@HHOhybridBuilder It should work anywhere there's sunlight. I know once the sun hits mine it only takes a few minutes before the temp. inside is at 110 degrees. I know it would be a waste of time where there's no sun light. The temp. also has alot to do with heat loss. I have a friend that builds these and he was getting 138 degrees F out of his when the temp was around zero F. Good luck if you decide to build one.
@joulian0720 28.8 cfm is the rating for 1 fan. I'm using 2 fans. one blows the air from my home into the heater while the second blows out returning the heated air back into my home. I'm not sure what the ratio of cfm would be. I don't know if it doubles or not. I do know it makes a big difference if i only have one going. It does make a difference in the room. The room is not that large, it's my dining room. maybe 250 square feet.
@boxa888 Yes it was consistently 120+ degrees during the winter months as well. I did another update with the temp. outside being 42 degrees the solar heater was pushing out 110 to 120 degrees. When the sun was shining, it was producing. Thank you for watching :)
@boxa888 No I haven't I'm currently working on an HHO separator cell. I plan to post my results. This will allow HHO boosters for a car without having to trick the electronic fuel system with an EFIE control. Most states frown upon tampering with fuel system electronics. This cell separates the gases so the hydrogen alone can be used and the Oxygen can be vented off or stored or whatever.
@jab0805 nice! so im sure you know stan meyers and the whole scene, u can hit resonnant frequencies and supposedly run the car just on water alone, he was killed for his work so he must of been right lol. yea send me videos i would love to see, i do my alternative energy work too if u ever want to see it. great work!
Hi Jab.. I was wanting to build one of these. I was curious as to why you used this design rather than the pop can version? I'm trying to decide which to do. Just wondering if you researched both? This one looks really good. Nice job on the build! :)
Thanks:) I did research both, and I actually started to build the pop can solar heater. It was just too time consuming. I found this particular design on here (youtube). modernblacksmith is the screen name. I also have a friend on here richallenmusic that uses gutter downspouts. He stuffs them with pop cans from one end to the other. He doesn't even have to glue them together. Great results too. You should check them out.
I use 2 computer fans. The one that cools the power supply on a desk top pc. 12 volt. I'm using a car battery that is being charged by a 18 volt trickle solar panel charger.
Awesome.Is this gonna work up here? Not enough sunlight and mostly below zero centigrade temperatures.

U said u had a computer fan correct? How many cfm's ?
That temp reading was great !
Does it make a difference in the room ( how big of a room )
It seems like with such a small air flow it wouldn't make that big of a difference?
Maybe on a 65degree day it might ?

Thanks a bunch. I'm checking out their channels

Wat to go! I can't wait to build one myself. Thanks for another inspiring video.

what kind of fan do you use? duct fan? computer fan? what type of power supply to run the fan?
