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:

Wow this is awesome
What if there’s a mountain in the way during winter?

this also works if you sink it into the middle of a compost heap or pile of horse manure

Interesting
What kind of ambient are temp would lower the output from 70# on a heavy snow day? Would I need a better hose to prevent heat loss between living area and box?
couldn’t you also add a solar panel to power that fan?
