Yup, just as I expected, that is a long shot for "thermosiphon pumping".

Scientifically, thermosiphon is nothing more that basic thermodynamics where hotter water, being lighter floats upwards against gravity and/or on top of colder denser water per fluid dynamics too.

Wow, that is a long, long, long shot, but the thermosiphon will nonetheless works unless cooled by the ambient cold air. If possible insulate the solar heated water in transit for better thermosiphon flow.

si hay manera de controlar esto del calentamiento del agua .en un video de este mismo tema creado por brasileños le incluyeron un termostato o dispositivo de manera que cuando se ha alcanzado la temperatura del agua se cierra el suministro de agua al sistema de calentamiento solar .- este se hace mas eficiente y se evita estar tirando agua caliente . no recuerdo el nombre del video pero es el mas avanzado que he visto.

@cid911100 Esto es 100% natural de termosifón "bomba", sin necesidad de recursos adicionales o gastos como las bombas de agua caliente, válvulas, etc

Para quem está construindo um Aquecedor Solar Caseiro, este vídeo pode tirar muitas dúvidas e mostra como é que a água quente flui pelos canos. Super interessantes.

@DicasVerdes Muito obrigado pelos elogios.

thanks for the great video

Hi I am Brazilian and I liked the tips and put into practice

Ive tried this with about 750 feet of 1 inch black water pipe. Rigged it up to the boiler drain for cold water intake and poppet valve for hot water push. Seemed like it was taking forever! I could tell it was moving but just so slow. I think the resistance through the pipe was to great even tho it was 1 inch.  I ended up pushing it through with a pump and it got up to temp allot quicker.

Very very impressive., and thanks . Great illustration. Im going with Thermosyphon using an enclosed box and double pane window frame over the top with the water storage tank some 8' higher and 30' away ; i expect there will be flow but very very slow which is alright since it will have all day to work till i take my daily shower at 6 pm. Thanks for doing this for us. Very encouraging.

Could someone please explain the workings to me, i have a project which requires me to do computation based on thermosiphon flows using software related to thermo-fluid flows, will it be doable?
