Uncle John's Unique Heat Pump System

UNCLE JOHN AND HIS HEAT PUMP 

Here is a brief description of Uncle John's Heat Pump/Solar Energy system that will generate electricity so John can eventually run his electric car , save energy and the world.   The headquarters of his plan is centered in his basement.  In the picture above John is standing where the water from the heat exchange pump system comes in from outside the house (from a depth of 7-8 ft) and enters the basement.  From there it runs through the heat pumps. Passive heat exchange is also utilized to minimize power consumed by the heat pump compressors. Computerized components run and monitor the system.

Heat exchange pump

    In the heat exchange pump water from the outside enters the heat exchange system.   The heat from the outside water is removed and added to Johns house as radiant heating in the floor or from hot air vents in the winter.   In the summer the system works in reverse cooling the house.  

   Another energy gathering  system is a solar water heating unit.  In the future John is adding photovoltaic panels to gather electrical energy.

  The thermometer shows the temperature of 78.4 degrees surrounding the not yet insulated radiant floor heating system.

Raspberry Pi computerized controlling system

The Raspberry Pi is a small computer.

   Temperatures are measured and thermostats set to monitor the system and

make it more energy efficient.  The Raspberry Pi was programmed by Uncle John using Linux open source programming. The picture below shows a report generated by the Raspberry that shows the energy gathered, in this case from the solar water heater.
