DOC BRAUN POOL INVENTION SOLAR HEATER

Many years ago I dug by hand a extremely difficult and large hole to put an inground pool into. Being in the colder climates of Australia the pool didn't get much use as the water was icey even on peak summer days. So I built a 60 watt solar pyramid above the pool and engineered a solar powered solar heater interlocking gravity and solar into the one concept. The whole thing here is that the sun powers the pump which fills the bucket and thru gravity the pressure builds and the water is forced thru sun heated radiant coil pipes and then the heated water is returned back to the pool. To my knowledge I don't think anyone has done that before, sure there are heaps of mains powered pumps to circulate pool water thru and there are solar thermosyphon solar hot water systems around, but not a polycrystalline photovoltaic powered heater that direct converts the sun into electricity to drive a pump and then using the sun again the water is heated and returned back to the pool. I think it's quite clever as it bypasses the traditional problems and makes a nice heated fountain for the pool that costs nothing to run and makes a wonderful water feature in the backyard. I hope you enjoy my video and thanks for stopping by. Cheers, Doc Braun :)
