Description
Summary:This article describes the design of a prototype for a water heater made with recycled materials and takes advantage of thermal radiation. The methods and materials used for the development of the solar heater prototype are presented, as well as its theoretical operation. The design considers the best orientation for maximum use. In the tests carried out, it is confirmed that black bodies absorb solar radiation, as well as the greenhouse effect caused by glass.
