hqcreations:Using My Car as a Solar DehydratorWe don’t have garage so our little hatch-back bakes under the unrelenting sun in high Summer. I always wondered if that solar heat can be harnessed to do some productive work. Dehydration was the thought that came to mind. I washed a mix of my herbs and laid them out on cookie sheets. At the right time of day, the trunk reaches well over 100F without direct contact from the suns rays. In about 4 hours, all the herbs become a crisp and aromatic pile of herbal delights.What I learned - it works! However, using my car as a dehydrator was effective well, but for a few days the smell of the herbs as absorbed into the car. You’d think this would be awesome, but the problem is the aroma left in the car and quickly turn stale. In some ways…I wonder if the heat was a little too strong. Wish I cracked the window more and maybe add a mini fan and maybe will try a cooler time of day instead of high noon. -- source link
