Hi folks, was looking up a patent, then stumbled upon this particular incandescent electric heater patent.
The device is claimed to produce 11,000 btu's from 600 watts input.
I've built a small model using a regular 100 watt light bulb, though i'm using an aluminum cylinder which completely surrounds the bulb.
I drilled many 1/4" diameter holes in the cylinder and have a small fan blowing into the other end of the cylinder, with an exhaust hole in top of heater box.
So far it seems to be working ok, though it may need a little air flow tweaking.
Just wondering what you folks think of the claims of this heater.
Keep in mind, the typical space heater uses 1500 watts and gives around 5200 btu's for that input.
So this heater patent, seems to be at least 5 times more efficient.
