This panel can put out close to 100 watts ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.
amazing
More than wonderful work, you deserve a thousand likes, and I hope that the Arabic language will be added to the translation. I am from Egypt and I really enjoyed watching, thank you and we are always waiting for your new

Why not use copper plates and solder the plates to the tubes that should be more efficent.
Because copper is much more expensive and the efficiency would only be a small bit higher, because the water removes the heat so much faster out of the panel than it can radiate out of it.

This is old technology, we in the UK built these 4 mtr panels in 1972. Our panels were made of copper sheet and had 15 mm copper pipe soldered to the copper sheet. They worked very well under glass until the Thermomax tubes came along. These tubes are now very low price and provide all your hot water requirements !
Hello...
A year later, you'll need to remind yourself of this.
Question: If this was practiced in the seventies, and you remember it, did you read Papanek's Design For The Real World? This isn't in it, but is in a similar vein. I'm 59, UK resident and come yearly to Kerala. Love seeing how the people here sort problems. I'm curious as to what readers thought of his book at the time. I read it in the mid-eighties and still love it. If you never read it, sorry.
I applaud your intellect, craftsmanship and inventiveness, but your project is about as DIY as a moon landing.
Thanks! Well you can make the housing out of wood or plastic or just borrow the machines like I did. The rest is all DIY
Well the moon landings were pretty fking diy dickhead
Love that you emphasize the need of turbulent flow contra laminar flow. 👌
I was thinking of something like this to give me hot water for my workshop., water supplied by the rain, filtered and then heated and stored in a hot water tank for use. Very informative video, thanks for sharing.
Far more then is needed here in Southern New Mexico. Your machine would most likely work as a Flash Boiler.
Just a thought but when two different metals such as copper and aluminum are in direct contact it causes galvanic corrosion. You could use the thermal paste that goes between a cpu and its heatsink. If would increase your heat transfer and act as a dielectric preventing contact between the metalsm
@@merchantmareed It happens even dry. When I was a pipefitter we had to use dielectric couplings when attaching pipes of different metals on even on air lines.
@@merchantmareed So as long as your in a vacuum...as in outer space. But anywhere on earth it happens.
1 suggestion as i watch . Use better sealants. Maybe the self sealing butyl rubber for new home window flashing . That stuff stays soft in hot weather . High temperature RED engine sealants would work great also .
Good Lord bruw, use termoconductive paste in between the Allum and copper also don’t forget to sand both pipe and plate contact areas for maximum effect. Your welcome also thanks this is proof of concept on another idea that’s in the makings.🎉
That's a lot of work and materials that is unnecessary. But I'm glad I watched . As I am planning a new diy channel. I believe the insulation is a huge plus .
From Brazil américa do sul. Hello my brother!!! Porto Alegre.
Awesome. Can't wait for the continuation.
That groove jig is groovy. 🤣 forgive the cheesy joke. Awesome engineering
This is a passive heat collector? Nice!!!
Nice, im curious to see how it will perform
Very interesting, fantastic job. One thing though, how can I as DIY person myself do that without any of that industrial machinery?
You could make the housing out of wood, plastic, or just borrow one, like I did. Hope it helps!
Die grinder . I can do that lol 20 bucks harbor frieght?
I’ve subscribed to your UA-cam channel and all blessings from Ireland
What about just bolting on the side frame with some gaskets for easier building?
Excellent concept; execution and presentation.
You should consider checking out Tech Connections page.. he has a formula/method for creating a thermal paste for extremely cheap and it would conduct better than your silicon.
Yes I know that one, but found it to much work. It works great with silicone btw. Thanks for the info! 👍
wow, whenever i work on something like this.. it always ends up looking like a dogs breakfast... very nice work
that means you'd make a great politician!
My "projects" at home are proof of concept, and/or utilitarian. When I do work on a customers site, I do finish work. My wife saw a customers house after I was done adding new circuits for pin lights, wall outlets, etc. It was at that moment she realized I could do beautiful work, not just the perpetually unfinished construction zone style I had subjected her to for 20 years. She turned and gave me that look, the one that could strip the heat shielding off the space shuttle. I am caulking baseboards in the room additions as we speak.
You can buy heat conducting silicone that actually conducts heat better than heat sink compound.
