I'd been thinking about a water-based garage solar heating system and
come to the conclusion that overheating in the summer was the big
problem. But this circulating air idea looks as if it has legs. Surely
all you need to do to stop overheating in summer is to close the vents
into the garage whilst opening vents into the unit so all the unwanted
heat can escape. What would be really k3wl though would be to use all
that waste heat to drive a refrigerator/air conditioner.
