FLOATING WATER HEATING SYSTEM

Abstract: floating water heating systems may be composed of a variety of components. in particular implementations, a system may include a buoyant member, a number of solar cells, and a heating element. the buoyant member may have an outer surface, a top surface, and an inner surface, with the inner surface defining a central passage. the buoyant member may also have at least one channel extending from the inner surface to the outer surface. the channel may have side walls, a bottom wall, and a height extending therefrom. the solar cells may be coupled to the top surface of the buoyant member, and the heating element may be coupled to the buoyant member near the bottom wall of the channel. the buoyant member may be ballasted such that the surface level of water in which the buoyant member will float is above the bottom wall of the channel.
