Question:

DIY solar heat boxInstead of alumcans would thicker alumtubing create more heat?

I've seen them built using aluminum cans to draw heat through but I wondered if thicker aluminum tubing would create more heat since it is thicker or would it slow down the heat absorption?

Answer:

thinner heats up faster, and paint it black, dark colors will absorb heat faster
