I am building my own type of heating system: A meander of copper pipes under the floorboards of my house is filled with water. The water is in a closed cycle and gets warmed up by an instant water heater, which gets its power from a wind turbine capable of delivering 400W. While this may not sound like much, consider that the water heater will be fed with pre-warmed water all the time, as "what goes around comes around" I am hoping to create some serious heat with this (well, at least enough to keep an old Victorian house cozy at temperatures around freezing point). Would you say that could work? I am very unsure of myself, because I know nothing about plumbing and heating.
I'd be very grateful for input.
Thanks.
