FREE ENERGY FROM CHIPPED WOOD AND COMPOSTING
Clear instructions for building a 40-cu. yard compost pile with embedded recirculating hot water heating system, along with links to other valuable sources of information.
published July 14, 2025
Here is a revolutionary approach for heating rooms and generating hot water. Author Gaelan Brown has worked with engineers and compost scientists to refine methods of composting that can heat greenhouses, barns, buildings, and hot water, all without combustion.
It seems almost too good to be true: make high-value organic compost while generating reliable combustion-free heat. But it works, and this book is your practical introduction. With detailed case studies of large scale engineered systems and plans for constructing small DIY systems, you’ll find step-by-step illustrations and photos to guide you through the process. A review of calculations to help you estimate the heating capabilities of various approaches and other planning tools make this book invaluable for compost heat recovery on any scale.

Reviews
― Bill McKibben, environmentalist, educator, bestselling author, and co-founder of 350.org“Organic materials make up about two-thirds of the solid waste stream. Galen Brown’s book will add momentum to the growing―and vital―movement to treat this waste as a valuable resource. As he demonstrates through a range of fascinating case histories, composting offers more than the most earth-friendly solution for feeding crops―it can also be a source of energy. The Compost-Powered Water Heater is rich with detail and includes clear instructions for those who want to create the innovative systems it profiles.”
― Carl Smith, editor in chief, Green Technology“It’s not often you learn about a new approach to renewable energy that’s easily accessible to homeowners. The Compost-Powered Water Heater is an indispensable handbook for anyone interested in diving into the details of how to do this for your own home or farm.”
― Kate Stephenson, Yestermorrow Design Build School
“The only thing more surprising than the massive potential for compost-based heat capture is how long it’s taken to get a book on the subject. This is a topic and book the world has needed for a long time.”
― Ben Falk, M.A.L.D., Whole Systems Design, LLC
“In addition to a fine how-to guide on constructing compost-heat recovery systems, Gaelan documents the many errors that inventors fell victim to in efforts to produce an efficient system capable of going the long distance of multiple heating seasons. Whether he is discussing the merits of a truly static system―complete with documentation by major universities―or the troubles of getting a stalled system operational again, this step-by-step manual makes you aware of all the potential pitfalls and how to avoid them. All said, this easy-to-understand guide is a must-read for serious compost-powered projects.”
― Paul Comey, former Vice President of Environmental Innovation, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
“As industrial civilization begins its inevitable descent from the peak of fossil fuel production, technologies like compost-generated heat will be our lifeline to a decent and sustainable future. Gaelan Brown shows how these methods represent a holistic rethinking of the ways we inhabit the planet.”
― Ron Miller, PhD, author/editor Most Likely to Secede
“After three decades in renewables, this took me by surprise―who would have thought you could heat your house or greenhouse with compost! Heating with compost is true ingenuity at work. It’s ingenious.”
― Paul Gipe, founder, WindWorks.org
“This book has given me inspiration to try out different techniques next time around, and I see where I made beginner’s mistakes on my first mound. It is a very useful book that proves beyond doubt that there are endless possibilities for capturing and using the heat generated by composting organic material, both at home and on larger scales. We all know that the world needs cleaner energy sources and restored soils capable of supporting food production. With compost heat recovery you get both! And it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. After reading this book you’ll want to get out there and try building a compost mound for yourself.”
― Joshua Fenton Cabell, Research Technician, Bioforsk Organic Food and Farming Division, Norway
“This book is practical, complete, useful, and well written. I learned a lot and am impressed with the innovation and the investment opportunity for compost power. It’s an exciting opportunity that doesn’t need government subsidies to be viable.”
― Doug Casey, bestselling author of Crisis Investing
Since 2018 at https://eatingtoascend.com I have taught how to avoid and remove nanotechnology, protect from EMFs, the direct threats of AI and Mind Control, how to remove parasites, heavy metals, toxins, molds and yeasts, and published two books, in addition to two Substack publications. I have warned against “Wearables”, which RFK, Jr. is now mandating for what will soon become TOTAL FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE MEDICAL MARTIAL LAW HUMAN GENOME DESTRUCTION. The time is now to learn that this is all about to come crashing down upon you, my loved ones.
As always, first and foremost this website and its blog are for my biological family who I was estranged from by the evil machinations of my ex-husband Kurt B_____s, the secretly gay crossdressing atheist Washington D.C. newsman who did all he could to destroy me, my family, and tried to take my life not once but twice (after beginning with my horses first). This is all documented fact, As ELOCUTRIX, meaning One Who Says The Truth, after having spent the past decade devoted to learning the reality of this human experience and how to survive not only physically, but above all spiritually, a seeing many lives and souls saved, I am now devoting my time to those I gave birth to: my children and grandchildren.
I uploaded these for you, my daughter Emily and my son Max, my granddaughters Emme and Rowan, and my grandson Albie.
I love you and miss you and pray for you always. I do not want you to spend eternity in Hell separated from God.
Please, please PLEASE DISPOSE OF YOUR ROBOTICS, REPENT OF ANY ‘COVID’ AND OTHER VACCINATIONS YOU HAVE TAKEN AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST. “Christianity” – and I make air quotes here – is NOT a religion – IT IS A RELATIONSHIP with the Creator Himself, who took human form to release all who would believe in Him from the Devil’s serpent seed 3rd strand genetics which infested our DNA.
To all who may be accessing what I share here, I truly hope and pray it is an answer to your prayers.
