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:
Why would you build this
awesome. everything is solar powered really, it is up to us how far down the food chain we wish to collect it
I was going to build one for my garage.

Do you see the desert vegetation in the background? He never said what temp rise he got, that’s not putting our 140 deg air in Syracuse New York!
How does the fan work to u plug it in or what?
I like it.. Robert Buchanan
no sun your done,….
On a heavy snow day you’d be looking at 32 degrees not 75-85. Why? Snow blocks light so where’s the solar collector gonna get it’s rays from?
