Earthship: Systems and Components vol. 2 by Michael Reynolds
Requirements: .PDF reader, 279 MB
Overview: The second book in the Earthship Volume Trilogy written by Michael Reynolds. In Earthship Volume 2: Systems & Components, he examines the specific components of Earthships: photovoltaics, water supply and wastewater, water heating, lighting, adobe fireplaces, stairways, operable sky vents, etc. Reynolds dives into the details about off-the-grid solar electric systems, out-lining the basics of how they work, and how to reduce your electric needs enough to make them affordable.
In a chapter on water systems, he deals with the water supply and waste water, including wells and rainwater catchment systems, greywater systems and composting toilets, plus conventional and alternative septic systems. His use of planters adjacent to kitchen and bathroom sinks for immediate use of wastewater is especially ingenious for its elegant simplicity.
Although earthships can be designed and built to not require supplementary heating, there is nevertheless, a great appeal to a fireplace, and Reynolds takes the readers step-by-step through the process of building a charming adobe fireplace.
