We discovered a detailed explanation of the different kinds of solar water heating systems that can be installed for off-grid use or to pre-heat your water to use with a grid-based system. The link to the full tutorial follows after our introduction to the topic.


The tutorial takes the form of an interview with Rob Harlan, who is a California-based contractor with a long history of working with solar systems. This is a really informative page and an awesome place to start if you’re interested in building or installing a solar water heater in your own home!

Utilities are becoming more and more expensive in recent years – there are sources of power that we could harness to save ourselves money and reduce the use of non-renewable fuels to produce our energy. Water has a high Specific Heat Capacity, which means that it uses a lot of energy to heat up so this makes it an ideal choice for an alternative method to give the largest savings!

Many of these systems have been around for decades and the simplest version for over a century! Solar water heaters are becoming more popular across the world, which means that the components and systems are now more affordable. Hawaii is leading the way by making it compulsory to install a solar water heater in every new home!

The principle of solar water heating is very simple – the water circulates through a series of tubes that are enclosed in a solar collector. All of the areas that are exposed to the sun’s rays are painted black to allow for the maximum heat absorption and a well-insulated storage tank is crucial to keep the system as efficient as possible.

Most solar heaters use the basic process of thermosiphoning or convection, so as the water heats up it expands and becomes lighter, moving to the top of the system and then it is replaced with colder water from below – this means that there is no need to use a pump to circulate the water!

It’s important to study the different options as their suitability depends on your local climate – if you have freezing temperatures and not many sunny days, this will restrict your choice of design and will require a more complex system but surprisingly an “evacuated tube collector” could still be a very cost-effective option. If you have the skills to build a system from scratch, this will save the most money but it’s also easy to source ready made units as well.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Lost Ways Of Survival Video

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.

Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:

What REALLY Happens When You Bury a Shipping Container? (Hint: It's A Bit Crazy...)

Shipping containers are all the rage - but if you are thinking about buying one, you MUST watch this video first:

Do not, I repeat do NOT do what these lunatics did! Can you spot the "fatal mistake" they made?

There's a general belief that if you bury a shipping container you can create an awesome root cellar / storm shelter / survival bunker.

But is a shipping container strong enough to handle the pressure?

I Can't Help Showing This Off:

If you haven't heard of Claude Davis yet do yourself a huge favor and watch this video.

One of the smartest guys I ever had the pleasure of meeting, Claude set-up a unique prepping system that changed his life forever.

I already tried it myself and let me tell... you I was completely blown away... His surprising tactics could make your life easier and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
