Double Play Container — Follow-up Photos and Zomeworks Schematic

Source: Steve Baer / Zomeworks archive

Three images ingested from kb/inbox/ (originally doubleplay-exterior.jpeg, doubleplay-interior.jpeg, doubleplay-schematic.jpeg). The two photographs show the same physical installation already documented in Double Play Installation — Photos — same tan/black-panel container exterior, same “ARTlines” poster visible through the interior doorway — photographed again later, with EXIF metadata (iPhone SE 3rd gen, 2026-03-25) confirming a date the original two-photo entry could only guess at (“circa 2025, source unknown”). The third image is a hand-drawn schematic (EXIF: iPhone 17e, 2026-07-10) that was not previously in the archive.


Exterior — Container in Desert Setting

Exterior of a tan-painted shipping-container building with vertical black thermal-absorber panels between two windows, aluminum roof trim, in a high-desert lot with sagebrush and stucco tile-roof houses visible in the background

A later, wider-angle exterior shot of the same container-derived building as double-play-installation-photos.md’s exterior photo. Tan/cream-painted corrugated metal siding alternates with black textured vertical absorber panels between two window openings. The white-trimmed aluminum roofline and shipping-container door hardware (visible on the right end) are consistent with the earlier photo. The setting is high-desert scrub with other houses (tile roofs, stucco) visible in the background — consistent with an Albuquerque-area location, though the exact site is not confirmed by this image alone.

Interior — Radiant Ceiling Piping

Interior view looking up at a Double Play ceiling: dark corrugated metal panels between structural beams, with white PEX-style tubing and brass push-fit fittings running along the ceiling to multiple manifold connections, a CFL pendant lamp, and an "ARTlines" poster visible through a doorway below

A closer, more detailed view of the same hydronic ceiling system shown in the original interior photo. White push-fit (Uponor-style) tubing runs along structural steel beams to several brass manifold fittings distributed across the ceiling, feeding the radiant panels. Construction is visibly in-progress (exposed drywall seams, unfinished trim). The same “ARTlines” poster from the original interior photo is visible through the doorway below, confirming this is the same room/building documented previously.

Schematic — “Double-Play Container Zomeworks”

Hand-drawn schematic titled "DOUBLE-PLAY CONTAINER ZOMEWORKS" showing an insulated shipping container with a roof-mounted night-cooling radiator (supply in blue, return in red) connected via a two-pipe loop through an "Energie Solaire Collector" to a thermal-storage-water reservoir inside the insulated container

A hand-drawn engineering sketch labeled “DOUBLE-PLAY CONTAINER ZOMEWORKS,” diagramming the same thermosiphon loop described in Steve Baer and the double-play thermosiphon and Zomeworks container prototype: a roof-mounted “Night Cooling Radiator” with labeled Supply/Return lines, connected through an “Energie Solaire Collector” (French-labeled — possibly Baer’s own hand, consistent with his documented affinity for French captions elsewhere in the archive) to a “Thermal Storage-Water” reservoir inside an “Insulated Container.” Color-coded piping (blue/red) traces the supply and return paths through the full loop: collector → storage → night radiator → storage → collector.

This is the clearest single-page diagram in the archive of how the collector, storage, and night-radiator stages of the Double Play system connect as one closed loop — worth citing directly wherever the thermosiphon mechanism is explained.
