Dirt Cheap Earth Air System Cuts Summer Heat and Winter Costs
Paul Hansel, a Minnesota tinkerer, uses 500 feet of buried pipe eight feet down to cool air to about 62 degrees in 90 weather and to warm a home in winter, claiming roughly 25 percent heating savings and lower humidity. His Earth Air Re-entry System relies on simple components and a small fan, with costs far below conventional air conditioning.
