    This is the best and the cheapest way to generate heat for our homes.
    All the waste people generate could be easily transformed into energy for heating their homes (and for other purposes)

    Thanks so much. Had this idea and now seeing it worked so great for you guys, I’ll be doing it myself for our greenhouse. All the love

    The obvious problem with the extraction of heat from a compost mound is how to get the maximum amount of heat from the pile and how to eventually remove the pipe without damaging it, so that it can be used again. Please tell me what you did to improve the design. I thought what you had created looked excellent, but your revised model intrigues me.

    Well done, do you think green waste may improve heat if the pile...

    So this basically works through conduction coils?

    I'm wondering about putting in smaller unit in my greenhouse. I mean i don't want to take up the entire greenhouse but it will have mainly tropicals inside it year around. I'm thinking about a 6' wide maybe 5'tall set up. I have a couple bales of spoiled hay and lots of rabbit poop. I bet that might heat up well. Hopefully we will see

    How do you get oxygen to the compost pile? I'm really curious someone to know that answer

      Look here you insufferable turd merchant, 130 degrees F for 10 months, using nothing but woodchips and cow shit is a resounding success. How much LPG would be needed to get the same result?
      Improvements are part of the process, or do you think the Wright Brothers should habe rolled out the A380 on the first draft?
      Great work!

    OMG... GIRL (!) How much did you increase the temp in the greenhouse... LOL.. like the most important information is missing :-)!..?

    Was there any 2.0 version of this?

      Hello, we did not conduct another version of this. Here's the report if you want to learn more. wmich.edu/sites/default/files/attachments/u691/2016/LowryPitschel1.pdf

    Have you done the second pile with the new design for better heat transfer? Thanks!!!!

    • @WMUSustainability
      @WMUSustainability  5 років тому +1

      No, we have not redesigned the core or built a second pile. If you have direct questions you can contact me at joshua.a.shultz@wmich.edu Thanks!

    Can you catch the methan gas and do something with it too?

    this is so ineficient, with this amount of biomass, you could heat 5 greenhouses with a more insulated system and probably 10 greenhouses if you heated with burning this amount of biomass...
