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:
I have seen other peope say to use sections of aluminum gutter in place of the cans….less work.
@[100008750146129:2048:Austin Corle] make this for me
I have been reading all week about them I like the one with the downspouts with the cans in them
@[100000648909947:2048:Scott Carter]. Can u build this??
Everyone should start building these things now because his Obaminis has just $#%&!@*ured all your electric bills this coming winter will be through the roof with this last load of horse hockey he has pulled. But sheep will be sheep.

Provided you can see the sun, not for northern la$#%&!@*udes.

Ask yourself would you put your head in a bag full of spray paint? no, then why would you paint cans black and heat them off so they off gas. Next the issue of using wood. as you dry it out it lowers the flash point. can you say fire hazard. a sheet metal frame that has been powder coated or an aluminum frame would be better. aluminum would be best.
BTW these don’t work at night.
