ABSTRACT:
A heated stock tank with insulated walls and a drinking trough on a side is surrounded by a larger stock tank to protect it from livestock. The heated stock tank has a steel plate above the water. Copper tubes depending from the plate are immersed in the water within the heated tank. A transparent covering is over the heated tank. A vertically oriented mirror is mounted on a heated tank wall. The mirror directs additional sunlight through the transparent covering to the steel plate. The heat energy in the steel plate is conducted through the copper tubes into the water. In addition, the transparent covering produces a "hothouse" effect by trapping the heated air beneath the transparent covering.
