NICK PINE
USENET Solar Archive
Since 1995 the Thermal
Calculation Guru of Gurus regarding Solar and and ANYTHING
energy has been posting and answering questions on various
USENET subjects. Nick's generosity of time and talent
explaining true science is evident in every message. The
way he explains a complex calculation is truly world
class. What you would never think you could understand
is understood in just a few lines from Nick. The
most difficult calculation is explained as easy as if you were
reading the back of a box of cereal. I have 'lost' and
invested so many hours over the years and gotten volumes of
knowledge and delight from doing experiments regarding Nicks
USENET postings. As an experiment I have spent a
great deal of time writing software that starts to organize this
wealth of knowledge. I've personally selected subjects and
keywords and organized the message by those topics.
Hopefully this is just the beginning and look for this to be
better organized and more great, world class information to
appear on http://SOLAR.KnowledgePublications.com |
