Project Story
What I made
Construction of a solar water heater for school. This project is an exciting STEAM hands-on activity to learn about renewable and solar energy, the kids will learn how they can use sunlight to make an environment-friendly solar water heater with no electric energy consumption. Also, it will help to understand renewable energy and the Integration of the concept into daily life.
Why I made it
I made this Solar Water Heater project to demonstrate how solar energy can be used to heat water without electricity or fuel. It helps students understand renewable energy, heat absorption, and environmental conservation in a simple and practical way. The project shows how sunlight can be converted into useful heat energy for everyday use.
What I learned
I learned that solar energy can be converted into heat energy to warm water naturally. I also learned that black surfaces absorb more heat from sunlight, and that renewable energy sources can help save electricity and protect the environment.
Materials & Components
Black plastic ring pipe 10 ft Transparent tape Cardboard Aluminium foil Recycled Plastic Bottle
How to Make It
-
1Take a large cardboard piece and make a circle of 12-inch diameter, cut the circle and it will serve as the base of the geyser. Paste the aluminum sheet over the circular base with its reflecting side facing upwards as shown, Cut long stripes of at least 4cm width and stick them with a glue gun to make a wall of the circular base. Make a small hole (about 1cm) at the center of the circular base and pass the 4-5inch part of the black pipe (outlet) and apply hot glue to make it stick at a place. Coil the whole pipe by putting small hot glue at various points. Make another hole in the wall and take out the other end of the pipe (Inlet) and fix it with glue (the end should not be more than 6-7 inches). Cover the base with the transparent sheet, put a glue gun over the edges of the wall, and fit the transparent sheet firmly in a manner that there should not be any loose fold in it. Cut the extra sheet and stick the remaining with scotch tape. Your solar water geyser is now ready, fix any bottle at the inlet pipe with very slow water flow and put any bucket at the outlet pipe to collect the warm water. Solar Water Heater Solar Water Heater
