Super interesting but the only problem I have is that it ended right when I was about to learn something, lol 😆

Nice work. 👏

Since Loops have to be placed 10 feet apart to not interfere with each other I now feel the whole separation of lines I did here by mere feet was probably pointless and maybe enen counterproductivesince it makes part of it more shallowly burried, but there is still great information here about how to make the slinky table and how to untangle the spools

No shit man, of course you get extra heat exchange but you are digging more, the whole points of loops is to dig less, hell if you want to be as efficient as possible just don't coil them and put them straight. Also not passing the cold near the warm is redundant because it's such tiny amount of time since it's going straight, besides it pre heating the incoming water which is just going to get hotter sooner. Look all i'm saying is the benefit of looping is not digging as much and the trade of is efficiency, you know you can also just dig a U shaped trench and loop the pipes the whole way.

If you do this often I'd make a large lazy susan for under the coil for easy turning.

@Dave -- you automated this in Paint Shop Pro? How? Do you have a paper or followup publication on your work?

Thanks for sharing! Have u done any Solar Hot Water also?

What size is your line? 1/2 or 3/4

wonderful video. since you have to dig the trench already, wouldn't it be faster to just lay the pipe in straight and make it loop back and forth vice in coils? Adding a manifold would allow more liquid through vice longer "under ground" time to equalize temp. the ground can only warm it up so much so temp change is more about volume vice temp.

This can be automated and, by using an HD camera/microscope, augmented to use the cut edges and paper fibers themselves for alignment instead of/in addition to what's printed on the paper. DuckDuckGo Hickman chicken farm fire.

It's interesting to think that everyday people like Dave could literally save our country from a communist takeover

Dave what tube do you recommend? Ecellent video... Thanks!!!

I dont use zip tie they will work. I'll dig then stake it down with 8" sod steaks. More than likely you'll want to headed it off and run multiple loops to keep the head pressure down if not you'll burn through pumps or possibly not get enough water back . I always cut out any kinks more than likely it will cause problems if you have a dirty air filter in the heating season the system will pull into a vacuum on the loop side the pipe will collapse under the ground. That's just my experience and I've installed well over 200 systems. any one need a tech or just has questions. pm me. new and used equipment available. 🐓

Hello. All this video about geothermal systems are 5-6 years old. Is there any positive results on this by now?

Electrical tape works well and cheaper than zip ties.

Which type of pipe(material) used??

Dave, great video. Separating the return line from the loops seems wise. What length and tensile strength zip ties do you use? Is that 1 1/2 inch HDPE? What length of looped pipe fit into your 100 ft of trench (no loop overlap)?

Hi Dave,please contact me ,thanx

next time use black zip ties the are uv resistant, nice job!

Not geothermal it's ground source. Geothermal is when you drill down deep into the earth say 10km until you hit hot rocks

Why would you do a slinky? In the amount of time it takes you just to make a slinky loop, We would have a 6-pipe dug, installed and be on the road back home. Very curious why anyone would do a slinky.

Just use InpliX instructions. you will make it. its so easy

Hi Dave, when you do this design, how many feet of HDPE pipe are you installing per slinky loop?

Thank you for this. What did you use to dig the 8' x 3' trench? What was your best information source for your Geo design. Any changes or wish you would haves from this 2012 design?

Very cool. I wish I had that in my software.
