Frank -  Are the paper towels to serve as a filter?  Would cheesecloth do as
well?  Had you experimented with painting the inside of the supers black to
absorb the sun?  Do you tilt the contraption?
 
I had a solar melter but it finally rotted and I am too thrify to buy another
one when
your idea sounds so good.
