ββ As an extra, i've included a side-by-side with my "5 gallon bucket" air cooler (mainly because it looks very similar). note that each unit is made very differently though. you just add ice to that unit, and it blows cool air.

I did a cooler like this for my chickens when we lived in Texas. Used frozen 1 gallon jugs, rotated then every day. I had a 15 watt solar panel on the coop roof to power the fan

1. How long was the can in the oven and at what temp.
2. how many hours did you get in heat with this experiment? -
Might be worth building a rocket stove outside and heating cans on that and rotating them. Lots of variables here but thanks for the ideas you come up with.

I been using a sand battery for a couple of years now mine are a little larger. After we finish canning for the year the pressure canner gets a new task. The biggest thing I have learned is to add water to the sand the air space in the sand battery waste a lot of time heating up the entire mass. As the water starts to evaporate the air gaps in the top few inches slows down the heat loss for a much longer lasting source of heat. Sizing matters just like solar panels and battery's.Great video.

This gives me an idea of making a dehydrator with it for some reason. Great options!
-
That's brilliant! I bet if you had holes in the bottom of the bucket and an elbow vent out the top, the thermal heat would create it's own flow from the bottom out the top, to eliminate the need for a fan or electricity.

With your great ideas, we're gonna make it through this. Thanks a million ππ₯β¬οΈ

Good job! Reminds me of a guy who made a very similar contraption filled with home made charcoal so his was an air filter. I could totally see the combination of both
-
Another great idea! You keep amazing me! Thanks for all these great ideas. I'd like to try this one too.
-
Really enjoy all of your ideas. They are very doable and useful. Thank you!

Dutch oven, construction sand (not silica sand).
Heat on a fire for a few hours.
Bring inside and it will radiate heat for a long time.
No fan or electric needed.
BUT you could use a wood stove fan (makes it's own electricity) to move air. -
Living in Phoenix, I could just put a couple of these outside and store energy. Brilliant
-
Excellent idea and work! Congratulations for your video!π
-
Genius. How do you come up with this stuff. You should write a book of your ideas/builds.
-
Thank you for this great idea. Can you tell me why the holes aren't all the same diameter?
-
Man, you are full of awesome ideas!
-
Well done sir! Awesome project.
-
To get the heater element to stay on do I need a lower volt?
-
Have an idea. Place magnets on the fan, with it closer to the copper. That'll interact with the copper, creating additional heat. Like they do heating water from a spinning magnetic plate against a copper pipe of water.

This would work great with a invective cook pot convection hot plate. The good thing about that once the heat absorption of the sand started to max out for the thermostat on the hot plate it will automatically shut of. But the cooling fan would run long as the pot was hot. Still be a safe way to heat and very good energy exchange for electric power. π π
