Reuses electric clothes dryer heat to warm basement! No dust--no moisture to cause mold. Completely sealed system.
Device uses a 55 gal. used drum (held machine oil), 13 2-liter soda pop bottles filled w/ water, 1 blown bike inner tube, 40" of window sealing strip, 3' of foam pipe insulation, 2 coffee
cans, 2 8' 4'' sections of flexible ductwork, 1 25' 3'' piece of flexible ductwork, 3 temperature probes, 1 35 degree celcius temperature switch (NO), 2 3" to 4" duct converters, 4 machine screws, 1 rectangular to circular duct converter, and one old mainframe cooling fan (50-70 cfm.)
Don't attempt to try this with a gas dryer---you will die! My apologies for poor video quality. Next video will have data.

cool... well "warm"... you might want to move it into an HB category since it doesn't belong on the site as an unfulfilled idea. Will look at the vide when I get a minute. |

Haven't we done this one already? |

I like it a lot. I don't have much to add but It gives me an idea. |
|

I was all set to welcome you but you're already a lifer... |

I remember now, it was something about cooling the fridge
with reclaimed heat from the dryer. |
