Design is free to anyone who wants to use it. This turns any water-heating endeavor into a profitable, or at least cost-reduced, enterprise. Have fun!
Items used are a water / air intercooler off Ebay fed by 3/4" water hose and a Bosche 12v pump model #0392022002.
Attained water temperatures of 50C / 122F for a week before I took it down.

Open loop (Can run 100%). https://i.imgur.com/kkgwDyr.jpg
The closed-loop is very quiet, the fans don't need to run anywhere near 100%. I ran mine around 30%, and while enclosed the sound is equivalent to a box fan on medium-ish.
The open-loop is good for winter, especially if you can duct it into your HVAC intake.
Both setups can be run in reverse to cool the intake air charge through the intercooler if a cold water source can be obtained. (Cold part of A/C unit dunked in coolant that is fed through the intercooler, for example.)
