Propain is a natural gas and I'm not going to use fire either.

Well then its cold showers for you.
Propane is not a natural gas, it's a gas extracted from coal.

They sell propane and natural gas water heaters, you merely run the gas line to it.
Solar units to power things like hot water heaters are available, using solar pannels and battery banks

Is this a riddle or what? If so, please give us the answer, Twin8. Or just smoke some more of whatever you are smoking, and let us know how it turns out.

OK! What you're seeking is called " perpetual motion". That's getting enginery from nothing. Good luck in your quest. And if you do find a way to make it work would you be interested in buying into a device that melts lead and it comes out gold? Cheers. Tom

I found what I was looking for thak you all for your contribution to this thread I don't know what its called but a system of several copper pipes heated by the sun water runs through it causing it to heat the water and therefore giving you hot water and its cheaper than having a conventional water heater

So... the sun heats it? Hmmm... I thought that perhaps that would mean it is solar... guess not as you didn't want one that was solar.
but not use electricity solar energy or natural gas

Well just what do you think copper pipes painted black and heated by the sun is called? That's right sports fans! It's a "solar panel". Now, how much are you willing to invest in my lead to gold device? I take all major credit cards. No checks please! Cheers, Tom

I guess we have to stop reading these post the way they are written and use our super powers to figure what people really want.
Anybody know Hank Hill's phone number?
