Hey there, so I am totally new to the game. I move to my vacant land in less than 2 months and I have a question. If I build a Rocket Mass Heater inside my home, and attach a copper coil to a thermosyphon style water tank... can I run the "cold water" lower pipe into some PEX and through my floors and then up to the base copper in the unit to be heated, and then re-added back to the water tank as hot water? Or am I grasping for too much here? I lay in bed in my forced air city home thinking of this over and over and can't see why not other than the thermosyphon wouldn't be strong enough to bring the water through that length of piping. Any ideas or thoughts? Would I need to introduce a small pump to help the water along or am I just a lunatic all around.
