Good job on the solar air heater. I'm thinking about making one as well and I'm glad to see someone else in NS is using them.

This would actually be simpler than most would think, it just requires lots of piping and mirrors (and even some lenses to intensify the lightflow).

Just paint it black then place the glass sheet over it. The Sun will heat it up and will soon dry and harden.

Foam is a bad ideal when to hot or melts the fumes are toxic .Check out duct board ,check out these bilge blowers 12volt 3inch or 4inch amazon.com PS:Like your design,Just being a caring person

Good job, was nice and clever to reduce emissions of your heating system !
But I think the insulating material used is dangerous because it releases toxic fumes when overheated. We recommend you to use, on your next manufacturing, fiberglass or stonewool with aluminum foil, which withstand high temperatures and does not release toxic gases. Careful though the dust in their use. I hope I helped and sorry for my English, but I'm from Greece.

@modernblacksmith the pl400 has similar solvents to the ones you mention in the barbeque paint @7:48

Pussies need mitres anyways..hahah..and Pussies don't work well in the winter.. good job ;)
don't use pl 400 with it degrades the foam. use pl 300 instead.

@guicapone2 well, no matter what type of solar power you use none work nearly as well in the winter. when I did the temp reading it was -10c that day

After watching about 50 vids on how to do this, yours seems to be as very good, fast & economic to create too. So, can you post some real numbers on the befor/after results inside the house from using it and the volume of space it's heating?
Thx

@robwiley01 the simplest way to to think about this is imagine you just put in a window this size into your south facing wall the sun that would come into your window and heat the room is about the same. You CANNOT get more heat than that, the sun only has so much to offer. one 4x8 box per 200 sq ft, would be ideal....
