Thanks for posting this. I can't wait to see how this progresses - but I'll just have to, won't I.
-
Great to see young persons doing a lot of the work.

It would be great to get an update on this. Thanks!

Cool project. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Considering that the main obstacle you have as heat during the winter, is there a reason you elected not to put a layer of insulation underneath your tubing to create somewhat of a thermal break between your battery and the Earth beneath it? As this is currently set up wouldn't the heat being pushed into the soil potentially just escape out the bottom too?

Would be really nice to see this in 1080p at least.

Amazing

Sand + silo painted black+ copper pipe coiled at the inside edge of the silo+ water tower+ pond + rocket stove inserted in the silo for added power = your welcome🎉

Would be great to see what would be the heat coming out of this once it is heated and the time for discharge comes. I just have one question. Aren't you gonna isolate the top as well? If its left like this would't it be releasing some of the heat?

Are you in Strathmore, California which is close to Lindsay California? Thank you.

WOW, lota synthetic matterials used, Some Time Later over the next 1000years going to take them some effort to clean up. 😮

is this in Edmonton?

The biggest mistakes I see when making a climate battery is, they are never deep enough to take advantage of constant temperatures at 15-25 feet and using pipe that is too small. Pipe between 12-24 inches with appropriate fans for air volume mobility allows better temperature regulation. Storm water chambers work better for quick recharge and use, especially when installed in layers that are 15-25 feet below grade and filled with a combination of sand and gravel for temperature permeability. Most geothermal batteries are shallow like yours because of cost and labor but can not store enough heat to run for very long.
