Hello everybody,

Just to let you know that Eerik is now flying to India and will be at Tinytech tomorrow.

He should meet Urs there on Monday and then Will.

We hope the 90m2 solar concentrator will be a success to pump things and go on with positive vibes.

If there is no connection problem, Eerik should blog these 2 weeks on Solar Fire website.

Bye, Eva

Great news, look forward to the future of this technology, this network and the great team at solar fire.

Great potential for world class applications. Never give up!

Hey all,

I made it to Rajkot and have some email access ... URS just called 20 minutes ago saying he's in Rajkot ... but he phoned from someone elses phone and I don't have his number. He's probably lost because he should have made it by now (sometime the rickshaw drivers don't no where this place is).

If anyone has his numberand reads this in the next few minutes please email it to me. Thanks

Best

Hey all,

Urs and Terresa managed to make it to the factory by taxi (in fact we didn't understand that they weren't coming right away and we couldn't contact them so we had to leave for the factory). It turns out that Urs doesn't have a sim card for anywhere yet, so it makes sense no one had his number.

For the work here, at the factory the 90m^2 model is already very good, and has everything ready except placing the mirrors, so we started that. If all goes well the mirrors will be placed and oriented in 4-5 days time then there is a week to do experiments and filming.

So success here will create a really good energy that we can build on, so it's exciting times. Not to mention that if Urs's project succeeds that will create even more energy!

A lot (of short term plans) depended on succeeding here so I didn't write them in case the structure couldn't be complete (which I had not seen a photo of or anything before yesterday). But completion, which seems likely, a lot of things can accelerate. Over the next week I'll try to write up some new documents reflecting this and the choices to make.

Hope all are well

Best
Eerik
