    I did and it works fine, I think I would use 6 inch ducting next time…..

    hey do you think you could use huge freshnel lenses on your set up?

    I think that defeats the purpose, glass is the way to go, basiclally you’re making a greenhouse and sucking the air out…

    First 5 stars for making your video in such cold weather.
    Second great job! I’m in the process of building one myself using glass. But for testing i’m not going to mount to the house. i will make a window box and run the ducting in that way.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Good job on the solar air heater. I’m thinking about making one as well and I’m glad to see someone else in NS is using them.

    1:Is a Rebate.
    Don’t understand the difference between Styrofoam & rigid foam.—- Not convinced it is as efficient as it could possibly be; however; one of the better hands on “how to” features on this subject.– 10 points for effort.

    Great job! Yours is a faster way than the one I am working on now…I have to make the top manifold next, and I will be ready to paint and install it. Made mine with soda and beer cans; found a really fast way to assemble them without using so much caulk. Will put up videos this later this week.

    How do you get the warm air to flow out?

    After watching about 50 vids on how to do this, yours seems to be as very good, fast & economic to create too. So, can you post some real numbers on the befor/after results inside the house from using it and the volume of space it’s heating?
    Thx

    This looks much easier than the beer can unit.
    I wonder how it compares. Looks like it would be a lower profile but would it generate as much heat?

    what exactly does this do? (I’m unfamiliar with solar collector types)
