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.
Again, not as efficient as A/C and a heating system in the apartment or house.
This is meant as a supplemental heat source. Use your heads ppl
you can make a hot water heater that wat too
Why would you heat HOT water moron?
If you were living off the grid moron.there are people that do not have hot and cold water. that have no heat. Last winter alone so many people needed heat because of outages. Think first, then comment.
he was referring to it being called a “hot water heater” because if it’s hot water, you don’t need to heat it, because it’s already hot… lol making the word “hot water heater” just plain ridiculous – it’s just a water heater, not a hot water heater.
It is also called a hot water heater. It’s a heater that tuen cold water into hot water. Apparently you forgot that part! 🙂
It’s called a water heater
Not for us, we need a solar air con, but maybe good for you guys that live in cold weather areas.
