IMPROVED SOLAR HEATING OF WATER UTILIZING COVERITES ABSTRACT A method and a system of solar heating of water, which has its surface exposed to air and radiation from the sun, by cover- ing the surface of the body of water with a floating blanket con- sisting of hundreds of coverites. Each coverite comprises a wall of thin translucent film of plastic, which encases a translucent fluid, so that each coverite presses against its neighboring coverites, whereby its thin flexible wall conforms to the shape of the contacting part of the neighboring coverites' thin flexi- ble walls, whereby the resulting blanket of coverites admits the solar radiation to reach the water, and reduces heat absorb- ing evaporation of the water to the air, and thermally insulates the water from the air. The fluid may conveniently be a combin- ation of water and air and the plastic may suitably be polyethy- lene.
