  • i am going to make this and see one question i was thinking to put it up against a big double glazed sliding door and velcro it on the inside of the window/ door.... would it heat up okay...would like some advice

  • Hi I think it would work fine good luck. Rich @WELLBRAN

  • Hi I tried cat food cans but took longing to heat pop cans are so thin they heat up right. Awaygood luck let me know how it works out for you. Rich

  • Hey thanks for posting this. What was the outdoor temperature when you did this?

  • Hi I think it was around 40 degrees @madwilliamflint

  • @richallenmusic Hey thanks. I've been watching your videos for the last few days and decided to build one. Got a shell created last night, only 3x4 (mostly because I can't fit 4x8 anything in my little car.) I hope to finish up an initial build today.

    I was shocked how much 0.093 plexi costs.

  • I know its a rip off.good luck @madwilliamflint

  • @Afternoon3Run its used in fall/ winter to help heat when sun is out

  • Some people are just trollin or fail to see the logic behind this really.

    Now let's say it freezing out there and the sun is shining you still get heat from it.

    Ive been looking all kinda stuff and I'm going to combine all this with solar and wind generators. Also I'm thinking about building my own water heater, also I'm thinking about to let someone drill a big hole to get my water from and I'm good to go to stop paying bills.

  • @richallenmusic rich, okay i have a test project that i will start up soon just a small box first and i will let you know how it goes

  • Hi! Nice instructions. I live in an apartment so I can't remove screens to put hoses through anything. You suggested in a pop up just putting it in a window. The sunlight comes through my back window really brightly between 10am and 4pm. If I made a box and put in on the Inside of my window, It should still work, pulling in air and heating it in the black cans and pushing out warm air at the top?? I guess I should start asking my friends to save their soda cans. Would this work with food cans?

  • Oh boy. Husband jumped up after watching this and is running around building one!

  • Great passive system

  • Very cool! Er, I guess hot... Nice to see such a simple approach. This is how I will make my first one for sure. I plan on attaching it to a dehydration box to dry fruits, veggies and meats. Seems like it will pump more than enough hot air to make it happen. Thanks for sharing your great research. Kudos!
