VIDEO: Pop Can Solar Heater (Awesome). Photo – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLNViUsRCVU
Here we have a great video tutorial from Rich Allen that shows you how to build your very own solar air heater or “solar collector” using basic tools and materials. This is a great project for anyone who wants to tap into free renewable energy and save some money on heating bills. The video gives a really good demonstration of each stage of the build and easy-to-follow instructions – it’s a project that can be completed in a weekend and would make a great science project too!
The solar air heater is one of the best ways to start your move to an off-grid lifestyle and reduce your environmental footprint. A home-made solar heater will pay for itself within a year or two, compared to commercially available collectors or solar panels that would take many years to pay for themselves with the savings on utility bills.
We found a site that’s full of info about DIY off-grid projects – the owners have done some testing on various types of home-made devices to see how they compare – it looks like there are lots of folks out there who have been building, testing and comparing solar heater designs in recent years so there’s now a wealth of help available for the DIY off-grid enthusiast!
The Simply Solar forum, started in march 2013 by Scott Davis, is a great place to start – it could save you making costly mistakes with your design and build and will give you new ideas for solar projects for use in the home and garden. It’s worth looking at some of Rich Allen’s other videos too – he has made several of these heaters, experimenting with different materials and improving the design along the way.
If you’re planning to use this kind of heater for your home (rather than a workshop or other outbuilding) you need to know that the National Mechanical Code (US) prohibits circulating conditioned air of more than
120ºF (49ºC) in wooden stud spaces, so you’ll need to use metal for the construction.
Here are a few tips to improve the efficiency of your solar heater:
Insulate the back and sides of the box well.
Twinwall polycarbonate glazing will reduce heat loss through the front panel.
Use matt black paint to absorb the maximum heat possible.
Use simple flapper valves to prevent cooling by reverse air flow at night.
Okay, here is the video:

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...
Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:
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:
