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:
See Crystal, this is what I wanted to experiment with, just to see how well it works.
My redneck one was at 160 degrees. Paint it black.
I built a solar window heater I’ve used for years. Outlet temp reaches 110+ in direct sunlight.
WOW!
