DIY 50 Cent Water Heater

vlcsnap-2015-09-02-10h59m59s222.png

I live in a rural area outside Bangalore, where I see people struggling to boil water daily for bathing. People are cutting a lot of trees in order to get wood, this is also very time consuming for the family and generates a lot of harmful smoke in homes. An electric heater costs more than 400 rupees, which isn't affordable. Hence, I made this $0.5 water heater which boil the water very quickly, and is pollution free.

After that you need to fix the wood piece in between the two bolts by applying the hot-glue at both ends.
