He's quite a character, but I like that he has designed it to be a self-sufficient system.
 
Interesting Gentleman, however I found the solar wood drier to be quite over-engineered. A simple solar wood kiln involves just one glass wall oriented towards the sun, usualy with vents in the top of the back wall, and will easily reach 140 degrees f. Loved his gas scrubber though.
