I've been watching this channel for years and years now.
Agreed, sir
Thank you for watching..... :-)
ive seen these videos since highschool and im back here again. 👍
same. i am so glad i found it all those years ago
Indeed, that's a very good idea.
Thanks for sharing and take care of yourself man.
Nice. This is some great thinking outside the box Dan to give a trailer a secondary use when just taking up space!
Parked next to my currently cold garage in the sun much of the heating period, this will happen soon!
Thank you Kip!!!!!
Great idea!
So glad your back making videos. I hope alls well.
Cool designs like this makes me think we could go carbon neutral relatively quickly if more people realized it was this easy.
Great to see you getting viewing figures in the thousands Dan, as so many commenters have already said it's great to get some new videos from you after such a long break. I hope none of your subscribers have been hidden or removed by RUclips.
I’m glad I found your channel again I used to watch you years ago you are an inspiration to all
nice- I just started my solar journey - have to say , your channel was one of the first that got me into it :)
One of the best ideas I have ever seen posted on your channel! Well done!
A good way to heat your - rented house that you can't modifiy at all and pay a lot for electricity to heat it - Park near by an old recycled dark car, connect the pipe to the window true a hole into plexyglass : )
Great idea, and well executed proof-of-concept. Nice job Dan! 👍
‼️WOW 😳 Dan...that is IMPRESSIVE ‼️‼️
Such an awesome Chanel and videos
Very glad you're making videos again!
You always have unique, practical, real world ideas. Thanks so much for all your videos.
good to have you back, greetings from Chile
Mad genius Dan, thanks!
Great videos!
I missed your videos!
So glad you are back Dan!
Your videos are awesome!
Hoping for more solar cooking videos too.
This is a great idea seasonally
You never cease to amaze with your variety and simplicity.
Did it get below 70 at night this year in Tampa?
More please.
I was going to build a collector, but I realized our house is always warm enough on sunny cold days. So I needed a way to store the heat for later...mtc
hot water storage tanks?
TheRainHarvester molten salt storage
Thanks! I've been trying to get a solar cooker going and now I think I know how. I need more surface area!
You just gave me
What i think is a great idea...
Build a maybe 12 inch deep by maybe 12 feet long and 8 feet high collection area with maybe asphalt roofing to store heat in...
And to make the plastic front double wall
The system Zip Tie Geodesic builds his inner and outter plastic.
Pointed at. the optium winter angle.
How to get that angle north to south
Use a flat surface you can tilt. Place a red solo cut large side down on the surface and tilt trying to remove the shadow. around noon time
Rember that is for the up and down tilt not the east to west
I am impressed!
Hi Dan! Awesome idea
Nice idea Dan!
Brilliant
love this idea. i was wondering if someone with rich black soil could do the same and possibly use the heat rising as the source of a blower? you would have to do it on a hill of some sort with a entry/exit system.
What a great vid. What kind of results would you get if you snaked 20, 30, or 40 feet of tubing in the body of the trailer? By the time the air traveled through the tubes, it would warm up a lot more.
that was quick
To bad I live so far from you, would love to do a colab vid. I build rooftop solar heaters. My own design, efficient enough it can take the chill off the garage in the middle of a Canadian winter (on a bright day)
👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
You should do a quick video of your own. Even if it's just the basics. Dan has done a lot to further the education and thinking of the masses, no reason you can't make your contribution as well. 👍👍
I love the idea of solar powered heater, may work very well in day time. Unfortunately, I don't think it will work at night where we need it the most.
This is just an old idea he shared with people .maybe to get us to think outside the box. Cast iron & concrete hold alot of thermal
No, but you could cut your heating costs in half by using solar heating during the day, and only using your electric/gas heater at night when you need it.
It works better using water since you can store the energy easier, but if you have a large attic, you can use that to store the hot air until sundown.
@@FixItYerself one could make a black rectangular pool inside the trailer with polyethylene sheeting.
Awesome
As glazing this soooo cheap! Would it work on a way more shallow aluminum window screen type collector or would it melt?
How does this compare to using painted black aluminum cans throughout the same amount of square feet? The trailer is simpler process than expensive glass and the work with the cans
The space in the boards don’t affect the heater?
A roof space works well also and you can just run two thermostats one in the roof and one in the cold hose to auto heat the house when ever the roof is hotter than below
Can you elaborate further please?
@@matthewbraxton7515 its a duct fan, filter and thermostats to move the heat from your roof to inside the home. Can be a single outlet or ran off the cooling system, by a zone duct to swap them over for summer or winter.
Thanks
I wish we had sunlight in our winters.
Do you use a fan to get the aristream?
WOW
I run lawn equipment too!
Genius
makes sense
Question, Dan. Is there sufficient air flow at the end of output tube to turn a fan connected to generator to produce thermal-wind power? If so, any estimate of enery potential? Understanding this depends on sun strength and duration.
