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:
The principle that is important here is not that you can boil water with fire. The cool thing he is trying to convey is that you can circulate the hot water through the heater without a pump using heat convection. Some solar water heaters use the same principle. All he has is a coil of tubing exposed to heat that is hooked up to the top and bottom of the water heater tank and when the coil is heated the water will naturally flow from the bottom of the tank to the top with no pump.
So you’re saying hot water rises? oh boy.
Done this before and it works.
why not just elevate the tank, line the bottom with sheet metal & put the fire underneath the tank?
doesnt take a genius .

Very interesting!
seems safer to use solar electric or solar thermal than to use fire. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire… and people…
BigAl Willis you will use a lot less wood with the coil. You will have a very large fire under the water heater
Are you guys sirous my family in mexico be doing this all day everyday to shower this aint no new invention its allready invented!
