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:
cool
Fire. Not exactly revolutionary….. BUT, it’s cool how he rigged that up and got it to work well.
Do you want me to pick this apart? He calls himself an engineer? Far from it. I have an antique water heater like that nothing new and so far from efficient. and it pollutes and who wants to and can afford to sit around and feed wood to the water heater to take a bath. not to mention how dangerous it is
The best part is we can adapt this to use a big parabolic mirror or the exhaust from your fridge.
Fail.
Well im a lazy sumabitch. Im just gonna let the furnace do what i payed for.
Good luck taking a shower
Old Science and ya gotta keep the fire going!
Forgotten and takes up lot of time to recover.
Have seen similar design but better. With a good sense of engineering & well plan ahead for the fire to burn. Others put rocks as radiant heating to disperse.
Steam is invisible. What you see is water vapor.
And by the time you have enough water to do anything with its all cooled down in the tank. Just heat up a large pot with the fire.
