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:

Horrible video. You don’t bother to explain what materials you are using. What kind of insulation? What kind of backing did you use? What kind of plexiglass? You spend a couple minutes showing us how to assemble a wooden frame which we all know how to do!
Wonder if there would be an improvement by painting the cans a flat black.
