2025 modern recap bundle

confidence: high volatility: cold verified: 2026-08-01fresh

Anchored by Kayatekin's 2025 ICON retrospective on Baer's double-play thermosiphon, this bundle also carries the full-text 2000-2004 Cool Cell, Di-thermal, pool-heater, and shareholder documents the retrospective looks back on.

This bundle is anchored by the one genuinely modern source in the archive — Cem S. Kayatekin’s 2025 ICON journal article tracing Baer’s double-play thermosiphon from the stock pond melter through Cool Cell, Andy Shack, the Davis House 2 studio, and the unbuilt Double Play 2.0. Around it sit the full-text 2000-2004 primary documents the retrospective looks back on (several are complete-document copies of page-scan families in the 2002 bundle). It is the archive looking back at itself.

Why it matters

2025 retrospective + the primary documents it cites = archive continuity

The bundle is a raw-source summary, not a conclusion page. It preserves provenance for the file family and points to the compiled concept pages that already distill the ideas.
