solar roof

5.2: gear/solar/wind stored as wind:
. good use of wind uses windmills to compress air,
so then during low wind the compressed air can drive electric generators,
and during wind that is too high for e-gen's,
the power can be usefully diverted to compressing air .
. the current system is to heat water,
even if that's not needed .
. it could also solve the complaint that
wind supply is not always matching human consumption .
. another way is to put energy mostly into
driving processes that generate portable fuel
like methanol .
. it was noticed days ago however
that this is not a green way for the planet;
because there is literally not eno' platinum in the world
to make all the fuel cells
to meet all the needs of billions of people .

11.1: gear/hvac/solar/roof:
. it works like water heater but moves air instead of water:
under black tin it gets hot;
it can be 2-way valved either outside or inside the walls
and under the floor where it can also serve as
part of the radon removal system .
. fan powered by cheap mech-to-mech wind mills
(new efficient ones look like box kites) .
. on top of black 2nd roof
is clear roof for housing greens,
makes oxygen that can move without venting,
but may need that anyway
for humidity control to prevent mold .