If it gets hot enough, you can either use peltiers or Stirling engines to get a little electricity for the system and as long as you have a drop from height in the system you can also use a water turbine as well. It's not much electricity 10w but that's still enough to add extra charge to a system.
I think the temperature of the panel (not higher than 30c) is not hot enough to be useful for a peltier or a sterling engine. And the water doesn't drop because it is a closed loop. But good thinking! 👍
@@TheDIYScienceGuy well the Stirling would still work at that temperature but it's cold side would have to be in the building or something because it works through temperature difference. It starts working depending on the efficiency of the design at a 2 degrees C positive and 2 degrees C negative difference per side which means during summer it would work and winter it would work but it would be awful during evened out temperatures.
Yes, that's true. But even if it runs with such a small temperature difference, it doesn't produce much power. But it will be fun nonetheless! 😀
Interested in the calculating of laminar flow and turbulent flow, where did you guys find the information to calculate? And thanks for posting all these awesome videos! VERY COOL and informative. THANKS!
It's related to the Reynolds number.
www.omnicalculator.com/physics/reynolds-number
Impressive attention to detail. Why bother with so many small segments though? Seems like it would have been way easier to use a full sheet along the front or back and only small channels to clamp the copper tubing
Thanks! A full sheet will warp when it heats up, so small segments break the tension.
Thanks for you 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🌸🌸🌸from Morocco
Hello, i am from mexico, very good video
.. grappig....ik maakte ca. 40 jaar geleden ook zulke panelen......wel met een houten bak.....we hadden 4 bakken van 150x100cm ( als ik het mij goed herinner)....en maakte met een warmtewisselaar van koperen pijp in de zomer een vat van 1m3 water tot 65 graden. De boer waar we de (test) installatie voor bouwde kon z'n ogen niet geloven! Dit was begin 1980 en toen nog wat bijzonders......
Super easy huh! Yep, I’m sure everyone ha a brake press, guillotine and bender in their back yard, and thermal tanks to support what your actually making is solar water heating, ? and a lot of gibba Gabba, along with the cost of materials I’m sure all grandmothers will have this whipped up in their kitchens tonight !
چون پسر خوبی بودی درست گفتی چیکار کنیم تا پنل خورشیدی خوبی درست کنیم تمام جزئیاتشم گفتی دمت گرم خداازت رازی باشه
نمیدانم میتوانم این را خوب ترجمه کنم یا نه، گوگل آن را روشن نمیکند
Wow this is amazing
Thank you
Likewise!
Yup definitely looks easy too build just 👍
I yeah everyone have the equipment in the kitchen drawer:)
What, are you saying you don't have a brake press in the kitchen drawer?
Very good and skillful. Thank you
Happy Utility Independent’s day !!!
Very professional! How did you estimated total (absorbing) pipe length vs. surface area?
Thanks! I will ask my "accomplice" 😉 I'll get back to you.
Here you go, hope it helps! www.builditsolar.com/References/Calculators/FinEficCalc/FinEficCalc.htm
@@TheDIYScienceGuy For absorber I am thinking of two Cu 1x1m 0.4mm sheets, with some standoffs in between (to provide 4-5mm gap for water flow.
Nice!
Nice construction so far and unable to locate the 2nd vid to finish the construction as well as the test results.
Thanks! Here is the second part: ua-cam.com/video/jeKHMe0kVbI/v-deo.html
Is it nessecary to make the housing frame out of aluminium? Seems an expensive option if not required?
Super project👽👍
Very nice work.
forgive me for saying but did you consider leaving the copper tubing in a coil and just tightening it up. Would that have saved you doing all that bending
Maybe but it's a lot of work either way.
Thank you!
Nice work. Do you plan on spray painting the panels black to absorb more light and energy? *Edit* nevermind, just watched the second video lol.
Thanks! Have you seen the third one to: ua-cam.com/video/DIk2mcJ7NHs/v-deo.html thanks for watching!
Good night good news
Great video, bur isn't silicone a poor heat conductor? Are you sure that even a thin layer is better than an occasional air gap?
It makes it a bit beter yes.
Nice project! I was wondering about how you prevent corrosion of the metals. Copper in direct contact with aluminium corrodes. Is the silicone layer enough to prevent that?
Thanks! It only corrodes when there is an electrolite inbetween the 2 metals. Normal water is not inough and even that is not inthere.
