I read about one installation using long steel or iron pipes. (for better conductivity).
IIRC, a bed of medium rocks had been placed under the pipes, which had
holes drilled in the bottom, to drain off any water that formed from condensation.

However, the air input to that system was coming from outdoors.
Where the air is sure to have more moisture..


If I had something like that in my yard, it would be full of water,
due to the high water table we get here..
