Some videos have surfaced of tests of a new greenhouse in Norway demonstrating one of Richard Nelson's Solaroof systems. Those familiar with the Solaroof project may know that there are two systems to the Solaroof concept; a transparent roof farm system where a Nutrient Film Technique hydroponics system is integrated into a corrugated membrane roof canopy--intended to be the basis of homes or to cover large areas like parking lots and commercial/industrial buildings--and a dynamic liquid foam insulation system where soap foam is used as a basis of thermal regulation. In these videos we see the tests of this foam system in a double-walled but otherwise conventional greenhouse that has been built with reclaimed from a waste processing center in Norway. The greenhouse was built by a group calling themselves LifeSynthesis.
The basic principle of the dynamic liquid foam insulation system is that soap foam is injected by foam generators in the air gap of the greenhouse to provide shade and insulation while water is used to collect solar heat for storage in tanks at the base of the greenhouse to provide radiant heating to maintain interior temperatures. Dividing these between north and south facing sides you can optimize seasonal energy characteristics. (http://www.solaroof.com/)

Just a note when posting a URL... be sure to have at lease 1 space before,
and 1 space after any URL or it will take the entire text as the address
and it will fail. I tested these and they work now.
