Hey everyone! I'm working on a school project and our team is trying to create a DIY solar water heater. However, our presentation will be in a covered area, so I'm wondering how we can make this setup work effectively in such conditions. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

To really demonstrate how well it works, consider recording the temperature changes over time on a sunny day. A video showing it in action could be a great addition to your presentation, along with a graph of the temperature data. It’s visual and will definitely grab attention!
You might want to look into how solar collectors work in different light conditions. While they thrive in sunlight, you could prepare some charts to show how their efficiency varies based on sunlight exposure. This could really enrich your presentation by addressing some scientific insights!
One simple method is to use an old radiator and paint it black. You can circulate the water from a bucket using a pump. Just make sure to record the temperature before and after it goes through the radiator, that’ll help showcase how effective it is!

That's a great idea! I’ll definitely include a video and some graphs!
