I am going to get one of those ones with a Sterling engine for home before next winter, I don't give a toss if it helps warm the room, I just want to sit and watch it spinning https://www.warpfivefans.com/products/GB/stove-fans/stove-fan-high-heat?content=stirling-engine-kits&locale=GB

I have this one and it's nice (I have the sidewinder).  You can get it with copper blades as well (you'll need to contact Warpfive for it as it's not on the website).

If they do it is bound to drive up the price of boats. (Vide today's media reports!)

Well they must be working then cause boat prices have gone up since Mikey's post.

I blame Rusty for posting the link to this thread again!

'Wind chill' only applies when the air is colder than you.  Or if your clothes are wet.

In all my time in the UK I have never experienced air that was warmer than 36.9 degC

 

 

I am thoroughly enjoying this thread (starting from the beginning as not using Chicken of the VNC)

So far I have reached post 276...

Yes , that seems to work - I'll make a prat of myself some other time

I have no idea of what I had no idea about at the time when ideas were in short supply. I can hardly remember what I had for tea tonight let alone one of the twists and turns of this enthralling thread.

If you cant remember, let me help.

you scientifically proved beyond reasonable doubt that eco fans may or may not work.

we also proved that due to the coreolis effect, substantive use of eco fans in the uk, are causing drought in the eastern side of australia, and causing polar bears to ‘partner up’ earlier in the year. The massive wind i faced during the australian summer cycling to work was clear evidence, backed up by its reduction on the homeward leg as fires in the uk  died down towards uk dawn.

There was a great deal of science but the flat earth brigade still swear that £40 quids worth of eco fan will save £200 quids worth of coal a year and halt global warming.

remember?