Would it not be better to use steel or stainless. With ALUMINIUM you have built a heat sink to remove the heat .
No steel conducted heat very badly. The heat will be removed by the water as per design. Have you seen part 2: ua-cam.com/video/jeKHMe0kVbI/v-deo.html
And part 3: ua-cam.com/video/DIk2mcJ7NHs/v-deo.html enjoy!
Use roof steel panels which already have channels.
Thermonuclear heat transfer mastic may be an idea to ensure voids are filled maximizing heat xfer
Yes we thought about that but silicone was more convenient. But thanks for the suggestion! 👍
Sorry spellcheck substitution inserted “Thermonuclear” versus “Themon” which is very similar to silicone, but understand preference to silicone.
Press it again on the bulb 😉
Sorry, what do you mean?
Material used?
Aluminum, copper, PVC and polyurethane.
Looks good. I was wondering why you did not lay the copper pipe transversely across the unit.
Thanks! Because this is simpler and less risk that it is going to leak.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy I was thinking it would be simpler going across the unit - because there would be less bends to make in the copper pipe.
A sorry now I understand wat you mean. Translation 🤪. Would probably also have worked but you have more expansion problems with longer aluminum plates.
What kind of heat exchanger did you use on your AC unit? I re-purposed a mini-split AC to use raw seawater on my boat as heat exchanger, I noticed that little heat exchanger you had on this would come in handy to circulate through my hot water tank on the boat for hot water.. well you are wasting energy on the AC, it would be good to use it to heat the water tank also.
It's a plate heat exchanger. Nice project! Good luck with it!
You should make a little bit of oil in order the piece of metal slide easily
Yes but then I needed to remove the oil later for gluing, so that is why I diden't
Very good 👍

well equipped workshop....but how much dose it coast !!!???
I borrowed it from my friend so I can't tell, probably a lot! 😉
Is there a reason you excluded the part where this turns a passive solar water heater into 1600 Watts or shall we just chalk this one up as CLICKBAIT?
Realy, do you think that every one had such stuff and habilitate like you?
The machines are borrowed from my friend as I said in the video. The housing can also be made frome trespa glued together. Hope it helps.
Okey how many wats we can grow if we make this pannel whit big x 10 22/7
10 times as much
Legal muito bem feito, quanto gosta um painel assim?
Obrigado! €450 por painel.
tem jeitos de fazer mais barato...tipo, eu já vi gente usando latas de alumínio. eles tiram a tampa e a parte de baixo e conectam tudo. Claro, não fica tãaaaao eficiente, mas quebra um galho.
Shouldn't the Aluminum sheet metal be a mat black to absorb heat rather than shiny that reflect it?
Yes it should. I did that in the next video 🙂 :ua-cam.com/video/jeKHMe0kVbI/v-deo.html
@@TheDIYScienceGuy well why didn't you say so?
How much did this cost you totally ??? Thanks
€450,-
So it's a solar water heater and not a solar panel.. Misleading heading though. Well done with the design.
Thanks!
Best workers😃😊😋😎😍
I can't believe after breaking out that huge bench shear and bench break that they didn't heliarch the corners lots of people have gas wire welders nobody has a bench break like those ones this not do it yourself unless you are a sheet metal worker its good work just not do it yourself
You can make the housing out of wood, plastic or ask someone to bend the aluminum for you like I did. Hope it helps.
Can I Buy 2 please.
Trillions and trillions of dollars business in the world 1600wats 2024
Efficiency please?

Good job,,how do you 100watt mini solar video shar ?
Thanks! It's already out: ua-cam.com/video/dOo3ZALd6po/v-deo.html
Okee thanks Master
Let go to may home🏡✌️👍🤝
hard job
good good
You Showed construction but how are you getting 1600 watts
1000W per m2 at 80% efficiency 2xm2=1600W
This is not a solar panel, this is a solar heater.
super
Why not just spray a radiator black?
This is the first of a 3 part video. You will find links to the other videos in the description and the pined comment. It will be painted black than 😉
How much it costs??
€450,-
1600 W How is it calculated? 🤔🤔
This is part 1 of 3.
