Gino wanted to hear about the heaters because he needs any form of heat, badly. I don't think he cares what they look like. His house, where is your location, Gino, has been flooded and frozen, and he said he need the heater badly? These help and moves the cold air out of the corners while the sun shines. They will not heat a house by themselves, but they really do help, some and it all adds up. What is needed is improvement and some kind of heat battery storage to heat at night. Some day we will have it. A parabolic heat coil would add heat but to much at about 2,000 degrees and hard to control, requiring wiring and motors and controls. I have ideas for a greenhouse that could be delivered to a house with a 5 foot deep basement (made of fiberglass)and many things inside it. It could be put on the south side of a house and power and heat the whole house. With clay in the basement, it could store heat and even grow food. That is just a dream. Takes alot of money and engineers. culater
