LOL this is what's so funny about all this. I looked into a wind generator. Cost and everything even with government subsidies at the time in tax breaks would take about 20-25 years to break even. Life expectancy of the units I looked at? 25 years. Now that was just tied into the lines with no other changes than making my own electricity. Selling the extra to the power company. No battery storage system or anything else. Run off of my power when I could and theirs when I can't kinda thing. A decent generator isn't cheap by any means. The companies selling em sure made it sound good. But that's why you don't see more personal setups.
Like this storing heat idea. May sound good up front. And it may well work. But like with my basement. How much is it going to cost to break out the old concrete (I'm too tall to raise the floor) buy the materials and install the system and then re-pour the floor? Then what's the wind genny gonna cost. At 63 will I ever break even or am I just spending money to make an environmental statement? Kinda like here. When it's 30 or colder electric cars don't work well at all. So it's a 6 months a year car here. So about the only folks here with one have it to make a point and it sits unused for 6 months. Awful expensive statement.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
