Buried culvert type tube for heating/cooling house
Harold in CR:
Sorry, search found nothing.
Been a long time since being on this site due to various problem with life issues.
Anyway, Son moved to South Alabama and then had a stroke. May never work again, so, trying to help with energy bills through ground assisted air through AC duct work. Did this a long time ago and helped by direct opening into house with no duct work.
Looking for helpful advice, I know this could help raise air temp in winter and cool the temp in summer using the A/C blower and duct work. Problem is losing marbles every day and forgetting the construction requirements.
Any experienced help greatly appreciated.

I know the search function currently does not work. I have been studying how it "should" work. Were working on fixing it may take a couple weeks from now.

Until the search function on Fieldlines.com is fixed, the best way to search the site is using Google.
Just type this on Google:
site:fieldlines.com
Then add search terms to zoom-in on the information that you are looking for.
Here are two examples. Notice that one is looking for heating and the other is looking for cooling.

Thanks guys. The computer language or way of looking for stuff is what stumps me. ::)
Youtube calls this "earth tubes" is what I am looking for. Plastics don't transfer heat/cold as quick and steady as metal, so, that's why I am considering culvert tubes or equivalent.
Idea is to "dilute" the air inside the house. The house I did this in years ago, I also cut a hole in the ceiling and roof and added a solar chimney with a 20" box fan fastened inside helping move the hot air from the upper parts of the rooms.

In humid climates like Alabama mold and mildew is going to be a problem, be better off with a sealed liquid loop and a car radiator and a 12 volt fan with a good shroud to fan and duct work the other side. Can use pex for the loop, deeper it is buried the better! And longer!
