  • Certaine vidéo utilise tuyau de cuivre et canette d'aluminium mais il semble qu'ils ne vont pas bien ensemble, pourriez-vous le confirmez? Le plastique n'étant pas très bon conducteur, je reste hésitant.

  • Very good.

    Im from Brasil - Rio de Janeiro

  • I like the resevoir made of a repurposed Maxwell House coffee container. Good to the last drop!

  • Hey Rich

    I enjoy the videos and all the Mad Scientist stuff you try. Have you ever tried using bricks

    as thermal mass in the heater, they have three holes so you could run water pipes through them and after the bricks heat up of course paint the bricks black and you could use a tin can air heater as a preheater making the bricks heat even faster with brick mass the water should heat faster and temps drop less due to the thermal mass. I love the gutter tin can heater and the led windmills!

  • Hey Rich

    really enjoy all of the mad scientist stuff you do I was wondering if you use brick inside the frame they have three holes in the brick could run water pipe through them or just air only and paint the brick black the mass of the brick will keep the temp from dropping so fast but the down side it will take longer to heat up, just a thought Have you ever used a tin can heater as a pre-heater for a solar water heating system linking the two would help the bricks heat faster

  • God Bless you and the baby!

  • Really liking the videos, made an air heater just to test, 60 degree C from a cardboard box with beer cans and a black plastic bag in the process of making a bigger one, have to drink lots of beer but willing to do that to save the planet. Just a thought but have you thought of coupling a Pelter Cell to the air heater to create power.

  • @poutchies thats a good ideal may look into it

  • HEY RICH, WHY NOT PAINT THE WATER BOTTLES BLACK, INSTEAD OF JUST THE TUBES. LIKE THE SOLAR AIR HEAT?

  • @hotheadedjoelhaha The water bottles act as a greenhouse.

  • You kno, I as just about to start experimenting with this, when I found your video. You just saved me a bunch of time and brain cells. thank you.

  • like the vid good job.

  • Nice experiment, got me thinking too - thanx!

  • looks like the plastic bottles work alright, great test! keep us posted if you build bigger!

  • i cant wait till summer to test all these ideas out. we still have a ton off snow and rarely any sun out here until summer. i have all the supplies for the solar air heater and most the stuff for this one. just need to get the pvc stuff. thanks for another great invention and video.

  • Hey rich

    Could it be that the heater with the bottles is loosing some temp at the bottom where the pvc pipes or resting on the ground?

    Its just a idea

    Love your videos

  • @water4fuelh20 hi i could see how a big one would work in good sun

  • You are genius and your ideas are priceless. There will come time when I am gong to use your technology. Thank you so much bro for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us.

    zoran

  • neat projects! i cant wait to see how they do with a summer sun

  • have you thought of using pex? It goes on sale every now and then. Could you solve the problem of freezing in cold climates and heat storage for me? lol

  • @preparedchipmunk people do use pex i try to use stuff i have here when im just messing around

  • @preparedchipmunk you could use a closed loop glycol system - it would run through the pipes outside and then into the tank, which would heat the water in the tank - bit more challenging and costly to do, but it works - a drain back system which would allow you to drain the water out when the sun is gone would work too...but risky...

  • @lad18913290 if i got good sun thats what i would do but i don't when the leaves come out i get no sun at all just light

  • @richallenmusic i c, hard to justify....i think you've inspired me to give it a try at least, lol...thx for sharing!

  • instead of the pop can you could use aluminum bubble wrap or maybe mylar..is more reflective and very cheap..ive also been robbing the mirrors out of broken big screens tvs

  • @centervilletn HI i use what i have on hand 

  • looking forward to trying this. great post!
