Re: [papercreters] Re: On demand water heater

Very cool.  I FORGOT that I got two fresnels, haven't done anything with them yet.   Put them in storage in the garage because I was a bit worried about accidentally starting a fire.  

Now that it's wet and cold, we'll do some experimenting in the greenhouse.

Also, thanks to Eddie and to all for the tips and reminders of the cool stuff that can be done.

We filled two water tanks with water in the greenhouse today, dug up 2 sliding glass doors to replace the plastic on the south side and have a 3 door we can use to build the solar collector.  Also found the INSIDE of an old water heater (no idea whether it leaks), got the 3/8th copper and the fresnels, just have to set it all up now.

These are super simple to set up.

I see some DIY are making these - last page has pics:

Some pieces of fresnel would make this even better.

Back in to 90's I made a small thermosyphon solar water heater - much like this one:
