    I think you are correct. I thought it was interesting from a scientific standpoint. But in practice, I see this as useful for a very small subset of people.

    But its interesting in that people are doing it. Ive seen this with a greenhouse once, where the compose + metal pipes like a refrigerator was keeping the greenhouse warm enough to keep the plants alive in the winter. Its a variation of the video above. A compose heater. https://www.farmshow.com/view_articles.php?a_id=1444 Apparently, they have been doing it for a couple of decades. And all it requires is some cleaning and a LOT of land. More than I thought. Because when composting, there are different temperatures that occur in the process as different things break down. Or so I was told.

    Im not 100% sure why people are down-voting the video, but I find the subject fascinating.

      I def thought the science and tech was interesting. It is cool the same way other diy projects are cool. But I imagine the downvotes are coming from people who dislike the hype aspect of saying “this is free energy the powerful people are hiding from us”, which has a conspiracy nut vibe.

        Ah yes that title of the video is very…unique haha. I usually keep the titles to respect the video creators.

        Thanks! I didnt really think of that.
