The fight against waste and saving energy with your hands

Energy saving is extremely important in a world where people mindlessly Deplete the planet, consuming natural resources and not giving anything in return. We are accustomed to the "comforts of home" that cost energy, and are ready to come up with a lot of justifications in order to maintain the status quo. However, any of us is able to reduce power consumption, we need only to think a little and take minimal effort.

Plastic bottles and hot tap water — two of the usual blessings, causing huge environmental damage. To heat the water is burned millions of tons of fossil fuels, and the used bottles of plastic are able for centuries to pollute the nature. A simple homemade solar water heater will help to solve everyday problems and reduce the burden on the environment.

Homemade water heater will be a real boon in situations where the "blessings of civilization" are not available, such as a summer cottage. Also, having worked hands only a few minutes, you can permanently reduce utility costs.

To make a simple water heater will need a large plastic bottle and some black paint or black cloth and sunlight. To improve the performance of a homemade hot water system will foil, mirror and radiator. And so — proceed.

1. Use a plastic bottle suitable volume. Widespread 5-6 litre capacity, but maybe the heater is out of the bottle 2-3 liters will show better efficiency.



2. Paint the bottle black. Properties and characteristics of the paint not of fundamental importance, the main thing is to stay on the surface of a plastic bottle. Use a brush or spray can, spray gun or piece of foam — whatever is available. After painting, wait a while until the paint dries.

Black color, as we know from school physics course, contributes to more complete absorption of falling on a bottle of light energy, and hence improves the performance of the heater.

If there is no paint, you can use black fabric, attach it to the bottle with tape, a rubber band or using a thread and needle.



3. Completely under the neck of the fill is painted in black colour bottle with water and put into the open sunlight place.



In principle, everything. The heater started to work, to a few hours to provide enough water for hygiene or washing dishes.

The bottle is preferably set in a sheltered place. Additional light can be directed using household foil or mirrors, are placed in a suitable place.

If he came to the country by car — the bottle can be left in a closed cabin. Remember how hot it gets in the car, even if you hide it in the shadows? Why not gather some heat "for business use"?

I think the heater from the plastic bottle can be used only in the summer? Wrong, the sun's rays are quite capable of heat water and winter, through window glass. But if the court of a cloudy day, just put the bottle near the radiator.



As you can see from the video, the idea to develop and manufacture a complete powerful heating system.
