This video details how to make a super-efficient water heater thermo siphoning process. Not only are all the parts he uses cheap or free discards, the project does not need electricity or solar power.
To match this video you will need:
Copper Tubing
Stove Pipe
Water heater
Valves
And of course, water and something to burn.
See the process video after the break and then get started on your own source of endless hot water:
Take pictures of you falling. Lol
Handy to know
I D I O T !!!

“Good idea but poorly designed . The pressure relive valve should never be removed. The cold incoming and hot return from the stove should both have check valves installed and connect to a tee . Then the hot from the stove and lower line from the coil hooked at the tee.”

Yes the “Side arm” water heater was popular at one time and could be fired with wood, coal or what ever fuel you had. They are also the very reason why the pressure relief valve is “CODE” in all 50 states!!!!!!
If you are incapable of doing the engineering analysis to do this, don’t do it. This is not home owner plumbing, it is “Safety Of Life” Engineering. At the turn of the last century before the boiler codes were written the US killed 50,000 people a year in boiler explosions, that is more than we kill with cars today.
You can always use it as part of your “still”.
pretty sure that the idea of using solar power is to stop burning natural resources….obviously missing the point
so remove the pop off won’t that eliminate the problem of boiler explosion ?
