I'm not an expert at this. I got all my info from youtube. My guess is that the thin aluminum would be better, it would absorb and release the heat quicker than thicker aluminum would. This is just my guess so i could be wrong. Coors Light beer cans (not sure about their regular beer cans) are almost twice as tall as pop cans too...Dan Grubbs wrote:There's a particular tea product out on the market that uses taller cans, but also thicker aluminum in their cans. I'm constructing my can heater out of these, but I guess I just assumed a thicker aluminum would be better in this case. Is that a correct assumption?
Yes block it off or you can get vents that automatically close when the fan is off to prevent heat from leaving the house.james beam wrote:Nice efficient set-up you have Eddie. I found your results very interesting.
Is it good practice to block off the intake & exh ports to prevent night time heat loss from the room to the solar panel?
Because your sealing can upon can, do you think that the many baffles created by the ends of the cans connecting, better collect heat, than if it was a simple 6' long non-baffled tubes were used?

The only testing i've done so far is in my original comments. I have not yet tested it in cold weather but from what i've seen and read on the internet, there won't be much difference in the heat that it puts out in the winter as what it's putting out now. It works from the sun's light not the sun's heat so it will still be putting out nice temperatures hopefully.allen lumley wrote:Eddie Roberts : If you have had chance to spend a little time with this can you give us your immediate impressions !
One good source of plans is through Instructables.com ! What was your source of plans ?! Big AL
