- 1 piece of plywood, 10 food grade screens plus a bunch of salvaged materials was formed into a solar dehydrator on wheels. When the summer harvest is providing, Jasper Snow Rosen and John Muirhead have been thinking ahead to preserving goods for splitboard, surf and camping missions when winter comes. The last few years we've been using little electric dehydrators, but we got inspired by some friends up north who built one of these, found some plans and went for it. We're now able to dry out solid batches at a time, using only the power of the sun!
Thanks for showing what you are doing! Inspiring!
Superb.
Do you have a link to a set of DIY instructions please.
Can you please post the link to the music playing in the intro?
Thanks!! I love it! I hope to make one with my kiddos!
Great video, but how did those dehydrated apples turned out?
Hey! They turned out decent, the issue we ran into was not enough hours of full sun on the property. So once the temp cooled down they began to rehydrate ... Thinking of adding a little heater to supplement the temperature overnight
@@johnmuirhead8944 Have you thought about adding a copper pipe water rad inside the dehydrator? And a solar fan to move the air through the dehydrator to move the hot air a bit more? Great design, thanks for sharing. Our garden season is super short here in North Central Ontario, and I've been thinking of dehydrating too. Take care. Be safe. Maureen
Instead of aluminum sheet you should use roof black natural slate tile + Put some natural thermal insulator. You will get a better temperature. If too hot just place a piece of plywood on a small surface of the solar part. You need good ventilation to get rid of moister
@@cabinlife2347 Hey Maureen, a rad inside is a cool idea, or even just a heater over night so it doesnt rehydrate once the suns gone. And for sure a fan is a great idea.
@@romansanchez9961 thanks that's a dandy idea
Thank you very much.🍎🍐🍊🍋🍌🍓🍈🍒🍑🥦
So rad!
did the dipping water get into the glass chamber?
what kind of mesh are you using? most of them have cancer-causing metals, usually, they don't label them and tell you those facts
What temperature do get inside
I wanted to see the end result
супер, молодчага
Can somebody give an approximate price for the whole thing?
Make it yourself thanks to inplix page. I think it's the best way to learn how to build it in the cheapest way.
how did you attach the wheels? can you please share? thanks
we took a few wheels off an old wheelbarrow and just bolted them on
Hey! Can u please help me , im confused on which item did u use on top of the drying chamber?
On top of the drying chamber we put the sliding vent to open if it got too hot
Epic Brews!
kinda like SUB POP PRESENTS>>>
You drink mate?
Yeah no, I can show anyone how I’m building something, that works for me but if I fail to teach them how to build one as well that works for everyone. Isn’t that the whole purpose of you tube? I can go to your Facebook and see that you built a dehydrator and say oh snap that’s cool. But here you give us nothing, not where you got the plans and not how your produce turned out. In future videos if you cherish your viewers you may want to think about these things.
Yeah I guess it's not so much a tutorial video, that would be difficult since we were just learning ourselves along the way! Hope to inspire others to try something out and see how it works for you.
Friend?.do you think snybody can build one by looking at your vid? For sure not. Might as well remove this vis as its useles. Try again.
Yeah you're right, Might as well just remove the video....
No, don't plz. the idea and your feedback is helpful. Never mind others.
