So I was at home today cause my work is slow and I watched a lot of Youtube videos. Anyone here ever make a solar hot air collector out of aluminum cans? Basically you build an insulated frame, cut the top and bottom out of cans, paint them black and install them in the frame connected end to end with headers top and bottom. You have an intake and discharge hose running into to your home.
