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:
What runs the fan?
Clear as mud.
Eddie. Comments?
Even on a snowy day..sit in your car a bit in sun feel how hot!! It is esp.. Black!! And these are good alternative s for emergancy outages…no elect gas kerosene.. Safe and hot!
Consider using steel – aluminum isn’t so healthy for the body. Studies are starting to show that it reacts with fluoride to be extra unhealthy.

The closed-captioning comments are pretty funny, whatever voice interpreter was used.
Anyone tried this in a sunny window in an apartment? It’s cold in here, poor windows, but double digits below zero outside. We could use a booster!
