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:

“It must be the outside air holes sucking the air into the cans then out by the fan”

What do you think Bill Williams?
Painting them flat black would make it more effective higher temp out put.

Maybe I should buy one.
Only works on a warm sunny day….
How does something that’s powered by the sun work in a snow storm, where there is very little direct light.
