds from detergents inside the fabric. But the sun? Its UV radiation acts as a natural disinfectant. It kills germs and oxidizes odors.

Plus, the wind takes away the moisture. It's like a symphony where the wind plays woodwinds and the sun plays brass.

Sun tea that's Creek-Cooled - Here's where biology meets thermodynamics. To cool it down, you use the heat sink of a moving creek.

You probably know humans should take care of the Earth. Living in harmony with the world's design means using the natural cycle of the day-heating with the sun and cooling with the water. It's free, it's smart, and it tastes better than plastic.

Think for yourself!

Mainstream talk says we need billion-dollar solar farms to save the planet. I dunno. Maybe decentralization is the real revolution. It means you don't need a giant wire to have a hot bath or a cold drink.

Skeptics worry about the aquatic environment when we talk about energy. Yeah, they're right! Fish habitats can get messed up by big projects.

What about Susan's creek cooling? That's pretty low-impact. While using its power, it respects the water. Saving the Earth doesn't always require a new government program. You just need a glass jar and a clothesline sometimes.

Final thoughts

The future doesn't belong to the people who build the biggest machines; it belongs to the youth who understand the math of the sky. Sunpower isn't just an experiment. It's freedom of thought. Don't let expensive systems capture us.

You don't get a bill from The Sun, whether you're a math whiz, a music lover, or just someone who likes a good joke. Every morning, it shows up ready to go. Why don't you hire it?
