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:
The electricity used for the fan would make the same amount of heat.this system is only good if you are using a solar panel for juice
Solar panel hooked up to computer fan works great. Have several of these on my house.

Sherry Barbour Bell needs a psychiatrist.
Does anyone have a calculation on how many cubic feet of air at what temperature is generated?
Wow

wonder if this gives out enough heat to go through the trouble of making it.
this looks like a good idea
