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:
Yes, but unlike solar, you must pollute the air with smoke and use trees to burn! Not better by any measure!!
It takes energy to build solar panels.
And or any materials used in the process.
MikeDenise would like this
I really hope this was a joke or prank………
You want an endless supply of hot water go to a lake, get water, start heating with fire, no need to go through the long process here because either way, you still need fuel so the fire stays lit, this would be much better if he would have used solar power…
And if using solar power and there is no sun shine the day you want hot water….? The nature of solar power is that it is intermittent. With solar you need two sources. This is designed for off grid, back-up hot water on demand. Solar will NOT do for this application.
somebody’s makin’ shine
Another good use for copper tubing!
No water pressure in, no water pressure out. He made hot water, but how does he get it from the tank?
There is this really cool thing called gravity. You should check it out sometime.

I still want to know… If there is no water pressure in to the bottom of the tank, then there is no pressure out the top. How do you get the hot water out in order to use it? Being a closed system, how do you get water in, in the first place? If I have to keep hooking up, and unhooking lines to get water in, and out, how is this easier than just boiling a pot of water?
He made it a closed system for demo purposes. It’d be an open system: Cold supply pumping out hot into tank.
