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:

No, it wouldn’t work in -20f, but what human-inhabited place gets that cold?

This is getting to be a common item for DIY. This guy shows that you don’t have to have a lot of skill or tools to accomplish what others have done with a lot more expense.

Can some one please explain how the fan is wired? I really want to make this.
It’s wired with a 9 volt battery
Wisconsin gets that cold. But the point is to pull the air out of your house, push it through this, and blow it back in your home 60* hotter for free
