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:
@Doug show us your set up. This looks good
@ sir Richard show us your set up please. Be nice to see an actual one in use
Do you have to use the smaller cans? I’ve ber n saving the Big ones to make this.tag me please if you know. Ty
I would just buy a whole lot more of the aluminum tubing and use it painted black. Lots more surface area with the folds.
My daughter did this exact thing for her 8th grade science fair project! It worked!!
Good luck. Let us know how good it works
Aluminum Downspouts from a building center would make things a little easier.
I need this today!
Kelly Loomis we should try this in the green house!
Mike Chenault use it to hear the garage
