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

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

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.

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
