Portable Solar Heater

I am renting an apartment and the heat works with OIL, which is very expensive. I am trying to find some portable heaters that work with solar energy/panels. Does anyone know something about this? I have looked for info surfing the web, but...

Good question. I'm curious what your lease says about major installations. Coming from a property management background, I would definitely check the lease language first and make sure that it's ok to install what would be major systems into a...

Thanks to the Hungarians. Guys, this is automatic & extremely effective for its size.

It seems that there is a lot of confusion about how to use solar energy in an everyday setting. I live in an apartment, my bedroom is always cold. I want to use my portable oil-filled radiator to heat my room. And since I have exposure to the sun...

The previous answers are correct -- you really can't practically derive enough wattage from solar inverters to power inductive or resistance heating units.

However, I do have a more economical and ecological suggestion for you...

One thing I dont understand is there are a gazillion ways to produce heat yet heat is still very expensive. Heat can be produced from solar, electricity, fire, oil, gas, geothermal, friction, movement, crystal, radiation, bacteria, pressure, and even

I would recommend you use SOLAR POWER!Once you got them installed to produce electricity,You will not have to pay for the electricity bill

I have a barn and 10 acres about 15 minutes from my house. It is starting to cold! The only real shelter from the cold is my tack room. Its about 12ftx12ft. It is completely sheet rocked and insulated.

My problem lies with the only...

Can't you have your barn wired for regular A/C house current, like everybody else does these days? Our barn has that, and while we don't heat it, we do have a heater which we sometimes use in the office. That would solve your problem permanently,...

Which items would you put before others in a situation where you have to trek 40km across the Moon's surface during the lunar day. Keep in mind things such as lack of oxygen, one-sixth gravity and so on.

Item number 1 is the most...

1. Two 50kg oxygen tanks

Single most useful thing you can have. The good news is gravity is low so you'll actually be able to carry them.

2. Parachute silk

Portable shade.

3. Solar...
