Brother Ray - Solar Heat in Workshop

A video put together from the photos my brother sent of this solar heat project.
VERY inventive, and well done, and even attractive.

As usual for my Brother, Ray .. Here's part of his note when he sent the photos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­-------------------------------

The pictures are of my first attempt at solar heating the shop. The roof of the shop is cut into the side of the barn roof. Jack and Steve have seen it, but may not remember? I re-bent some gutters and sealed the strip where the heat came into the barn. Then put drops on the gutter and manifolded it to boxes, where small fans pull the heat and push it into the shop. I hope Carol doesn't miss her Rubermaid containers any time soon. The fans are 12vdc, .80ma, and the transformer is 300ma. It runs both of the fans without using much electricity. The low voltage is safer in the duct work too.It may work just fine, if the sun will shine?
I'll keep you posted,let me know if you need a picture of any of this mess. Have a good day, elton r.
