The Future is Now "Indoor Passive Solar Window Box Heaters"
These lightweight -
portable solar passive heating boxes and can create and push out temperatures of 96 °F into any room. The unit is designed to pull cool air fom the bottom of the unit.
The cool is pulled upward and over the heated aluminum cans - metal interior, and hot air is returned into the room by small solar fans through the top vents.
The days of large - costly - huge outdoor collectors are gone.
We need portable lightweight - efficient units that mount on the inside.
The unit is 32" Tall - 20" Wide - 4 " Depth.
It costs less than $60.00
to manufacturer each unit, and uses 4 small solar fans.
These units sit
flush on the inside window sill or bay window.
The manufacturing process for
these units is streamlined and repeatable.
Any comments or suggestions?
Please compare Outdoor solar collectors vs Indoor Passive Solar Window
Boxes.
Outdoor collectors or heater boxes are 6 feet in length. They consume an entire window.
Not to mention the eyesore appearance they give any yard or home.
We need alternative solar heating, this is one way to reduce your
monthly heating bills!
I live in the Northeast - these are the perfect winter
heating units!!!!!
I am using aluminum 12 oz cans painted flat black to generate the heat.
I have tried many different metals, and various types of tubing etc.
The aluminum cans heat up the fastest in direct and partial sun.
The cans are chimney stacked for quick heat rise.
I am seeking feedback on the materials and the various stacking designs.
"Active solar heating uses devices such as pumps, fans
and controls to move warmth around. Passive solar heating, on the other hand,
collects and distributes heat without any mechanical or electrical
devices."
"The internal fans are Solar, its still considered a passive solar
window box heating unit"
* Passive solar heating systems need five
components, according to the U.S. Department of Energy: a collector, absorber,
thermal mass, distribution and control
