well then, outside, in an insulated box, with a couple of hoses to circulate
the hot water inside and a $35 used 1984 dodge omni auto radiator and fan to
heat the house. if you don't have space for one of those, you might hang one
of magicaire's all-copper 2'x2' shw 2347 duct heat exchangers in a hole in
the floor or under a ceiling fan. it can transfer 45k btu/hour between 125 f
water and 68 f air at 1400 cfm, with a 0.1" h20 pressure drop...
the genny box might also contain an unpressurized insulated epdm-lined plywood
box to store heat and transfer it to a 42 gallon pressurized galvanized tank
inside to preheat water for showers.