No. The airflow you see in the video is from the solar powered blower fan. Thermal convection strong enough to turn a turbine would require a very large structure, with very complex engineering to get strong enough passive convection for a turbine or fan.
I want to do something like this for my condo but my condo gets no sunlight. So im stuck paying a shit ton each month in electricity.
Simple and cheap. Green energy doesnt need to be stonking great windfarms and dirty cobalt Li-on batteries.
Hello Dan. Is your wife still hosting with you? Thanks for this method heating statistics.
Hi Tom, she will be soon, working on a solar cooking video when the weather clears.

Well look who shows up to bless us!
More like 800 watts per sq meter or less depending time of day × 10 sq meters × maybe 30% efficency. Why 30% efficency, remember losses to plastic reflectivity, less than full black solar absorbent paint, thermal conduction through the thin plastic metal walls and wood bottom, and radiative losses due to the higher temperature inside. Check out the radiative loss with a thermal camera.
If the numbers I guestimated are pretty close, you are still getting close to 2.4kw of solar thermal heat out that pipe.
That looks like a good idea, 2.4 Kw is still a good amount of heat to warn a room, elec is expensive here down under. up to 45 cents a Kwh. I think I would have been able to cook in this thing the other day when we had 46.5.C.
@@steviebboy69 I'm sorry but that is just crazy pricey. I'd have to check but i think am close to $0.15. But I'm about 50 miles from a nuclear power plant.
@@steviebboy69 remember, the faster you pull the heat out, the more efficent the solar collector is, but counter intuitively, the lower temp will be.
@@kreynolds1123 My power is 20 cents per Kwh and there is a daily supply charge as well $1.05. some people pay$1.50 just for so called supply charge. all we have in Victoria is old nearly EOL Brown coal for base load. Hi demand sees load shedding, people are pissed off being blacked out for hrs in high summer heat., Aussie power among the most$$$ in the world.
@@steviebboy69 I'm sorry. I suspect that has to hurt industry, jobs, and generally lower your quality of life as you have to spend substantually more per unit of electrical energy than elsewhere around the world.
Is anyone in Texas paying attention?!
38°F = 3.33°C
98°F = 36.66°C
Why don't people heat their houses with this in the winter??
Because no one has gotten their act together enough to make such a commercial product readily available/practical/priced right. US government regulations and building codes are also a problem, since such a device would not necessarily meet the arbitrary government building codes in all areas of the nation (the codes are different, based on local city, or in rural areas, the county).
To make the device more practical, the design should be modified with insulated walls, a slanted hardened glass window (like solar photovoltaic panel glass, so as to withstand hail), it should be parked with the solar collection surface oriented towards the south, it should have removable axels to function as a permanent shed, it should contain a mirror portion internally to increase peak temperature output capability on cold and windy (but still sunny) days, and it should contain at least a 1000 liter (preferably more) thermally insulated water storage tank, that can heat up in the daytime, and then provide the homeowner's house with continuous heat, in the form of hot water, all night long. The device should also be sold in conjunction with a small electric pump (ideally with a small battery and solar photovoltaic panel to power it all day and night long), some thermally insulated water lines (one to send hot water into the house, and one for the partially cooled return water), and a water/air heat exchanger for use inside the house. Ideally, it should also come with a water-water heat exchanger to act as a preheater for incoming cold tap water, prior to reaching the domestic hot water unit inside the house.
To prevent the water storage tank and water lines from freezing in prolonged exceptionally cold and dark conditions, a bag of salt (sodium chloride, calcium chloride, or magnesium chloride, depending upon local climate) should also be provided, so the user can add it to the water storage tank to function as antifreeze for the water. Ideally, the water storage tank should be large enough to store enough thermal energy to heat the house for several consecutive cloudy days. Ideally, the interior glass surface would also have some warming channels/pipes running under it, and a circulation pump that could activate and take thermal energy from the storage tank and use it to melt snow off the glass, following a snow storm.
Ideally, some of the unit surface area should be dedicated for solar electric panel, with a small heat pump located inside the hot air zone of the trailer, so as to boost the peak temperature of the stored water in the thermal storage tank. A heat pump operating with already warm intake air can have very high coefficient of performance (COP), thus it would not need to be especially large or require especially high electrical energy input, in order to raise the temperature of the water quite a bit in the thermal storage tank. The heat pump would also still work (with lowered efficiency) on cloudy days, and when combined with enough hot water thermal storage, would enable potentially continuous heat for the home, even during periods of cloudy days.
Such a system described above might start to sound complicated, but it would still work quite well in many climates, so long as the area is not completely cloud covered all winter long. Some places do have such problems, but many places do not, and such a system would be quite practical in such locations.
Nope, I don't set reminders for a youtube video.
Everyone hates this feature...
