Solar pop can heater

 This is the heater I built before heading south.
 144 black pop cans in a box the size of a sliding glass door
 Air going in at 60 out at 127 degrees. Not bad for Nov 1 in Washington
 190 degrees in the top if the box.
Fan clicks on at 100 degrees and is powered by a small solar panel.

 lake Shasta was really low when we went thru.

 The pools at night, geothermal heated.
 Three days of driving in the rain. Not fun.
 Wind and solar in one spot.
 The duck pond by the pool.
 Cooking a whole chicken with the sun.
 Wind mill farms in the valley.
