Many people don’t think about using the sun to heat their home during the cold months. Well, the sun puts out so much heat that it will give you a third degree burn if you were to put your body in from of the outlet tube.

1000 times more heat then any home furnace could ever put out. Here is a video on one of these home heaters. Remember that the larger you build one of these the more heat you will get.

This is not a kids easy bake oven!!! This is a serious home heating system.

Here is how you build one of these.

1st, you would need to build a frame from some wood. Remember the larger it is the more heat you will be able to collect and use.

Here are some pics for you to better understand:::

******By drilling a hole in the bottom of the cans this allows for the hot air to travel up through the hole into the next can. All the while the air is getting hotter and hotter. Pictured above there is bathtub calk used on the lip of the can so the another can be stacked on top of it.

*****Above you can see the cans stacked. This would be how you stack them into the box. You also want to use calk to secure them to the back of the box frame so they will not move.

******Above are some drawings showing some of what is explained here. Also, note that the small the hole you drill in the bottom of the cans the hotter the air will be when it reaches the outlet of the box at the very top.

******Above you can see one can with calk around it. The other one has a small hole in the bottom of it. It will be secured to the can above with the calk.

Next, you would out a back on this frame and secure it with nails or screws.

Now you would get some thin insulation and glue it to the back (inside) of the frame. After its glued into place you will want to spray paint it flat black using the same paint as you would if you were painting a BB-Q or engine block.

Now get yourself a bunch of aluminum cans and you will notice that there is already a hole in the tops of them for drinking. You want to drill a small hole in each of the bottom of the cans (about one half inch to one inch in diameter)

Next, you will want to glue the cans one on top of the other and against the insulation on the back of the frame. You can use about any strong glue however construction glue that you can buy in a tube will be the best and will not come apart easily.

Now you can paint all of the cans the same flat black that you used to paint the back of the frame.

Now take a drill an inlet hole near the bottom of the frame. About 3 or 4 one inch holes should be fine. These holes will allow for fresh air to enter into the boxed frame as the heated air escapes.

Drill a small hole near one corner of the boxed frame at the top. This will be the outlet for the heated air to be able to leave the boxed frame and enter into your home. On the back side or outside of the hole you just drilled you can mount a small computer fan (you can get one at radioshack for about $1.00) Now mount a small solar panel to the top of the boxed frame near the hole you drilled for the outlet. Mount the computer fan over the hole at the top. This will allow for the solar panel to run the small pc fan to force the heated air out of the boxed frame and into your home. (provided that you vent it into your home)

Now you can use either glass or plexi glass over the front of the boxed frame to prevent the heat from leaving without going through the aluminum cans and out the top outlet that you made.

You may also want to seal the plexi-glass to the front before securing it with screws to the frame.

Have you ever noticed how hot your car gets when it sits in the sun ever for just a few minutes? Yea, its like that accept 1000 times hotter.

With this system you will have created a solar heater that is forced air. It will only be on when the sun is out and making heat for you. Which is perfect as that is the only time you would want it on anyway.

On the outlet side near the top you can use the rolled copper tubing that you can buy at any home improvment center to vent this from the outlet hole through to your home. maybe even through a small hole in a basement window.

WARNING! THIS IS NOT A TOY! THE HEAT THAT COMES OUT OF THIS OUTLET TUBE WILL BE OVER 100 DEG. F

IF YOU SEALED THE BOX CORRECTLY IT MAY GET WELL OVER THIS.

How much heat does your furnace put out? I can guarantee its not anywhere near as hot as the air coming out of this system. In fact, you will get 3rd degree burns if you put any part of your body in front of the outlet or outlet copper tube.

Remember that the larger the frame you build the more heat that will be produced! I can not say this enough. You must be careful when using this type of system as it gets hotter then you could ever imagine.

Now all you have to do is lean this boxed frame up against the side of your home or garage making sure that the air inlet holes at the bottom are able to get air.

One person in the UK is using this system to heat his entire home. He tells me that his furnace has not kicked in the entire time due to all the heat he gets from the sun. He goes on to tell me that several timeshe had to open windows in the home to let some of the heat out as the home was 120 Deg. F inside at noon.

Here are pics of a stirling engine developed in early 1816. This was the first engine before gasoline and deisel engines were invented. You can also run this on solar heat!

These engines can run on any heat source including a mag. lense. (like the ones you used to burn ants when you were young)

Hook this up to a sun tracker and it would run forever! Well, okay maybe not forever but as long as the sun was shining or it found heat.

Many Americans are not waiting for Detroit to come out with electric cars. They are simply converting their gas hungry vehicles over to all electric.

It is suspected that big oil and their love affair with the gas monsters put an end to the EV1 made by GM a couple of years back. Thier take on it….If you cant put a meter on it what good is it to a company.

It seems that the person or company that designs the best battery will be rich beyond their dreams.

Here is a video showing some regular Americans that are not waiting for Detroit.

It is also argued that if mass produced these types of vehicles would be very cheap to buy for the average consumer as is most often the case and would cost the customer next to nothing in order to get around. Is this a threat to big oil? Most people believe that is absolutely is.

Now if you were to use your solar panel it would not cost you anything to charge your vehicle;-)

This is a great little machine called a WimHurst Machine. This machine was developed in the 1800’s by Robery WimHurst.

You turn the handle and it creates and stores an electric charge, then releases the charge into the top as seen in the video and pics below.

You know what it feels like to run your feet across the carpet and feel the static charge on the door handle, well this makes that same shock only about 10,000 time more.
