Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 March 1894 — A Sun Stove. [ARTICLE]

A Sun Stove.

A simple stove for warming by means of solar heat has been contrived by Professor Morse. It consists of a shallow box, having a bottom of corrugated iron and a glass top. When this device is placed outside a building where the sun can shine directly into it, the rays pass through the glass and are absorbed by the metal, rising to a high temperature and warming the air of the box. The air thus heated is conveyed into the room.
