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:
I wonder what size one might use to heat a pool…
Ray Zentz, I can see you making one of these… And if you do, make one for me while you’re at it. 😉
I have looked at it, Lane.
The Law of Entropy
Your better off with a wood stove with a heat loop in it like years past which also heated your house a bit and cooked food too.
You can actually do this in your own home with the furnace flu pipe you have now. USE EXTREME EXTREME EXTREME CAUTION when doing this.
Ill stick to burning clean and reliable natural gas. I am not that poor yet. Good idea though for a survival tactic
Over 100 year old tecknology . I have My Grandparents old Water heater made just like a Cast iron pot belly heater to heat You’r house except it has a 1 in. Pipe coiled around the inside . hook up just like this .

Didn’t we move to coal because burning wood was neither efficient nor sustainable?
