Frank,
How about just using black hose running in a back and forth direction
from the bottom of your roof to its apex, with a temperature
sensitive valve at the apex point, and a black hose, from the
apex, running down the sunny side of your house into the hot water
container in your

Hi,

I can think of no way to place the hose on the roof and get it to work. If
the hose is lower than the tank it conveys hot water to the tank and shuts
down the loop current when the sun goes down thus

I made the assumption you are on a city type pressurized water
system, therefore no need to lift to roof. If your not, I see the
dilemma. Pretty hard to do without some type of pump.

I know of a few locations where it would be nice to have passive solar hot
water in the summer. I have noted that a black garden hose in the sun produces
hot water. The hose could be placed on a roof. The problem is getting this
heat into a storage tank passively. The hot water tank would
How about keeping the tank on the roof and using a thermosiphon [1] or,
better still, a passive vapor heat pipe [2] to transfer heat to the tank
from a collector below? The height difference between the collector and the
tank would only have to be a foot or two and you'd want the tank on the
roof
Is there any fluid that sinks when heated?

Doubt it since it would hint at suppressed vibrational modes - OTOH - there
is one candidate that I know of - a complex sugar molecule that turns solid
on heating, and then reverts to liquid on cooling.

The problem is getting this heat into a storage tank passively. The hot
water tank would have to be mounted higher than the hose. I would like to
employ the ordinary basement hot water tank. Hot water rises and will not
go down to the basement tank.
Here is an idea for a system where
in the tank.
If I ever figure this out, it will not be cold fusion, however, it could be a
nice product.

What about this? I run a black and white hose up the sunny side of the house
from the basement. The bottom of the circulating loop is lower than the tank.
I splice the bottom of the loop in with a T that connects to the tank drain.
