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 temp may be 140, but I guarantee the quan$#%&!@*y of air at that temp is practically negligible. This is in no way practical to heat a room, unless it were perectly sealed, and had an infinite amount of time to do it.

Pretty clever!
Very cool..
Use black plastic drain tile works just the same

Thats great you get 140 degree air when its t-shirt weather out side, but when its 20 degrees out and even if the sun is shining I venture to say your not getting room temperature heat out of it
