Using fluorescent light tubes, which contain toxic mercury compounds and poisoned everyone in the area.

I was thinking the same thing when he said i broke fluorescent light tubes… What you do with the mercury in them… When you die from cancer you know why…

This is an example of how efficient can be solar water heating roof. It heat water and at the same time keep the house cool. I have used polycarbonate sheets for building solar water heaters getting amazing results. They are tough, lightweight, inexpensive.

your last line should say, ‘be careful while doing this”
if you use common sense, fluorescent lightbulbs and even mercury can be handled safely…

Stop that stupid hate messages; if you have good advice, just post it as additional info.
Guys, BE AWARE of the following: When opening the tubes, toxic fumes escape, take your precautions.
Is that so difficult?
It seems more appealing to scold and namecall, instead of being constructive.

The glass is an insulator you morons… there is no liquid flowing through it. Mercury escapes as vapor that can be inhaled and as a fine powder that can settle into carpet and other textiles. At least one case of mercury poisoning has been linked to fluorescents: A 1987 article in Pediatrics describes a 23-month-old who suffered weight loss and severe rashes after a carton of eight-foot (2.4-meter) tubular bulbs broke in a play area. That is an entire carton! Jesus quit freaking out.

Also uses pvc. If this is to be used for potable water he should be using cpvc. Pvc plastic releases chemicals into water at any temperature greater than 70 degrees f. Also the florecent light tubes contain murcury as well as other not so good stuff that can be absorbed through skin contact and inhalation.

I was going to say you’re poisoning anyone who uses that thing with those bulbs but if it’s just insulating an enclosed pipe there should be less of an issue

They should educate you so you don’t go around poisoning the people you are suppose to help on your mission. Your water heater is flawed in so many ways.

You need to read up on the hazards of mercury exposure, friend.

Perhaps plastic hose can make an alternative insulator. great job! After seeing the 5 kw shower heads I can understand why they are flooding the amazon forest for their hydro dam. great job on your solar heater. I worked in a factory once where we made 5kw washer driers for the american market. they were HUGE

Its really dangerous to mess with whats in those tubes… They contain mercury wich is toxic to humans and surrounding life in the environment. When you dispose of the dust it eventually dissolves and ends up in waterways becoming concentrated in apex predators.

Inappropriate content alert — The fellow in the video advises use of fluorescent light tubes, which contain toxic mercury compounds. He calls for breaking/cutting the ends of the tubes and disposing of the “dust.” This material is quite toxic via skin exposure and inhalation. He is exposing himself to this material, along with anyone else who comes into contact with it during or after the process. DO NOT DO THIS!

CPVC would have been a better choice, it can handle much higher and lower temperatures.
