It could be improved by making the top easier to take off so the wood or gas-fired option would take less work to engage, but the idea is sound. The water was warm even though the day was overcast.
What is inside the barrel that makes the water flow out?
You should never forget that every creature has its purpose in the cycle of nature and can also be very important to humans. Sepp Holzer's Permaculture
I like it. A LOT. There should be a way to control the wood fire (small J tube rocket maybe) so you don't need to remove the solar collector.

Hey David,
Thanks for the video. I may have to pay Pak Alit a visit... Am living in East Bali since 2010 and had never heard of that place!
I'm using a commercial solar water heater system with vacuum tubes and a rooftop water tank here and it's way too hot for this seaside climate. Water boils on hot afternoons and you gotta watch out for burns when opening the taps.
Yup, yup, yup. Tiny ad:
