Surrogate Sun[edit]

Hoax. Inventive theory but lacks any sources & Google turns up no valid references. Srik e it^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 03:23, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - original research. Worth publishing in a journal, not here. - Richardcavell 05:37, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete' No original research. If this is a theory that has been discussed outside of Wikipedia then there should be a reference or citation of an academic paper to back it up. (aeropagitica) (talk) 06:57, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Black liquid solar collector demonstrator

Alberta T6G 2J1 Canada
A solar collector, suitable for an undergraduate laboratory
project or lecture demonstration has been built and the details
of the construction and the way in which it can be used by students
in elementary or advanced courses is described. A simple and
efficient system results from using a black liquid to absorb the
energy and from using the thermosyphon effect to drive the liquid
through the collector.
A floodlamp is used as a surrogate sun.
The collector is of considerable current interest
in the field of solar energy.

DELETE/KEEP (Probably it is a photography term.) - not a scientific term, but "way of using language". It looks "original research", not hoax to me. hoax=information which is not based on truth. alex 10:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
