here is one of eight videos of my solar heater i am in the process of building and one that is running that i built over a few weeks a few months ago. i got this idea from a fellow newfie who makes them and sells them. the company is cansolair there is a video on here about it. i also watched other videos from other hommade solar heater makers, (shoestring405) in particular who i had asked a few questions and was very helpful, thanks.
this heater that is running is 4' by 7' it has 182 cans, it has a 'snap disc' control that when the panel get up to 32'c it turns the fan on and when it gets to 21'c it shuts off. on a clear day the panel will come on at around 10:30 at 32'c and keep going up til 1:00 when its at its peak at 60-67'c and will stay there til 3:30 at will gradually go back down the same way it came up to temp and will shut off between 6 and 7 the room temp i have seen it at 28'c when i wasn't blowing it in the main part of the house :) i love this thing and the sun
if anyone has any questions or comments feel free and i will anwser the best i can enjoy.
