neat! benn planning on doing one of those for my garage window as a test- got more details

the way it is set up now the glass is just sitting on it so i am losing alot of heat out the top. It still will maintain 150 degrees with the fan on.

hey varmint- where are ya?

his multiple pipes collect more heated air because of the multibaffled system- the air moves over more surface are than just a plan glass covered box.
even a glass box needs some diverters to slow the air enough to pick up heat- otherwise its just cold air in and "cool air out"
especially if it has a fan/thermostat.

the link above will show you better than i can tell you.If you live where you get alot of sun these will heat your whole house. I will only get about 4 hours of sun a day, but that is 4 hours i won't have to use electric heat.
