The solar coffee drier

The project is moving along and Rufino is a very hard worker.  Things take a little longer than normal because he is new to ICC and we have never been to Guatemala.  We look at things through "our eyes" and then find out why that will not work. I had a similar experience in Xian, China with my students.  It just takes a little longer for the communication process to work.  Like I said Rufino is a hard worker and he will help push us a long.  That is good.  We do have several models to start working on and the next few weeks should tell just how strong we are going to finish.  I think what ever we do we will have to refine it but the coffee season that we will work with is next year and we have time to make the changes we might need to make. Now we need to see just how many solar panels we are going need to get to build a successful dryer.
