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:
Back in the 70 s I worked for a guy who designed and built solar heaters on a much larger scale and stored heat in rocks for use at night worked well. Some company bought us out and shut the place down.
You should start up again Danny wienann
Seems like the labor saved dy using ducting would be better!
I am going to try this in deer stand
worthless
has anyone tried this?
I made a pool heater with black plastic pipe. this guy is really basic in design and could be made more accurately and more efficient.
