Great use of solar power for heating. It could be especially effective if coupled with passive solar design.

More info on passive solar can be found here:

FYI-the guy who owns solarwindowheaters.com is the inventor and holds 2 U.S. patents on solar air heaters. His other site was mentioned above in another post solarairsystems.com.

Hey all..you guys can see some awsome solar air heater build example using the solar air heater profiles from solarwindowheaters.com. I purchased 30 profiles 44.5 inches long and built my own 4 foot by 8 foot solar air heater. You can see pictures of my unit on thier Blog center. It was well worth the cost and they are real good people when it comes to technical support. Anyway, I’m happy and warm!

Hi.Thank you for your answer.

I’ve seen the video several times, and I really don’t get what you mean by ” hole in the side of the bottom can of each column”..

From whay I’ve seen in several passive air heaters, the air should enter at the bottom and after being heated get out on the top.

You also mention “to drive air through the snake”, what make me wonder if you have the cans connected from side to side.
If so, how do you did this connection?

“In the bottom can of each column a 1/2 to 1 inch hole is drilled in the side. (see image below) – Drill a hole in the side of the bottom can of each column – The rest of the cans in the column have a similiarly sized hole drilled into the bottom. See image below)”

I can’t understand what’s the pretended effect of this.. Also, I neither can’t see any “image below” where this is covered.

Can you please explain better? Thanks.
