annoying. it's called youtube, not picture tube or talk tube. next time make a real video not just pictures with talking.

Respond to this video... Like you said it is called YOUTUBE...Not VIDEOTUBE....Go somewhere else and cry.

Do you think the flat black interior is better than having a shiny mylar type surface? On the one hand I think black would be most absorptive. On the other, wouldn't a shiny surface just reflect the heat back onto the piping and cans? I've seen it done both ways and I don't know which is better. Thoughts?

nice vids bro, i subbed you.

Paint. If you are concerned with the quality of air that you breath, dont use ANY solvent based paint. Use a flat black latex with low or better yet ..NO VOC = volatile organic compounds. You dont need a high heat paint for a solar heater. They simply dont get that hot. No point to saveing a dollar on heat and costing youself your health. PEACE

I'm in Oregon. What about days when its 45 (or less) outside and overcast? How much heat would one put out then?

[frankx794]

I would use metal dryer tube. Also, try sealing the unit, and install one seperate inlet and one outlet. Should get more heat as the outside cool air will not cool the interior.

instead of plastic sewer pipe, try the pipes you get from the back of dryers, you know those aluminum pipes for dryer exhaust. aluminum would crank out more heat then plastic =)

[salsasucks]

Do you sell these?

[LiquidChem]

cold air rising to the top?

[killerfishthensum1]

should of used balck sprayed paintedcans get twice the heat!!!!!!

[defiythelie]

plastic tubing is not really a good idea in high temps. they can melt or give off toxic fumes. Flexible Aluminum dryer venting works well as does beer and soda cans.

@defiythelie you mean ducting not tubing lol.

[YuliReggie]

hey is that a special glass or we can use any glass??? what about the wood is any kinda wood too??

[Learnthethingsido]

@YuliReggie You can Use any glass Pluxy Glass real glass anything!

[bboysnack]

@YuliReggie i dont believe it would make any difference because the heat is still created now for the heat that is escaping you might look and try to find what you believe would leave out the minimum amount of energy(heat energy)

You made a mistake. Use black chaulking instead of white.

Cool man :) 5 stars

Holy Cow, good job, insulation is imperative or you might not get really any heat gain in the winter, the size is small unless you use reflectors on the outside (V-shaped wings)around the box might double the efficiency. And always whenever possible, metal like flat black aluminum or even tin is much more heat receptive. Thanks for the post.

@kelltiozim

Now that I finished the video it seems that you are drawing cold air from the outside?? Wait till it's 30 degrees and slightly cloudy, and it's won't help. You must draw the bottom air from inside of the structure being heated, and of course vent the heated air back inside again. It should make a looped path from inside to solar box back to inside. Just wanted to clarify that point. Good deal.

Mother Earth had plans for one of these. I'd like to see how you would attach it to the window to pull out the cold air and put the warm air inside. Thanks
