A simple solar heater that is cheap and easy to make. When there is direct sun on the unit it produces heat like a hair dryer.
According to the creator it produces a stream of air of around 120 degrees.
Some suggested tips for improvement:
– Make sure your black paint is matte so it doesn’t reflect the sun.
– The air moves by convection, however, you could add a small computer fan on the outlet and wire it to a 12 volt solar cell the unit to control the air rate.
– The intake size could be adjusted to control air rate as well. Making the intake smaller will give the air time to heat up while passing through the dryer ducting but it will slow down the rate of air flow. You can run it hot and slower or with more air and not as warm.
– A flat plate could be added between the intake tube and inside wall up to a little pulley inside the house. You could then adjust the air rate like this as well and have an on/off option.
– Add insulation to help maintain heat running through the system. Could prove vital for very cold areas.
But Obama told ISIS not to let you use it.
Anything that will help cut down on utility bill is a plus. Thank you for posting. Some of these people want everything for nothing and are not even willing to try adapting for their environments.
I would try to put in some sort of blocks like the ones that are used in off peak heaters. To retain the heat for a longer time.

People are getting lazier by the day 🙁
why is it lazy? does it really work?
I’d rather be lazy than pay an arm and a leg for electricity. Jason clearly does not support a family of 4 on a single income to wanna try and shave already outrageous electric bills.
Trying anything is better than taking it in the_ _ _ we need more ideas like this.
I built one like this in 1976 for the CE commander it worked great .one of the engineers took it to an air force energy compaction and won first place.they used it for Several year in CE at Altus Air Force Base
