copper is expensive, you don't need the duct to be very heat-conductive

2020-01-20 18:03:13 UTC  

idea was to use a pocked of smoke for insulation

2020-01-20 18:03:26 UTC  

some other material then...

2020-01-20 18:03:32 UTC  

Any pipe with diameter over say 9 inches is going to be per stressed reinforced concrete

2020-01-20 18:03:45 UTC  

the idea was the pipes spread heat

2020-01-20 18:03:49 UTC  

Or pvc but not for hot water

2020-01-20 18:03:58 UTC  

Fat pipes have all sorts of problems

2020-01-20 18:04:06 UTC  

I have hot air pipes in my walls

2020-01-20 18:04:06 UTC  

Especially when the water is heated

2020-01-20 18:04:22 UTC  

in real

2020-01-20 18:04:24 UTC  

i'd think about a water-based heat distribution

2020-01-20 18:04:34 UTC  

copper pipes can be soldered real easy

2020-01-20 18:04:37 UTC  

"real easy"

2020-01-20 18:04:40 UTC  

but it's doable

2020-01-20 18:04:44 UTC  

in real life.. I have a metal pipe system with hot air
in my house

2020-01-20 18:05:02 UTC  

You cannot run the hot air through the ground and have it retain heat

2020-01-20 18:05:17 UTC  

That’s not how it works, it has very low specific heat

2020-01-20 18:05:33 UTC  

It’ll radiate

2020-01-20 18:05:46 UTC  

you could build earthen spiral around the house and let it be the exhaust

2020-01-20 18:05:58 UTC  

can you made the heat radiate inside?

2020-01-20 18:05:58 UTC  

there's hot tubs on that basis

2020-01-20 18:06:05 UTC  

Also you’re pumping hot air down

2020-01-20 18:06:10 UTC  

you could isolate the outside

2020-01-20 18:06:12 UTC  

Which is another bad idea

2020-01-20 18:06:13 UTC  

then heat is trapped

2020-01-20 18:06:21 UTC  

you could build one wall out of dried africans

2020-01-20 18:06:30 UTC  

This thing is incredibly crude and still riddled with flaws

2020-01-20 18:06:39 UTC  

the spiralling thing always goes up

2020-01-20 18:06:40 UTC  

earthern spiral around the house??
below the house?

2020-01-20 18:06:44 UTC  

dig a hole for the fire

2020-01-20 18:06:53 UTC  

burrow!

2020-01-20 18:06:56 UTC  

It’s like trying to build New York’s steam system for a hut

2020-01-20 18:07:30 UTC  

With all the wrong materials

2020-01-20 18:07:32 UTC  

I have a fireplace in copper or bronze
with air pipes in my house

2020-01-20 18:07:37 UTC  

in real ife

2020-01-20 18:07:43 UTC  

Lmao can you read mate

2020-01-20 18:07:59 UTC  

yes

2020-01-20 18:08:01 UTC  

You’re pumping air down

2020-01-20 18:08:05 UTC  

Under ground

2020-01-20 18:08:10 UTC  

reading is for people who fail at really educated guessing
