I had in mind an 8 inch heat duct about 2 ft long wrapped with a spiral of copper tube soldered to it. It's mounted over the laundry tubs so it wouldn't need a catch bucket. Anyway where I live the summers are too short to spend in my basement, I will get back to this project next winter.
I am tracking kWh compared to the resistance heater and will be able to report that next week. I am also measuring the water taken from the air and will compare that to a dehumidifier that I use.
