Hold up! You are limited to just the amount of hot water within the tubes! So if you washed dishes or took a shower....you would run out of hot water in a few minutes! Right? Don't get me wrong...I want it to work so I can do one myself! I am working on a aluminum can heater now.... Mad Mark

@TheMadMarkShow guys, I implore you, if you want to chime in on this video or any conversations herein, please read watch all 8 parts to this video and read all comments, it will seriously answer any question you may have on how I use this heater.

The flow is wrong like I told you on the last video you are losing 70% and you will double your temp when make a box and cover it with glass! He you got the colors right!

[TheDudeRulez09]

@TireHome see other reply on other video you posted other on....

hey..if u dont mind telling me abt the gaps in between those tubes..?how wide are the gaps between each center of the tubes..?

[TheDudeRulez09]

@iqah29 sorry it took so long to get back to you, the gaps on this prototype is 5 inches, the reason being is I didn't think about volume or insulation as much as getting a working model, there is plenty of space for another flow tube in between these and if you know what 3/4-3/4-3/4 copper tee's look like then you can literally make small inserts to butt the ends up tight, this will help in both volume and insulation.

Number 8 never came up! Instead of writing all that stuff you wrote couldn't you have just answered my question.....?

[heuffzwembaden]

Yes it gives warm water but no rendement. You need to have maximum flow to heat a big pool!!

[John1576able]

TheDudeRulez. I had no idea you intended to drink such water, I thought it was strictly for heating and washing purposes. Good point anyway.

[TheDudeRulez09]

@John1576able please do not tell people to do things that will harm them, old radiators are filled with rust and other heavy metals and are very not suitable for drinking water, if you use them them make a closed loop system and run a glycol mixture through them to do a heat transfer setup to a potable water tank.

I believe in reuse things as much as possible but in the safe and correct way only.