1600W is an estimate in part 3 it turned out to be 1500W
Here is part 2: ua-cam.com/video/jeKHMe0kVbI/v-deo.html
And part 3: ua-cam.com/video/DIk2mcJ7NHs/v-deo.html
Hope you enjoy!
@@TheDIYScienceGuy I wish You good luck in your work!!
How did you work out that it is generating 1600 watts?
800W/M2x2=1600W
@@TheDIYScienceGuy I am new to this so am still learning the basics of how it works😊 thanks
How much did it cost in materials? And what is the price difference if you went with what leon said about using all aluminium and clay as the thermal insulation.
Total cost is around $400,-. The copper pipe costs around $68,- and the 1mm aluminum plate $40,- so that's $108,- for the collector the way we made it. 2 aluminum plates cost therefore $80,- so you save $28,-. That's not a lot but for me the biggest advantage is that it is much easier to build. But you'll have to make a labyrinth in to it to get an even flow trough the plates so you won't get spots where the water is standing still. Good luck on you quest! 😉👍
@@TheDIYScienceGuy thank you for that greatly appreciated
Are your 1600 watt solar panels for sale? If so, how much?
With wattage mentioned in the title it lead me to think that you would be showing how to make a PV solar panel, instead of a solar water heater.
I'm from europe so Inever use anything else but Watt.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy please forgive my ignorance. I have only heard of watts as being related to electricity. I think that I myself would have been less confused if the measurements were given in BTUs (British Thermal Units).
For hot water
Yes.
Wheres the 1600w?
This is the first of 3 video's here is #2: ua-cam.com/video/jeKHMe0kVbI/v-deo.html and #3: ua-cam.com/video/DIk2mcJ7NHs/v-deo.html
Where do you get your machinery?
As I told in the video for making the housing I used the machines in the workshop of a friend of mine. The rest is all DIY
nice try painting the aluminium black
Yes that is what we are going to do, just like the previous one. 😉
@@TheDIYScienceGuy cool cool
Hello, what are you doing most now, buddy, what are your projects in mind? :)
Hi, next video will be about the finished solar panel. After that, my solar steam engine valve gear. I am thinking about a DIY heat pump system, and nickel plating my hydrogen generator electrodes Also boiler condensor setup for the solar steam engine. To much ideas to little time.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy And tell me why you nickel electrodes for a hydrogen generator? I am currently working on perfecting the project of a two-electrolyte cell for water electrolysis, the so-called acid-base cell, where neutralization is curbed by a PEM naphion membrane. And the goal of achieving greater energy efficiency of generator operation
@@TheDIYScienceGuy Can you leave me your viber contact?
Have you seen this video of mine: ua-cam.com/video/Zn1hkzvFZOI/v-deo.html
ISSO GERA CALOR PARA AQUECER AGUA, NAO POTENCIA EM WATS, ELETRONS!
Alamunium is expensive! rather use PVC foam board for the box. Tech Ingredients has a good video on why using what material for a thermal solar collector should be used. pitty you did not give any dimensions
the best DIY hahahahahah
it's solar heater not solar pannel that conduct electricity
Hola Podrías subtitular al español? could you subtitle to spanish? Gracias thank you

Lo haría si pudiera, pero solo puedo ofrecer subtítulos generados automáticamente. Comprobaré si youtube los tiene en español. ¡Gracias por el aviso!
It's power 1500watts???
Have you seen this video of mine: ua-cam.com/video/DIk2mcJ7NHs/v-deo.html
Which grade of aluminium 6061?
I'm not sure but it's low grade and quite soft.
👍
Every body who has a solar set up it's crap because 1cme or a EMP strike solar is no good wye is that what do solar panels make
Really nice execution, but so much work involved! I think it would be very interesting to compare this type of construction with something using more off the shelf parts like omega style heat transfer plates intended for in-floor radiant heat loops. Those transfer plates in 4 foot lengths are about $2-3 USD in 100ft quantities. To me that seems pretty cheap compared to the time to make your own.
But this does look entirely scalable... 🤔
@@keithedwards9953 above the prototype level, would be better off building a more robust and easier method of creating the panels. The pros use a roller system similar to seamless gutters.
@@bradley3549 yeah, I'm pretty sure you could save the headache if you ordered everything prefab.
عالی
and honestly, I down own big metal fabrication machinery. Other than a machine shop, I don't know of anyone who has one and their labor is expensive.
