I Managed to Make use of Another Sunny Part of The Day This Time much Better! This Test was "Much" more Impressive than the first.. Just Look at that nice steam with a flow of water =)

-I had also asked someone else to judge the temperature of the water in a glass, within this video.

The Outside Temperature was at About 19 Degrees Celcius for this test. You can see breifly at the end of the video.

- I am convinced that within even cooler conditions, it is possible to still get hot water! Also, a good possibility, my concept could be used in conjunction with a small steam engine to produce electricity.

A pyrex top cover, made the same as the bottom and a fresnel lens with flat black copper pipe will also assist the water to get hot REALLY fast! So the fresnel lens will focus the beam directly to the black pipe and in turn, heat the top of it, this will also further heat the oil which rests above the pipe.

Remember, this is a very small device, and to make larger, would not be that expensive to do. I do not think it will have to be more than 4x's larger than this to provide enough hot water for a regular household HWT of around 40 gallons.. If you do it right.

This Unique Idea with the Pyrex in Conjunction with Copper Piping in Coil and Non-toxic Oil has been presented now, and it looks quite promising! So for anyone who would like to try a larger solar water heating system, I completely recommend this concept! Enjoy the video. Good things can come in small packages.

  • OK, I use this all the time at work, to make coffee.Get a think piece of Styrofoam, cut out the middle so you can insert a black bread pan. preferably foa on the sides and underneath, cover with upside down Pyrex, place in the sun. In no time at all. . . .very hot water . . .. SCALDING even !

  • @muserwood thanks

  • um I hear that it's not that slow, yeah I believe you everyone should know it's scalding hot everyone and it's easy, quick, and cheap.  Thanks.

    One thing- ya'all aint here, but everyone is. Thanks. I know a couple things you can do to make this really worthwhile, message me.

    Let me see if I understand what the concept is that you have here. I know there is a parabola at the bottom, a pyrex dish with water in it or oil and I'm assuming a wound copper tube in the heated liquid wich circulates the water.  What am I missing? We only see a second of the entire setup at 3:45. If you improve it and do a second video, could you do more shots showing th entire setup from further away and give details?

  • @IronHorsez88 I also show and explain how its made on another video. There is oil in the pyrex dish.

  • @IronHorsez88 What is interesting is the potential even up here in Canada.

see all

  • 3,45

  • Paint that pan black that you have foil on, it will draw more heat.

  • putting the coil and oil in a vacum might transfer heat better

  • how many time did he say it's hot?

  • i thought the clock shows 3:45 .

  • I understand the solar heat but how is this a water heater that would provide hot water for any real use?
