Beer Bottle Solar Hot Water Heater
According to the Internet, this Chinese farmer is getting hot shower water from this roof of beer bottles and plastic tubing. This version of the story was seen on Ananova (sent in by reader Arnaud Betremieux). The account says "I invented this for my mother. I wanted her to shower comfortably," says Ma Yanjun, of Qiqiao village, Shaanxi province.Ma's invention features 66 beer bottles attached to a board. The bottles are connected to each other [with plastic tubing] so that water flows through them.Sunlight heats the water as is passes slowly through the bottles before flowing into the bathroom as hot water, reports China Economy Network. Ma says it provides enough hot water for all three members of his family to have a shower every day.And more than 10 families in the village have already followed suit and installed their own versions of Ma's invention."

If he used the dark, smoke-colored beer bottles, the water would get hotter/it would take fewer of them.
Ted - I thought the same thing. Also thought black hose going back and forth would be much easier but that might not be easy to get over there.
I wonder if those are Tsingtao beer bottles, it's pretty good beer and the bottles are fairly strong, they work well for home brew.
I know it worked perfectly well, and will save you from having more garbage, just wondering how long the plastic bottles will last?
