The whirlybirds work by letting the rising warm air spin the blades. I
wonder if putting the intake lower in the solarium and the whirlybird
highest in the cold house would do the same? The house being colder
would be like the outside? Or does the whirlybird need a breeze blowing
by to get it started?

if you want to run duct, put a whirlybird vent outside, as long as the
intake is in the bathroom and the duct runs through the solarium it
will start drafting and likely pull the warm solarium air into the
bathroom. similar to a cold smokehouse

Cool, ( or heat ) That has me thinking the right way, could even
build
something using one of the R refrigerants that boil much lower temps?
I have solar there but don't want to waste power on that if I can do
some kind of passive pump.
We eventually will have about 7K watts more solar there but this
is just
to take advantage of the situation this winter to keep the house side
from freezing up so hard.
This place has basically been abandoned for 10 years...
