@ai6yr I just remembered this video about PCM’s. it would be fascinating to see what happened using this phase change material instead of the muddy mixture in the AC video

@ai6yr the working fluid is water circulating to transport heat from the AC to the ground - 30:06
Backfill around the tubing is a geothermal grout mixture
• Water (50%)
• Sand (40%)
• Bentonite (10%) - 44:15
• Graphite: he adds graphite powder and flakes at 3% (each) to enhance thermal conductivity and reduce viscosity - 47:01
@ai6yr you may find this intriguing. Wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve already seen it!
