DIY solar heat boxInstead of alumcans would thicker alumtubing create more heat - Bernadette - 01-16-2020

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?thinner heats up faster, and paint it black, dark colors will absorb heat fasterOther related question
