  • Do you think you are losing effenciencyby having both entrance and exit on the same side? How about opposite corners or even a maze to run the fan through all the cans.

  • @Davidautofull To tell you the truth I never thought about it. But I will look into it. Thank you for the comment, Lonny

  • do you have a thermostat hooked up i am lost i want to hook up a thermostat on my box but i dont now how to i just want to have the thermostat turn on the fan at a certain temp

  • @jjohn984able Yes, I do have a simple thermostat hook up that works real well and is easy to do. I will be making a video on it real soon. Thanks

  • @jjohn984able I just wanted to let you know that I did put up the thermostat video. I hope it helps you with your project. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks again, Lonny

  • I am on my first solar heater and it is very similar to yours. I was skeptical about it until it put out 178 degrees with it being 46 degrees outside. I'm in the process of fixing a few material errors, but I expect to be using it to supplement the heat in my house very soon.

  • Solar fan

  • @TheOnetimeatbandcamp that is the awesomest idea ever!!! I thought of welding together a miriad things and getting them underground and never thought of a radiator!!! so simple!

  • @TheOnetimeatbandcamp I think that is a great idea and well worth the time to try it out. That would be a great video for the future. Thanks for the idea and comment, Lonny

  • @markalxx1956 But, even a little sun, less MONEY to the power company.

  • KNOW SUN KNOW HEAT

  • @jjohn984able Most thermostats will support a light duty DC fan and they are pretty cheap around $10-$15. For a huge fan, a relay would be needed, but not necessary in this case.

  • can someone calculate how many rocks or briks we need to heat the house at night as well, thanks
