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. We could use this. Below 0 and maybe -30 here in Montana.
Very interesting.
I remember making these things in the late 1970’s…………….they really do work! As long as it isn’t freezing in the winter……………..
Richard Watt, alternative heat source maybe? We do use a lot of cans.
What about off gassing of the aluminum?
