How large is your …
How large is your house, in square feet, or square meters, or whatever? What are the average, annual, seasonal temperatures where you live? How well is your house insulated? I’m curious to hear all of these things because I’m interested in constructing something similar and I would like to have a good idea as to how many I can expect to construct to heat the house where I live? Thanks.

what did you glue the cans together with?
well said …

hi rose the cans …
hi rose the cans are stuck together on top of one another by using silicone
I saw several of …
I saw several of your videos and it seems you where using glue to stick the cans together. I listened to variouse youtube videos on Mr Meaney and i understood from one that he sort of hooks the cans together. I have tried to cut holes in variouse ways to get cans to catch together but hardly been very sucessfull yet but i’m not a great handy woman.
I reckon that if the house gets warm during the day it lessens the problem at night even if it does not heat at night. rose madrid.
it can be cloudy …
it can be cloudy and it will still collect a good amount of heat
Please give us an …
Please give us an update of your project, did you install it and it worked as expected? is it still little bit warm at night? Something I didn’t understand is where the cold air is coming from, do you have something to inhale the cold air? It would be great if you could provide a step by step guide. Thanks for sharing!
easy, work at night!
easy, work at night!
well, unless you …
well, unless you live in a tent, your house is probably insulated. soooo pump in warm air, house heats up, insulation stops warm air leaving. cat is warm during day, and when you get home, your house will be warmer than if you left in the morning without the heater on…
great thing, but i …
great thing, but i suggest for you to use plastic not metal pipes to do not loose the heat
it looks great, you …
it looks great, you did a good job but I keep wondering. If it’s sunny outside do you really need a heater? I’m not getting it. How will it work during the winter?
I know how it works I just don’t understand the use.
Anyone clear that up for me?
that pipe outside …
that pipe outside the window will low the temperature of the warm air a little bit on the way.will be better covered with foam or something.cogratulations good job.

what about night …
what about night time? It heats the house while your at work? Keeps the cats warm? Sorry?
it would still heat …
it would still heat the inside regardless.. the black is a conductor of heat from the sun. IT will increase the temp probly up to 100 or so…
I finished my …
I finished my prototype yesterday and put it outside. Got great results… I’m mounting it tomorrow. I actually got a 100 degree gain drawing in the open air. I will post video soon.
Or you can just buy …
Or you can just buy black curtians and do the same thing. Americans spent thousands of dollars coming up with a pen that would work in zero gravity, russians just used a pencil. lol.
to get heat at …
to get heat at night.. i think using heat bricks like econ 7 heating.. if this gives out this type of heat then i am sure after a few hrs of heating the bricks will carry on for a few hrs after dark

Just about finished …
Just about finished my “portable” can solar heater, had a little delay with a company who were to make my top & bottom chambers, they took too long so I went & made them myself.
The perspex will be sealed on tomorrow & the final photo’s taken for the video & I’ll up as soon as. I have made a little modification to that of the canadians design..lol. p.s theres a little experiment at the end of the video for u skeptics to try
thanks..humbertini900
but, i do imagine …
but, i do imagine if it had some water the heat would last a little longer as the sun goes down plus the humidty level would be higher thus more effeicent on heating the air, in the winter time that would be a little harder to deal with then on the outside though. Maybe one could inject a little water in the winter time to basically make a little steam, I hate dry winter heat makes my sinuses crazy I run humidifers and still not enough plus keeps the heating bill down a tad bit.
What about when …
What about when it’s really cold outside?

home made…I’m impressed…dude,that’s amazing!
If they say you …
If they say you need a 40 euro battery to fun a 5 euro fan, ask them witch panel will run the fan without a battery.
Luvely stuff, today …
Luvely stuff, today I’m gettin the wood framing delivered for my project, cans are already glued & ready. I have based my can heater round the canadian & hungarian design, no spec was given for the large unit so I am building a smaller test unit using 81 cans first (like urs), I have inserted deflector fins into each can & will use 4 comp fans for the small unit, I have recorded all sizes of the project & will upload photo’s etc once complete. p.s. u can add more fans to your unit & larger pipe

hi i have a 1.5watt 12 Volt Battery maintainer solar panel from maplin unfortunately i do not know the wattage of the computer fan.i have been to maplin’s and they say that i need a battery.
are there different types of panel.
thanks for your reply
