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:

Key word, solar. Winter darkness is a problem.
I need this. Sometimes in January it gets down into the 60’s here.
That also could be half of a great solar food dehydrator. Build a cabinet with several wire mesh trays that slide in, with a slot for this can unit to fit into, at a diagonal manner and it will dry fruits, veggies, and meat for jerky quite nicely! Keep your meat shelves separate from your fruits and veggie trays. But I don’t have to tell you that right? Look on Youtube for the how to build vid.
re ? explain how the fan is wired?
How many times are you going to post this stupid thing? Here, that thing would freeze solid.
