Solar hot water

This article outlines the steps to construct a DIY solar thermal water heater using copper pipes that can quickly generate hot water. The homemade water heater can produce hot water at a temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, even when the air temperature is in the range of hi

Building a Parabolic Solar Hot-Water Heater Using 123D: For this project I set out to create the solar equivalent of the hot-water tap on a coffee machine: a solar on-demand hot-water heater. I was inspired by the functionality of a new software called 123D-Make that makes it easy to buil…

Cheap Solar Hot Tub/spa/pool Water Heater: This instructable covers the solar heater I made from parts available at the local hardware store (or salvage) for cheap. I have yet to do true empirical measurements on its output/efficiency, but it will raise the temp of my hot tub (~460gal) from…

You wouldn't guess that in the tropics having hot water was so desirable, but at our elevation, it gets quite chilly for me in the evenings. During the rainy season the nights can get particularly cold and if you've been in the rain working, a rejuvenating warm shower is just the ticket! Over the

The TURBOMAX series represents the ideal solution for domestic hot water needs in residential, commercial and institutional applications. Patented technology produces instantaneous hot water at an efficiency rate of over 99% and helps to reduce the accumulation of scale deposits that diminish the efficiency of traditional water heaters. Plus, TURBOMAX allows you the flexibility to choose the energy source that is the most economical: natural gas, propane,

Solar hot water systems are designed to transfer the sun's solar energy to water. Finding the most efficient and effective solar hot water system for a given situation can be a challenging task. There are a number of key factors that need to be considered when choosing the most appropriate system configuration. These factors include, to a large extent, amount of solar insolation, climate, construction, installation and materials costs, location and accessibility of the system, amount of…
