Yea your not going to get 55 deg air from that. The air moves to fast to pull the heat/cool value from the radiator. Youll probably get way less than half the temp difference without a compressor …. Maybe slower air flow will get you more heat/cool from the rad but energy transfer through that rad is not worth the cost .whats the air temp after the rad?

I appreciate the availability of the video. It's been a long time since I've done a double flare and it was good information. The only thing I would recommend is that you do not do the burr cleaning with the burr tool in vertically positioned tubing as shown. That will drop shavings into the tube which you do not want to have happen.

Very nice.

❤❤❤❤❤thxs❗❗❗👍

Im so glad i finally found your content. TH-cam seems only to promote videos with useless content now.

That little hat is a upset die.

My mom lives on a big, deep lake in VA, where the temp is always around 50 degrees below the thermocline (around 13ft). I've always wanted to do a pond loop geothermal system for her, but felt like it was too much to bite off.

One question, how you can be 100% sure no any air remaining in the tubes ?

Can you please let us know of the temperatures

What happen if you find a stone? you have to start over in a different place?

You deserve more views, you did with 1000 usd the same than others do with 15000 usd and using more energy as well.

Should have used a proper tool and not a toy

engine sound weird. It's not like the typical Ford sound.

LARRY first i would like to say thankyou for providing and insightful video of such a beautiful project with brilliant ideas. A real big thankyou!!!!!!❤❤❤

I always use a bit of grease to lubricate the tube and die makes for better more consistent flares, don't forget to clean the pipes before flaring to remove any swarf and after to remove any grease!

It sucks but getting the neighborhood to go for it would be impossible. People just dont want the noise.

Looks perfect

very nice, but no need for pressure tank nor air splitter nor all the copper... geopros org shows 40 years experience, INLET LINES ONLY REQUIRE GOING TO A T fitting , and 2 lbs press is fine, with 1 to 5 gal. reservoir 5ft above inside pipe and pump. your system does well with floor radiant right under a vehicle/ rv keeping unfrozen, like some pump ocean/lake water through to bridges for ice melt . again inlet to 1" - 1.1/4" t ... top t to valve and Fawcett t boiler drain .. then little hose 3/4 or 1" up to ceiling plastic carboy or any jug.. AIR WILL AUTO PURGE, see all leaks if any later by transparent jug. another is just put pump under a 6ft x 4" or 6" simple pvc pipe or green type drain pipe... valve and drain Fawcett below pipe above pump... hydro-temp com " auto purge " 1977

Yes, pleeeease do an update video on the geothermal, showing how well it tempers your garage in the winter, and how well it cools in the summer with temps etc.. Inlet and outlet temps on the radiator, and just how well you feel, it's been working the past few years, thank you.

Hey everybody, in the first video. It shows that he is making vertical wells down into the groundWATER. As long as that water is at least moving slowly there should be plenty of thermal exchange with no substantial heating of the ground to ambient temperature. I do agree that there should be a third video showing the performance of the system though, even if it failed, describing why he thought it works well or it failed.

the only downsides with the design that I can tell after watching both parts is that 1) the loops come back up to within 24in of the surface, so they stand to pick up heat/cold on the round trip. For people with a 36in frost line, they will have to dig some deeper horizontal trenches. 2) that you are introducing a lot of leak points. The water drill for the wells works in loose/clay soil, but if you have large rocks, this may not be the best solution. In the end, I would say its a pretty good low budget solution that maintains pretty good performance. I'm sure it would work fine to keep a small garage or greenhouse temperature even. Im sure with a heat pump you can extract lots of energy from it and might even be able to heat a pool.

Where did you get the radiator?

Can you update geothermal vid? How is it working? What temps are you getting? What have you learned? People always post the building of these DIY systems, but never follow up with a 3-5years later vid. Include it in a card on the vid.

I ll always double flared ...thx q for sharing...never heard of .waw

Genius! so glad i found your video

Do you have a air return from the greenhouse?

This is an amazing project. My idea is to try this, but to make all pipe transitions from vertical to horizontal at 8 ft depth ( below the frost line in southern alberta) Also, the pipes must be insulated as they go from 8 ft depth to surface. I was going to implement this for two reefers, and have the wells and piping underneath th reefer. There would be a layer of insulation beneath the reefer (foamcrete).

You copy Howard Hughes copy rights bandido😊

Thank you for this clear and careful demonstration.

I thought your ideas were completely valid from the point of view with thermal dynamics....

Love it. Thank you for the video!

Amazing! I am moving to NC and want to build a greenhouse thanks for answering the A/C portion in the green house! Im going to add solar and batteries with an A/C inverter to run the pump and fan! Thank you very much!

Anyone know if it would be more efficient to use 1", 3/4", or 1/2" for the underground pipe? I only have 900sf to cool. So i plan to build a 2 or 3 ton system. I have an old well (not used) on the property has 20 or 30ft of cold water, i may use to loop the return pipe down and back up 3 or 4 time before going back in the house.

Looks logical. We have slate ground. A bit different, but the logic is good.

This guy plumbs

Larry great design . Only thing i would have added is to use a hydrostat to control fan and or pump so they are not running when not needed. Otherwise great job and great idea.

performance would be nice

Great work, can we also use it to cool the radiator?

I've seen similar drilling techniques when researching about drilling a well. I understand doing the vertical lines as opposed to using a large area.. Just not sure why you didn't want to put in the compressor and exchange , to have much more heat available.

Great idea. We have been discussing this kind of thing since the 1970s. Virtually no environmental impact. Initial investment very reasonable. The question would be what kind of long-term maintenance is needed and what is the life Spand of the tubes in the ground with out maintenance. Overall I believe every new house should be equipped with a geothermal heating system. Nice job.

Can copper be used on break lines?

Hello Larry thank you for sharing the video. I am building a greenhouse for my hydroponic garden. Its very very hot here in Kuwait, and I want to use 2 cooling systems: Geothermal and water cooled air-conditioner. I buried my water hose 4 meters below surface. Because the sand is very dry in the summer. I laid plastic sheet under pipes to help keep moisture. In addition to that, I connected a drain pipe to about 3 meters down when I drain my water/solution tank so that I keep some moisture around the underground pipes to help in heat exchange. I am still curious about the delta T, temperature difference. I will add a water thermometer for water in and out of the system.

Has anybody done a Engine swap, to keep up with the newer bikes?

We'll earned like. Excellent video

Have to say it is well thought out.... and you have left the system open to adding future mods so you are covered. The only thing I can think of is a variable-speed motor. It would cost out front but pay off in the long run Also depends on the future mods.. But for a DYI you did great...

Ах ты старый пердун, как ты дошёл до этого?

Very instructional. Thank you sir. I've learned my something for the day.

hey! I like your pressure gauges. A lot! :) Love the sight glass! I'd have also liked an inline temp gauge of some sort just for an extra giggle. just getting a feel of the pipe is very cool also.

Great work and great video

very impressive
