It's basically a giant solar stove, with insulation and a smoke stack on top, made out of two 55 gallon drum drums, with some copper coil going through it, then the water gets hot and goes through a variety of solenoid valves to ensure complete safety, then goes to a radiator off an old Nissan, then back to the heater. The temperature gets measured at six points. It gets graphed and saved. Kept currently figuring out the actual heat dissipation properties of the system so I can fine-tune it and make it run automatically. #offgrid #controlsystems #raspi #solenoid #diy #thermodynamics #woodburningstove #plumbing #hvac #workshop
