Cheers Joe,
worth a go.. leave on overnight , 10 hours at 60 w = 600wh
(tho' tbh a 60 watt bulb would do the same.. )
It'd be interesting to see if the 60w would put out enough heat inside, to defrost the ice on the windscreen, outside.. and i'd guess it'd still be quite chilly inside?
The fan heater for 15 mins @ 2000watt , gives out similar heat in total,
tbh... inside the cabin,
I think , you need mega heat, if you want it done quickly
which'd ideally come from the mains,
as a battery will really struggle
or a propane heater
(but risky because of the co2 produced)
(I tried a camping stove using a butane canister,
but it stopped working when it was minus degree... as the expansion of the gas inside the canister drops its temperature even more)
From a camping site
"The actual boiling point of butane is -0.5 C (below this it wont become gas, so wonyt ignite the stove)
The boiling point of propane is much lower, at -42.1 C, so it is much better at turning into gas at low temperatures around 0 C than butane is."
Maybe something like running a freezer in reverse would take the heat out of the atmosphere and put it into the car (like it's hot at the fins at the back of a freezer)
or a heat pump might do too , as maybe running the air con backwards
Anywho, it'll be summer before I get anything going :D :D
or I could just put some thermals on :D
Cheers
Liam
ps those heat bulbs that are used in halogen heaters 400watts are oinly £1.50 each to buy ...
