"Give and it shall be given unto you..." Luke 6:38.
This video will show you how I built my passive solar heater using 255 cans.
It was re-released because I made an unpardinable mistake in the original intro. Thanks for watching...

  • This question has been asked 9812381293 times probably, but what if you make the holes in the cans some smaller, wouldn't that slow down the air and heat it up even moire?

  • @Biervrienden It would slow the air down and generate more heat, but the goal is to get the heated air inside the house at a faster exchange rate. The warmer the air is inside the house the easier it will be to heat with help from your panels. I hope my jibberish makes sense... :)

    Thanks for writing...

  • Thank you very much

  • @bscfrnd1 Thank you...

  • Great project! I am interested in doing this project in the near future. Do you know if this type of heater produces any toxins in the air from the heating of the cans? I just want to make sure I'm not breathing in anything harmful because of this (which I am hoping is not the case b/c this seems like a great idea!!) Also, do you just cover this panel up, or take it down, in the summer? Thanks!!

  • Great vid and great idea. Keep up the good work!

  • @panthiere its not lauan its falcata

  • @matrixm777 Check out richallenmusic's channel, the video on the "final thoughts". He made several of these using different materials. He didn't have to drill holes in the cans either and the performance was essentially the same.

  • very cool! Great narration too :) thanks!

  • What if you looped all the cans together to form one continues loop from with one opening at the input end, and one at the output end, allowing for higher temperatures as the air is passing up and down and around the whole loop. Might have to have a higher power fan, or make it out of coffee cans, but the principal is sound I think.

  • Very good job of showing the entire step by step process, if I had run into this video first it would saved me from watching dozens of lesser videos. Thank you!

  • "In this picture..." :D
