Really, the English spelling of Aluminium is different to the American spelling of Aluminum. Notice the missing ‘i’ in the American spelling.
It is not just a case of mis-pronunciation, but they can’t spell either
I have full …
I have full instructions on how to build very cheap solar panel and wind mill for home. FULL step-by-step guide.
aluminum ? I dont …
aluminum ? I dont reckon so, have you ever pulled something out of the oven thats wrapped in foil ( aluminum foil )? its cool to the touch and doesnt hold much heat. Copper does
I like it! I’ve …
I like it! I’ve built on for myself in 2006, but I learned 1″ pipe or larger allows for thermal flow, also attach all vertical pipes at the top and bottom. Feed cold water into the bottom and draw hot from the top, It you place this panel at the same height of the water tank gravity will do all the work. Either way this panel will produce a lot of heat, in it’s life time. Be sure to paint the entire box to protect it from the elements or it will only last a year or two. Fantastic job!

but didn’t the guy say this was going directly into his water heater?
Why not just use …
Why not just use black plastic it is cheap and works as excellent also when it freezes in the winter it wont burst as simple when you forget to drain it, when the temp. gets below 32 degrees.
As a point of …
As a point of linguistic history: mid-Appalachian dwellers pronounce words closer to the original modern English than anyone, including the English themselves, which developed the current accent only after America was settled.

alum. tubing is …
alum. tubing is better at conducting heat..if you can find it…should be much cheaper than copper…you can bend into a heating element..place a black piece of sheet aluminum over it instead of fins…use ancient acustic cieling (fiberglass) tiles to insulate your box..buy aluminum bubble insulation on top of your insulation, place tubing in box..use zip ties to fasten to the bottom of the box, place sheet metal on top of tubing, then glass on top of box…
so was that like …
so was that like ablock party kind of thing?? evryone got together and built 5 units assembly line style???
I’d reckon you want more pipes inside the box to hold more water.
Looks like a solid design thoigh.
thankx
use double sticky …
use double sticky foam carpet tape around the edges , between the glass and the box.. makes a nice gasket..
fantastic thought for your …
fantastic thought for your box is to use metal studs…or 2×8s…just cut slots at the desired lengths and bend …simple and they look manufactured..thats how i built my cola can heater…
stupid yank it our …
stupid yank it our language that you use. its you that change the pronunciation.

plastic wouldnt conduct heat, it would act as an insulater. regards jim.

he says in the video we will spray the panel black later. regards jim.
Not right- water …
Not right- water inside a black plastic pipe will get very hot.
That’s one reason not to leave water lines above ground.
Stupid Brit. Its …
Stupid Brit. Its NOT Aluminium…It is Aluminum.
Silicone sealant to …
Silicone sealant to place the fins sounds like a terrible thought to me, would rather be a hindrance to heat transfer. Would certainly be better by soldering on copper fins and using a bit more lengths of copper – otherwise nice job, every small bit helps!
