How To Make an Aluminum Can Solar Air Furnace: Part 1/4
Learn the basics to building a lasting, efficient, aluminum can-solar air furnace, step by step. This short video series takes you from establishing a proper frame size to various methods of 'finishing' your furnace for both aesthetic and weather proofing purposes.
The total cost of this project was about $30.00. The beer cans are recycled, the glass is salvaged from an old solarium, the aluminum cladding , insulation, and the lumber used for the frame work is all salvaged material from a construction site., and the DC fan is salvaged from an old pc. Spray paint and high heat adhesive/tape were the only materials purchased; a complete material list is available in the video.
A solar air furnace is a great way to contribute to the thermal mass in any home, providing the sun is shining and the furnace(s) is facing it, and this video is a great tutorial to show both skilled DIYers as well as beginners, how to accomplish it; tho a word of caution to those with little to no experience with power tools - seek the aid of an expert. Of course, creative thinking could also open a door for 'substitutes' to power tools ;)
