hi marcel i am doing solar concentrator project and foumd something called pyreliophorus by father himalaya(1904), it was supposedly ancient devices capable of burning anything, i wonder is that early CPC type with slight parabolic? tell me what dou think
I hear what you are saying, but this is just a prototype to compare different test, not to be a final product. I am preparing though version 2.0 which will be 150 cm (5') long and a diameter of 100 mm (4") which will be mounted outside and upside down, taking the air through the wall from the inside and release the hot air also through the wall to the inside. Just waiting for the materials I have ordered. Thanks for your comment.
@@marcelthomassen3152 when going from the heater through the wall you may want to build a secondary housing at a larger diameter than your standard output, and seal the housing around the output and pull a vacuum on it to insulate the output on it's way to, and through the wall into the building. might be easier to use more 2" abs cut to match the curve of the elbow and plastic welded to it. plastic welders can be found at harbor freight... don't know why i have not seen them anywhere else.
@@marcelthomassen3152 then again.. you might be trying to take air from inside the room out to the heater and then back so your outer wall would need to be larger yet to accommodate the airflow and a vacuum chamber to insulate it. just some thoughts.. you may have already come up with them.
@@af0ulwind115 Yes, I’ve been there done that. I’ve done MANY tests in the past with 6’ tubes (2 3/8” diameter), I even put 3 tubes in series and got REALLY hot air but far too much resistance for a quiet air pump that does not use a lot of hydro, for that the new 4” tube. All the things you can even come up with I have already done, I know how to execute version 2.0
good content thanks
hello, can you post the link to the plans? thx

Sir, what type of reflective material is used?
It is a self adhesive mirror film that I bought on eBay years ago. It reflects 95% of the light.
Thank you sir for the reply
now put your air outlet down low... to maximise the volume of air you heat and minimize your heat loss through the ceiling

@@marcelthomassen3152 I hope we get to see v2.0 Thank you for sharing.
