The development of increasingly sophisticated technology will have positive and negative impact, some equipment will result in greater heat compensation. This heat dissipation must be removed immediately to keep the device working properly. Therefore, equipment is needed that can move this heat quickly and large capacity. In addition to be discarded, heat from potential sources can also be utilized. One heat transfer device that does not require energy as a driver is a heat pipe. This tool is very potential for the application, but not yet widely used especially in Indonesia, then in this paper will be described the process from planning to testing. The heat pipe in the material selection is strongly influenced by the plan of its use, both its physical components on the form of pipes, axis structures, and working fluids as well as the operating range of the heat pipe. Some types of heat pipe and the use of materials will be different to the manufacturing process. One of the heat pipe tests applied to the solar collector showed a positive result.
