Vincent, O W

A solar heater that heats air is described. The solar heater has a shape like a dome with a transparent outer cover and transparent inner cover. A dead air layer is inbetween covers. Inside the dome is a collector that holds up the covers and converts the solar rays to heat. Air or gas is circulated through the solar heater from an input pipe on one side to an output pipe on the other side, obtaining heat from the collector and base by conduction and radiation.
