What's an Earth Pipe?

How much cooling can you expect? Are there any sites on the internet?

The only place I know that could probably answer that is
news:alt.solar.thermal.

I know that practical results from doing it have produced all the
coolth wanted.

I suggest using a heat exchanger on the house end to avoid sucking air
in past mould which can form in teh pipe due to condensation. Such
might be a car rad and fan, with the earthpipe air going thru the rad
and outside. However its normally been done with no exchanger, just
piped air into the house.

This isnt something likely to be taken up by ac installers because it
would let people nkow that anyone can install ac themselves, and that
the installer's service isnt really needed. Many professional products
routinely overcomplicate to put customers off diying, and to help
justify the price.
