      @Eric-b8i9c 24 дні тому

      In the instructions, you have the option to add a sheet of PVC. But the styrofoam is unaffected by weather as it has a foil layer and it's not in the sun.

    Very nice job. I'm going to do something like this, but could you tell me what do you do with the hot air during summer? Basically construction is for heating home at wintertime, but at spring and especially summer you have excess heat, are you using it for something or just vent it outside? if, yes so you need any extra valve for releasing excess air.

    Not sure why you didn't just flip the dull blade around? Cool idea but, I might want to find something a little more food safe. I am allergic to latex rubber (bike tire). It's nice that the seal will also help keep the top container in place. You have me thinking!

  • @marceld6061
    @marceld6061 2 місяці тому

    I have heard that you use those thick washers when flushing the filter. Thread it on the filter output, turn upside down and hold it against your kitchen faucet spout (or the garden hose spigot). Let it run for about 30 seconds or until the loose carbon stops coming out. Flush once more, then install into your pot. The washer basically seals against the outside of the filter outlet and the edge of the hose spigot. Others the water just runs all over.

    I am wondering why your air intake (cooler air) is at the top, a short distance from the exhaust fan, rather than at the bottom of the panel? How do you understand the air movement within the panel? The construction of the panel is great.

    Gravity Filters Gravity / Ceramic cartridge filters are designed to remove certain pathogens from perfectly clear water such a mountain stream. If there is any silt in the water they will plug up and not allow water to flow through. You can scrub the cartridge, but soon you will reduce the thickness of the media and then it will not remove all of the pathogens. YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST PRE-FILTER THE WATER UNTIL IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR. This can be done by a combination of settling, flocculation, sand filtering, and/or common cartridge type sediment filters that are easily available. If you don't believe this, take out all but one of your ceramic cartridges, plug the other holes, add some dirty water like what you will have to use during a crisis, see how much water you can run through it before it plugs up your ceramic cartridge. You will ruin one cartridge but you will know the truth! Another issue: if there is water in a ceramic cartridge, even a little, and that cartridge is allowed to freeze, a fine crack can occur that will allow pathogens through. You may not know it as you cannot see the crack. NEVER ALLOW YOU CARTRIDGES TO FREEZE!

      It can if you over fill it. I simply add 3 gallons at a time and I never overfill it. The spigot level indicator lets me know how much is in the bottom reservoir so when it’s all the way down, you can add 4 gallons and never worry about.

    I dig the concept. IMHO a few diagrams would make the construction easier to follow than repeatedly using terms like “short side top back” etc. I’m not trying to be overly critical. I appreciate the tips in building the project but sometimes I find too many details can be more confusing than a simple explanation of a concept along with the general construction and materials used. That said, it’s a great idea. Thanks for posting your project.

      Hey I appreciate ya! And yes, I thought about the terms I used in my explanations and "short side and top back" etc. were used to not confuse. I also try to teach to my verbal learners as well as my visual learners by providing both. Thanks for you comments. I hope you build yours soon!

      @@DIYPrimitive I’m not ready to build one yet…I’m still living in Florida. I’m gathering ideas for when I move to the high desert. Hoping to take advantage of as much passive solar as possible. In addition to other heat sources, I’m thinking a device like this one could be used to move hot air and circulate it through some kind of thermal mass under my bed. Charge the mass in the daytime and let it radiate to keep me toasty at night. So many years of Florida weather has turned me into a hot-house flower. I’m looking forward to getting out of the hot, humid swamp and into the mountains. I just need to mitigate the shock until I can build a tolerance to cold weather. I think my cat would appreciate a nice warm bed every night too.
