  Solar heating using Aluminum Cans  - this was an entry for a contest based on a personal study/project.   This project aims to repurpose recyclable 250ml aluminum cans to create a solar heater for home, cottage, shelter, cabin, garage etc. I am using the Aluminum's thermal conductivity properties which heats or cools relatively fast depending on the application. For this project I make use of the Aluminum's heating property due to absorbing heat from the sun which will heat the air once circulates inside the cans. The cans are connected in vertical columns using 3d printed connectors as explained below. Materials needed: - 250ml aluminum cans with the top and bottom parts cut and removed; - printed connectors, printed elbows and Tees, printed wall-through connectors, ventilator spout and…
