The heat pump has become a common fixture in many parts of modern life. We now have reverse-cycle air conditioning, heat pump hot water systems, and even heat pump dryers. …read more Continue reading Big Heat Pumps Are Doing Big Things
Wood heat offers unique advantages compared to more modern heating systems, especially in remote areas. But it also comes with its own challenges, namely, keeping the fire going at the …read more Continue reading ESP8266 Keeps Tabs on Wood Stove Temperature
If you find that you can never get the temperature quite right in bed, a new gizmo called the Homiffi could help. It cranks out either cool or warm air and also acts as a clock, a wireless charger, a Bluetooth speaker and more.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Sleep box delivers the right temps and more to your side of the bed

Scientists in Japan have developed a new organic device that can harvest energy from heat. Unlike other thermoelectric generators, this one works at room temperature without a heat gradient.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: Energy, Ther… Continue reading Thermoelectric generator pulls energy from room temperature heat
Supercritical geothermal power holds the promise of meeting humanity’s energy needs for millions of years, but how practical is it? A new analysis by Karthik Subramanian of Lux Research suggests that it may lie somewhere between improbable and impossib… Continue reading Supercritical geothermal power: Limitless promise or impossible dream?
Electricity flow is generally invisible, silent, and not something that most humans want to touch, so understanding how charge moves around can be fairly unintuitive at first. There are plenty …read more Continue reading Modeling Home Heating Systems With Circuit Simulation Software
Water can hold a huge amount of thermal energy, and a new system to tap into this resource is being trialed in Scotland. A startup called SeaWarm uses heat stored in bodies of water for buildings, pulling four times more heat out than electricity used….
