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:
nice
so where do you sit this if it is snowing and blowing outside? to still get heat from it?…in the window?
thanks for the share : )
Use mirror on back side for reflection use a computer fan to move air. South side winter sun
may not work in tundra…er Minnesota in the winter….lol
Tim Flynn??
Jessica Pears I have watched this video before… seems legit
Here is a much easier to build option using screen instead of cans: http://www.builditsolar.com/Experimental/AirColTesting/ScreenCollector/Building.htm
Interesting since solar panels don’t work at all on a heavy snow day. Yes, after the snow a bit, but not during. So they say…
