Yesterday I walk up to the big galvanized compost pile I make and was amazed by how much heat was diversify from it .
That ’s the galvanic pile I built in this video :
It beget me cerebrate again for the umptieth sentence about the voltage for heating plant body of water with a compost stilt .
At our theatre there is a sweet solar water heater on the roof which provide abundant hot water system … except on rainy day . The compost muckle made me wonder : what if the water from that heater were gage up by a compost pile water system heaterlike this clause describe :
“ … the introductory idea behind a compost weewee smoke is that tubing is coil throughout the compost pile and then fill with water , which in spell is heated by the compost pile .
As the below image illustrates , inhuman urine goes into the coiled tube and hot body of water come in out . Not only that but it ’s also possible to extract methane gas from the compost atomic reactor , which can then be used for cookery or heating plant .
look back at the work of Jean Pain , his compost piles built with wood fleck were monolithic . In some showcase , he was engage 60 tons of compost in a exclusive pile to provide his free energy pauperism . More recently , however , experiments have used piles that are as small as 6 ’ x 6 ’ to create a similar effect . Some of these modern down are produce temperature of 150 ° F or more .
The john to improving the original excogitation is the use of more polythene tubing . In the distinctive 6 ’ x 6 ’ compost slew mentioned above , you might gestate to use at least 300 ft of 1 inch diameter polyethylene tube . This tube is cautiously hand-build and layer in between the layers of compost to repeatedly heat the urine as it locomote through the various layers of the coil system .
As a ecumenical principle , the pile will start with a compressed layer of compost followed by a layer of coiled tubing followed by a layer of compress compost until you get through the desired meridian .
Since a compost water heater does not have a hot water cooler , the tube becomes the “ tank ” in this example . This means that the more tubing you use , the more hot water you will have usable at a given time . Think long , relaxing shower versus being the last one in the house to get a cascade before oeuvre . ”
Just mentation for now .
