This video details how to make a super-efficient water heater thermo siphoning process. Not only are all the parts he uses cheap or free discards, the project does not need electricity or solar power.
To match this video you will need:
Copper Tubing
Stove Pipe
Water heater
Valves
And of course, water and something to burn.
See the process video after the break and then get started on your own source of endless hot water:
Wow, John Gill, I wonder if the patent office is open this late.
old old news…my dad used this low tech idea in the 70’s to heat our water and house
What’s easier is you redirect your cold water going into your water heater to the outside and then up to the roof. Use black flexible tubing and make a spiral then feed back into house and feed into the water heater. Now all your water is preheated prior to entering your house. Might need pressure release due to pressure built up in extremely hot locations. Your water heater now only has to work half as hard to heat the water or none at all.
From the Tesla Forum: Wind Wheel Under Grille – Extended Range Innovation – Inovator93 | 17 Novembre 2011
So I was looking online at electric cars and their range and then I started to think about the wind resistance cars get on the road and how that could translate to creating electricity. I got to thinking on the model S they could place a long narrow water wheel shaped wind turbine across the bottom front end bumper so that as air passes through from wind resistance it charges the battery as it moves along to create a self sustaining system by adding to the current range of the car. The Germans have started testing using wind charging as a stop and go technique in Australia but I got to thinking that it would make more sense if Tesla made an aerodynamic wind wheel located under the front grille. There are light weight materials you could make it out of so it would not slow the car and cause drag such as carbon fiber or aluminium e.c.t.
Just thought I would provide this idea to Tesla I am in college now and am getting to be a bit creative when looking at ways to improve things. Hope someone has a look at this idea and feel free to ask any questions !
Here’s a story problem for all you shade tree physicists out there: Let’s say you have a sealed moving van. Inside are 1,000 humming birds each weighing 3 grams. They are resting on perches. You move the van to an accurate scale and weigh it. Now — and this is the hard part — you get the birds to come off of their perches and hover in mid air. Now, how much less does the van weigh?
News flash: Fire Hot!
How is this endless hot water? 40 gal tank that takes 30 minutes to heat and fill as you say . Solar and propane/natural gas on a tankless water heater would be endless hot water. This is crazy slow
What are you gonna do with 40 gallons? Tankless water heaters like mine do 8.5 GPM
Renee here’s your hot water…
I thought it was a worm from a Still at first.
