If you are going to post this on the web, please notify me. Of course, before you die. I'm very interested to see the role of decomposition. And that's a really neat idea, but then again I'm morbid myself.

Hilda Said:

what is the best way to generate electricity from a parabolic mirror?

We Answered:

The more you change forms of energy the more energy loss you can expect. The stirling engine is more efficient than a typical steam engine but the steam engine may be easier to build from an old two stroke engine. Solar panels will tend to the the least efficient, 8 to 22%. Those companies that use concentrated sunlight to power a photovoltaic cell use the highest possible cells that cost a great deal more than what is commonly available.

Go with the stirling for efficiency or the steam engine for ease of operation.

Were can I buy a Transfer switch for a generator?

We Answered:

both at the same time would be difficult, you would have to synchronize the two AC sources for frequency, phase and voltage. Could be done, but you need special equipment.

Transfer switches you can buy online or at electrical supply houses.

Noma Solar Powered Deck Lights?

We Answered:

It does sound like they are defective. It sounds like the circuit to turn the lights on is not working. Check the photo-cell on those lights to see if it is clean. Its best for you to just return those and get new ones. Below is a link that may help you.
