5 DIY Sand Battery Air Heaters! with heating elements! all models heat up quickly and radiate heat for hours. simple to make. made with steel food cans, sand, and 12v ceramic heating tablets. (the 12v plug and heat powered stove fan are optional). since the heaters are 12v they can be powered in many ways... solar panel, wind turbine, 12v battery or even a cars 12v power socket. wall current can also be used (as shown in video). PTC ceramic tablets (also known as self-regulating heating stones) are tough and long lasting (and made to run dry) so they're excellent for heating sand! all units will reach a little over 300F/150C. great for off-grid use. sand is excellent for thermal storage. it can store heat at high temperatures for a long time. for more heat consider making a "sand battery bank". make 2, 4 or 6 and cluster them together. sand battery heat storage technology has been in the news lately, it will be fun to see how it progresses.
