The SolarBee is designed to circulate water
by bringing water from below and sending it
out across the top in a thin layer causing a
mixing effect. The laminar layer flows outward
radially, in diverging “stream lines” from the
distribution dish. As it does, vertical flow is
induced in between the water being drawn
below and the water above. At the level of the
flow intake, water is drawn from all corners of
the tank. As this lower layer of fluid makes its
way inward with converging streamlines to the
SolarBee, the water is forced upward, toward
the surface, providing gentle mixing and
de-stratification.
The SolarBee obtains all the energy it needs
from the sun. Its solar panels provide power
to the onboard battery which energizes the
drive system’s controls and motor. Excess
solar energy is stored during the day and
used during the night allowing the SolarBee
to operate during the night without being
connected to the grid.
During operation, a visible flow can be
observed coming off the distributor dish
and spreading outward. The impeller of the
SolarBee is designed to operate at full speed
when there is sufficient sunlight and battery
charge. The rpms may drop down some
during the later night and early morning when
the battery uses up its charge after a longer
period of overcast days. In severe sunlight
limited conditions, the machine may slow
down or stop temporarily to protect the battery
from damage.
