Heat your home using a stirling engine powered stove-fan
8 August 2010 | Alternative Energy | No Comments
I recently heard that a Stirling engine powered stove-fan, could help heating a room much faster, using less energy. I Googled it and I found a special designed fan which can disperse the heat generated by a stove, in all your room, faster. Normally, a stove warms up a room gradually. With a Stirling powered fan on it, the heat will spread faster in your room, so after few minutes (a shorter time than before) you can stop the fire in your stove, saving some energy.
Heating a room may be a really serious problem sometimes, especially in winter seasons. Burning methane or wood it’s not so cheap today, so in winter seasons, heating costs could be very high sometimes. This stirling engine powered stove fan, named Vulcan, will spread the warm air constantly through your home increasing the effectiveness of your heating.
Vulcan stove costs about $150, and can be purchased with a 3 years warranty. The British manufacturer claims that Vulcan can improve heating efficiency with 35%. A stirling fan such as Vulcan, needs no maintenance or any source of energy (it will be completely powered by the heat of your stove. It will be placed on the top of your stove and that’s all) . It’s not so expensive so you can buy it! What do you think?…This fan will be enough for your home?
