Morten, after thinking about how much North we live you need a frame for you pallet, you can adjust to the sun direction. I saw the back of the pallet, were it can be easy to fit a horizontal pole through, for tilt. You only need a rotation point to fit on this pole in the middle to rotate it ease to west during the day, and something to fixed it, you don't want a gust of wind to run it in an unwanted position. Lets go. I wish I lived closer to help you out.

You need a t-shirt: "Awesome" on the front and perhaps "ugly side" on the back 😉

Looks good, well done

Man you are close! 27 ° C is perfect! Full greenhouse is essential. since tubing has circular cross section you could just lay clear sheet on top with limited conductive heat loss , but even better to give little more air gap. seal the sides up good and silicone in the back foam - whole thing air tight as possible. re: pump i say bite the bullet and buy another small solar panel (at a fair price this time!) and couple it with the existing small panel.

Hello again Love your Videos One of your viewer from New Zealand

Place it in the box with the glass window. It will work.

👍super

The foam, you should of inserted them the other way, you have the reflective / smooth side facing the sun, you would be better having the rough and none reflective side facing the sun.
-
If (when) the foam starts breaking down in the sun, you can probably protect it quite well with just a bit of black spray paint.

50W, more like 8W if you're lucky. I fell for the same scam (but had a suspicion about it's claims of efficiency before I hit check out.)

Fully enclose the solar heater, with the internal being coloured either black reflective. The sides need to be slightly taller so to create an air gap above/in-front of the the pipe loop the front which faces the sun needs to be a transparent polycarbonate cover. This will make a mini greenhouse with the solar heat loop inside this will greatly improve the heat output.

You could make a circuit using a 555 and LDR. You would only want it to turn on when the LDR gets enough light. The 555 would control the pump, so that it's not pushing all the water through and stops to give it some time to heat up. You should also enclose it which would heat the air up inside making the performance better. I thought of doing one where the water coil is in the frame of a solar panel as they get hot, so doing two jobs. And it's all framed for you as a single unit, panel pumps and heating at the same time. Interestingly, would having solar to electrical heating work better?

ye that solar pannel looks more like 20 watts

First!....HeHEHE! Have a great day!

10:36 the pump the right way around would help hehe nvm: by the magic of editing its suddenly fixed Edit: but i was always thinking something similar when i were still living with my parents, could i use the pool for the watercooling of my pc? but the pips should be realy long
