How do you recharge the battery bank? That's a lot of energy.
Last night was a huge success.
The two heat bulbs raised the temperature to 85 in my bedroom, and so I cut one off. One single 150w bulb kept my room 75 with the heat alreasy in my room.
Charging a battery bank can be done many places, but the key is making it through the night. I would charge at a library or mcD, or anywhere I could find.
It was the warmest night I have enjoyed in a while.
These ceramic heat bulbs were not the first attempt at heating this year, as I have purchased a small butane heater to help with warmth.
The Kovea cupid heater runs about fix or six hours on a butane can that costs 2.20. This is a very efficient heating system, as below and behind the unit does not heat up as expected.
Hereat, I decided to wash my electric blankets, and the kovea cupid helped me dry the blankets efficiently. One load in a dryer would cost about two bucks, and that gives me six hours of heat for drying laundry.
I also am considering how to hook up reptile heat lamp bulbs for drying laundry.
I have collected a heat powered stove fan to the front of the kovea cupid, and it gives a little bit of air movement to help with drying clothes. The fan spins very easily with the heat from the the cupid
