The warm summer months never last forever. Soon it’s time to look for a way to bring a little extra warmth into the home and this simple solar heater is a great project to do just that. It’s made of metal cans, steel or aluminum, and can produce a surprisingly strong and consistent airflow upwards of 140F.
Even on a heavy snow day you’re looking at somewhere around 75-85F.
Best of all, this simple project requires just a few common parts and many of them can simply be re-purposed from your regular recycling. Watch the project come together in the fully-detailed video on the NEXT PAGE:

Vickie Luvz J-real Mathaw we should build this for that back room. Show rel.
It is simple. Too bad it only works during the day in direct Sunlight. A panel like this is useless where I live. During the day in South Mississippi the temperatures are tolerable. The nights can be miserable, but the solar heat doesn’t work at night.
Jill Bowman White I been wanting to make one for two years.
