I have some ideas for a heater, but I would like to explore using body heat before getting into a a heated design.

I like the aluminum channel on the wall idea, that is better than a vertical pipe because it takes very little interior room.

I could install a 3" cable hatch near my feet as the outside opening, and run six feet of aluminum channel along the wall at about 3 feet high, with the open end of the channel on the wall above my head.

What type of things can I do to make sure there is adequate air flow? I could open the vent near the roof, but that would let warm air out. I would prefer to exhaust cold air, which is near the floor.
