Title: fernette
Post by: blackfoot on May 18, 2007, 03:09:25 PM
Hi,  I was wondering if you think this heater can be connected to my main central heating system? (My intention was via a copper spiral on the outside of the drum.)  Any ideas as to how big the heater unit would need to be? Our floor plan is about 250 square metres.
Grateful thanks for any suggestions you might have,
Cheers,
Ivo

The (Eugene) Frenette friction heater is a UU-heater(less out- than input),
so it would be cheaper to buy an IR-heater or an heat-pump !
Actually the McMurtry friction heater (retro-development) or the new publicated
"Bernstein"-resistor-device can be a solution !

p.s.: search for "Frenette" in the Overunity.com-treads or Google it !
