At this moment I use black cans for to heat up water for shower. In the morning I put the black cans with water in the sun and in the evening it is so hot that we have to use cold water to make it safe for shower. Some other cans goes in an haybox and are used in the morning.
I want to try another way to heat up my water now. It look like a solar dryer. Not with in and outlet for air, but closed. Insteadt of a layer where in the food for drying i want to make a host where the water goes trough and after heating it will be collected in a reservoir in my shower.
Is it true that water if it is getting hot can rise up under a special angel?
Has some one any idea what can help me? :idea:

Thanks in advance.
