- February 2015: New Solar cooling sub-section in Non-cooking uses: Solar cooling in this case usually relates to using the sun to create the necessary heat for evaporation. The resulting phase change of water from a liquid to a vapor absorbs the heat from the remaining water, and the surrounding materials will become cooler relative to the air temperature. With an ample water supply, this technique can be useful for keeping foods refrigerated without electricity. See: Pot-in-pot cooler

- February 2015:Updraft solar dryer designs are the most frequently seen in cabinet form. With this design, the hot air flows upward through a solar heat collection trough and enters the bottom of a cabinet underneath the food. The dry air rises through the trays and around the food, exiting through a vent at the top or near the top of the shadowed side. (See the Bibliography -- Valdez) The theoretical basis for this design is that hot air rises and therefore when heated, the air flows naturally upward through the trays of food. See: plans for the Mother Earth News dryer.
