Solar hot air collector design - pop can vs metal screen
This is a great comparison done by Gary over at builditsolar. He built two smaller solar collectors, one made with pop cans as the collector material, and the other one was made with metal screen. He then tested them quite throughly. The result were that both collectors performed nearly identical, but each had its strengths and weaknesses in other areas. I suggest checking out the article. Thanks for the great write up and testing Gary!
