ecofan

I like this simple Ecofan which uses the heat generated from a fireplace to blow the hot air forward instead of allowing the heat to escape upwards into the top of the room. It works on some sort of thermal energy being released in the air… There’s a video inside of it in action.

This is what it looks like when very hot power lines give off heat in cold Chicago weather.

Watch this video from TED of Doris Kim Sung talking about her various projects involving thermal-reactive metals. Her inventions and research help aim to curb over-heating and under-heating issues in architecture. I want my house outfitted with her metals.
