    This panel can put out close to 100 watts ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.

    This is old technology, we in the UK built these 4 mtr panels in 1972. Our panels were made of copper sheet and had 15 mm copper pipe soldered to the copper sheet. They worked very well under glass until the Thermomax tubes came along. These tubes are now very low price and provide all your hot water requirements !

      Question: If this was practiced in the seventies, and you remember it, did you read Papanek's Design For The Real World? This isn't in it, but is in a similar vein. I'm 59, UK resident and come yearly to Kerala. Love seeing how the people here sort problems. I'm curious as to what readers thought of his book at the time. I read it in the mid-eighties and still love it. If you never read it, sorry.

    Really nice execution, but so much work involved!

Those transfer plates in 4 foot lengths are about $2-3 USD in 100ft quantities. To me that seems pretty cheap compared to the time to make your own.

She turned and gave me that look, the one that could strip the heat shielding off the space shuttle. I am caulking baseboards in the room additions as we speak.

    If it gets hot enough, you can either use peltiers or Stirling engines to get a little electricity for the system and as long as you have a drop from height in the system you can also use a water turbine as well. It's not much electricity 10w but that's still enough to add extra charge to a system.

    • @TheDIYScienceGuy
      @TheDIYScienceGuy  Год назад +1

      I think the temperature of the panel (not higher than 30c) is not hot enough to be useful for a peltier or a sterling engine. And the water doesn't drop because it is a closed loop. But good thinking! 👍

    • @daniellapain1576
      @daniellapain1576 Год назад

      @@TheDIYScienceGuy well the Stirling would still work at that temperature but it's cold side would have to be in the building or something because it works through temperature difference. It starts working depending on the efficiency of the design at a 2 degrees C positive and 2 degrees C negative difference per side which means during summer it would work and winter it would work but it would be awful during evened out temperatures.

    Nice work. If the unit will not be used at mains water pressure, perhaps you can dispense with the copper pipe and use the silicone to seal the tube made from the two halves of aluminium? Connecting pipes will be required that can be made the same way. This eliminates thermal transfer resistance between pipe and plates.
    Perhaps you can just use two sheets of aluminium with spacers and sealing at the edges and bypass the piping aspect altogether?
    Another thought is if its possible to heat both sides at once with insulated sheets as reflectors? \
    There there is the option of a linear parabolic dish focused on the pipe.
    You guys really started the creative juices going!

    Вот на вскидку несколько ошибок:
    1.Алюминий с медью образуют гальвано пару, не зависимо от наличия электролита.
    2. узкая трубка с большим количеством поворотов создаст хгачительное сопротивление для движения воды.
    3. поверхность пластин без чернения будет отражать значительную часть энергии в космос.
    4. большая часть тепла не будет передаваться на трубку из-за малой площади соприкосновения с пластинами. Часть площади просто не будет передавать тепло на трубку.
    Самое главное, что все эти проблемы устранимы, достаточно просчитать по фоомулам.

    hi how exactly this provide electricity?
    looks way different than any solar panels yet so simple
    Isn’t it reflecting lot of the sun?
    Why it doesn’t have that black material?
    What is the physics behind this?

      It produces hot water.

    Impressive attention to detail. Why bother with so many small segments though? Seems like it would have been way easier to use a full sheet along the front or back and only small channels to clamp the copper tubing

    • @TheDIYScienceGuy
      @TheDIYScienceGuy  3 года назад

      Thanks! A full sheet will warp when it heats up, so small segments break the tension.

      Thinking about this overnight:
      As aluminium and copper are such a good conductors, I think that that good contact every few inches would have been sufficient.
      However my big concern is the length of the pipe. I can agree on the turbulent flow bit, but I think that you need large diameter side rails to carry the water in and out. That long pipe is going to severely restrict flow. The optimum design of solar collectors has been decided for years now.

    • @TheDIYScienceGuy
      @TheDIYScienceGuy  4 года назад

      The points of contact would be the size of a needle points, this is also a big issue with normal heat sinks and that is why they use heat conducting past. It's indeed a long pipe but the calculations tell us that it will work. We will see if the theory holds up. 😉 Thanks for thinking along! 👍

    What style of coil is more efficient in absorbing heat, a continuous single loop as you have made, or multiple parallel tubes connected to manifolds on top and bottom?

    Excellent build. With solar panel prices what they are why not just heat with electricity? With (8) 275 rated panels 4s2p , a disconnect and a 2000w 120vac water tank element ( in the lower tank position) you have a safe self regulating water heating system with no worries about leaks ,freezing etc. Over temp is controlled by a proper thermal DC switch.

      Thanks! Yes that would be a simpler system but you need much more surface area to get the same amount of power.

    You want rigid and water-tight? Weld it...it'd be less effort than what you did. You're very clever ! I'm sure you could design and build a roller-jig to impress the copper-pipe groove just by turning a wheel that rolls the sheet aluminum through. At some point your time becomes more valuable than material or accomplishment.

      I thought you meant how I sealed the joints of the aluminum housing. Indeed the bending is not very DIY but you can always pay someone to do that for you.

    Looks good. I wonder why you didn't lay the copper pipe transversely across the unit.

  • @Lil-Bear82

    Have you heard of using black !/2" pipe coils in a wooden box covered in glass? Paint the wood black on the inside and build high enough that you can get 3 or 4 coils inside the box. works very well and very cheap. Get much better results than this rig will. Just an observation.
