So I do think it is not a bad idea to use wind to heat water with extremely simple system. I am thinking on the same nowadays. [ Parent ]
When there's no sun, its usually windy, and vice-versa, if most of the parts can be scrounged fairly cheap, why not do both for winter water heat?
I believe it may be a worthwhile investement, especially if the hot water is also used to warm the floors. Maybe not appropriate for everyone, but perhaps useful for quite a few?
