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:

I’ve seen similar work- use rocks instead of cans- paint them black- they hold the heat longer! Guy used 3 of them and put thermostats on to control fan- worked great!

This is a great idea for a place like my garden shed or a chicken coop. You could make it larger. And a small solar panel to run the fan
How would you install it into your home? And where?
This is cool
