As Bob said at least once, "people on this list are worried about 

everything" or something close to that.  In my mail today was an 

advertisement about a new advanced quartz infrared portable 

heater.  It reminded my of a small unit that the office girls were 

using in a local office to keep their feet and legs warm.  They said 

it really worked.  This company claims more than I can believe but is 

it worth looking into?    www.edenpure.com   I have survived over 

5000 hours of flying exhaust type heaters and like a lot of people 

have been concerned.

Does this "work"?  Yes, it puts out heat - the exact same amount any 

other electric heater of the same wattage does.  It might be safer than 

other heaters if it really operates at a lower temperature, but a watt 

is a watt.

It wouldn't even "work" in your airplane because it requires 120V, not 12V.

If you want to stay warm, put an Eggenfelllner Subaru engine in your RV 

or Glastar or???  Safe, warm, coolant powered in-cabin heater.  Not 

affiliated with him, just a happy customer.

Wow, how did the "Egg" conversation jump over here from the -10 list?

If you want to stay warm with a 12v electrical system, look into 

electric snowmobile pants and jackets.

Or use motorcycle clothes that plug into 12 volt accessory outlet, very

warm.  Very low power consumption because its close to your skin and covered

by your outer clothes.

IIRC, the Vari-eze crowd was installing 12V ceramic heaters to keep their

toes alive in the winter.  Sorry, I don't recall any specifics, but I think

that those who employed this technology were happy with it.  Then again,

they WERE in plastic airplanes...  ; - )

The only 28v VariEz I worked on was for a builder in Canada who

wanted to fly in the wintertime . . . and wanted to use all-electric

heat. We put a 28v, 100A alternator on the airplane. About 5A of

that was used to run the airplane, 80+ amps were used to heat the

cabin. Most of the "toe warmers" offered by suppliers to OBAM aircraft

were selling 300W fan-heaters. This guy built a 2200 watt fan heater

and reported "usable" performance for all but the coldest days but

even this boss hog heater was too small until he spent a lot of time

sealing the cockpit.

Can't you still buy 12V hair dryers that the trailer campers used to use...?



Obviously, sealing the airframe is a prerequisite.......

Thanks to all who have made comments.  I will stop in a motorcycle 

shop and see just what the power consumption is at the first 

opportunity.  If they can keep their toes from getting frostbitten I 

won't make a heoric effort to close up every leak in the 

cabin.  Ha.  Cleone  PS;  Wonder what an 82 year old would look like 

in leather.?
