Cheap home cooling with this simple setup - And energy efficient
How did I cool our house from 30ºC to 25ºC in 1 day for just 14p?
And with just a few simple items common in most homes.
I take you around my home with a thermal imaging camera to see how this works and how you can set it up yourself.
Please consider sharing this content if you believe others could benefit, thank you.
As mentioned in the video, other forms of cooling may be more suitable for your needs; this setup humidifies the air in the house to exchange hot air from downstairs for cold humidified air upstairs.
Please bear in mind that towels continuously soaked with old stagnant water may present health issues, where fresh water should always be used; this is similar to and based on drying...

Solar Powered CNC - Motor Heatsink fabrication
Просмотров 9282 года назад
Making a bespoke motor heatsink on my home converted Solar Powered CNC mill to be part of the spindle drive. This heatsink will enable me to fit a 1800W brushless DC motor to my ageing mill that has been operating for over 12 years on a 150W standard 240V motor and nylon gears. The installation of this will also see a HTD type timing belt instead of the gears, greater speeds and torque, plus ha...

It's here, a solar pool heater created from all of your comments (Thank You), and it's a good one, well, as far as I know... The UK summer stretched over a full 2 weeks it seemed, up to when I completed this panel. But, despite this, the new version 2 solar pool heater did better than I expected, reaching an average of 500W in one day, that's 4kWh over an 8 hour period, plus hit a peak of 640W ...

    Personally for me the cost and efficiency are key since it really adds up every day. 😊 I use a 10 gal. container with an electric submersible heater and two small submersible pumps (out of pool & back to the pool from the 10 gal. container. It works well and fairly quickly for our needs just a small 10 ft round Intex pool. The water being pumped back to the pool is about 130 F (55 C). Total cost US$ 65 plus whatever electricity will cost.

    people if you want to build one of these you can use far less copper, I use an old thermal solar panel to heat my hot tubs. it uses parallel rows of 3/4" copper spaces about 4-5" apart all connected to a 3/4" manifold pipe at the small ends. Works incredibly well. In colorado (sunny) if water is not moving it will boil off all the water inside it of the water is not circulated for around 5 minutes (many variables but it gives you an idea). The sun "insolation" value is approx 1000 watts/m2 , direct solar thermal can convert almost all of that...vs photovoltaic panels at approx 20% efficiency....BUT if you run a heat pump with that operating at a COP of 3-5x.... it's kind of a wash.... One might also have to build an automated control system to shade the thermal panel when you have reached a target temp to avoid stressing the water panel ...can't just stop the pump as the water will boil off and then the panel temp gets very hot...lots of stress from thermal expansion etc..... of course freezing climates are an issue ... there are ways around it but DIY PV is at it's cheapest right now by a far bit. Use a bit of each system I say!

  • @Someone-to1sb

    I built my home pool heater a bit different. I used 1/4 (6mm) irrigation tubing. The feed is a 3/4 inch pipe run down the length of one sheet of plywood (8 feet). I made 33 connections into the side of the pipe to attach the tubing. The tubing sections are 17 feet (just over 4 meters) and were snaked back and forth to a 3/4" pipe on the opposite side as the outflow. I added a timed valve that allows flow every 10 minutes. The output peaks at 125 degs f (52C) and is about 3 gallons per cycle. If I cycle it through continously into itself it quickly gets to be scaldingly hot..hence I do not do that nor do I allow the water to sit without circulation for more than 15 minutes.

    Hi Neil, I have the exact issue you had, the dishwasher would trip the circuit breaker and the water wouldn't get warm anymore. However I got the E04, before I start disassembly I thought I'd ask, I've seen other videos saying a relay could be an issue on the controller. Is the controller next to the pump or on the door of the dishwasher? I don't have a multimeter so would it be fair to say if the relay on the controller looks fine, the issue would be the heat pump? The machine runs ok and the water level if good.

