Worth trying a few out I suppose. Have not heard of this air pumped earth battery! Thanks for the comment ^_^

Think of a passive solar design greenhouse having a basement filled with dirt and gravel. In that dirt and gravel every couple feet is laid air tight flexible drain pipes (kind of like the hot compost pile water pipes, but for air). For much of the hot summer, you have a fan blowing the hot air down there. It snakes back up for the air exit on the other side of the inside of the greenhouse. In the summer it cools and dehumidifies the air for you. In the winter the fan draws up the pipe the saved up heat from the gravel and dirt. For every foot deep it is supposed to give you a month of relative heat, something like that :D .. this guy in BC talks about it ..
