[Greenbuilding] Copper Crickst?

[David Delaney]

The Copper Cricket is indeed history. It's inventor was Eldon Haines. See http://www.geocities.com/~dmdelaney/geyser/Solar-geyser-pump.html.

Sorensen's bubble pump is another solar powered pump for solar water heaters, see http://geocities.com/davidmdelaney/geyser/Sorensens-bubble-pump.html.  Sorensen's company is still going, in Kingston, Ontario. See http://www.bubbleactionpumps.com/

This heater worked like a precolating coffee pot with no moving parts. The panels on the roof percolated a fluid to the water heater in the house with no moving parts or electronics. They went out of business because of lack of demand. Does anyone have any leads on where to find the people who invented or sold the copper cricket? The Internet didn't produce any results.