    Very few of these lights are correct and legit for a WWII Jeep, however. There's only one red (normal) tail light/brake light and it should be on the driver side. The blackout drive light on the fender is the only one that operates properly. The blackout marker lights below the headlights should only glow two with dim pinpoints of light per lamp assembly. I realize these accommodations are probably to make the Jeep street legal.

  • @kgrimsley2

    Don't cover the collector. It's a myth! For pool collectors where the pool water is about the same or typically lower than the roof temperature, such glazing insulation will actually prevent warm roof air from transferring to the pipes, but secondly about 10-15% of sunlight is reflected back into space by the surface of any glazing material. So you lose that much straight off the bat and then there are the potential overheating issues. Keep it simple don't glaze it, you'll get a better result.

    Nice video filled with good tips & trix. I'm setting up a solar powered pool heater right now and my goal is 30°C / 86°F in the pool. I'm starting with 250 meters / 820 feet of 20 mm / ¾ inch PEM hose in a flat rooftop setup. A 20V rainwater barrel pump (2,000 liters - 528 gallons / hour) will be connected directly to a solar panel, so it's a completely automatic system controlled and powered by the sun. No sun = no pump = no heating. Since I'm located at 60° latitude in the northern hemisphere, I'll guess it'll be some problems and math to solve along the way, but it'll be fun. Keep up your good work

    Bosch made sure that even if you manage to remove the blue heating element, it's not possible to put it back in. The seal around it is submillimeter precision - it's just not possible to get the angle right for it to fit back in. You will have to buy a whole new pump.

    ...and another thanks from me too. Saved £100's. Went to the same website, but only paid £86 (inc P&P). Refitting is a little fiddly. Found it best to remove all three internal trays and incline the dishwasher at around 45 degrees and then position the pump by 'feel' - went in almost immediately. The power cable has a socket, which is part of the circuit board. As you slide the circuit board upwards, the power socket slides up too, in a locator slide. Upon re-assembly, locate the circuit board so that the power socket locates within this slider and slide it downwards. Thanks again.

  • @KipIngram
    @KipIngram 3 месяца назад

    So, what were the dimensions of your collector? And your 500W power - was that power into the outflow water? I'm very interested in this - I've been thinking about making one myself and "overall efficiency" is something I'm not well calibrated on. My situation is kind of hard - I have a 19,000 gallon pool, and nothing I can reasonably build is going to heat that very fast. So I'm gathering data on how much heat my pool loses on the average night - my only real hope is that I can make SOME GAIN during the day and then not lose it all overnight, so that I can gradually build up to my target temperature. I've got a little Bluetooth temperature monitor submerged out there right now, and my daughter just headed back to college post-spring-break, so I just turned off the heater. First cool-down data coming soon.

  • @KipIngram
    @KipIngram 3 месяца назад

    Yeah, I've thought some about this, and in every way except pump power it seems that the faster you can move the water through the better. You're getting a fixed amount of energy into your collector, and you want it OUT into your water as fast as possible - doing it slower means more temperature rise in the collector and that means more loss to the outside.

  • @KipIngram
    @KipIngram 3 месяца назад

    What would be "ideal" would be to solder or braze the tubing down to the aluminum along its entire length, but wow, that would be quite a job with 75m of tubing. You used a lot of tape, though, so that's probably pretty good.

  • @KipIngram
    @KipIngram 3 месяца назад

    Again, smaller tubing doesn't change the heating capacity. That's set by the area of the collector. Smaller tubing puts more water close to the metal. Again, it's about getting the resistance between where the heat is first collected to the water (the "average" water) as low as possible.

  • @KipIngram
    @KipIngram 3 месяца назад

    The point of the aluminum is actually to provide a fast metal heat conduction path from everywhere the sun strikes to the pipe - to the WATER, which is where you want to get it to. You would still capture just as much sunlight without it, but if you just painted the wood black it would move much more slowly toward the water and you'd lose more of it to the outside. You're making the thermal resistance from "everywhere" to "water" as low as you can make it with the aluminum.
