The "self-entitled doesn't apply to Me personage" these days seems to be more prevalent than ever and its sad...

    What's the advantage of high T (winding) motor

    I say watts in, watts out, there are many things that determine suitability of motor given the application as AHicks sez, you usually trade one for the other,I would imagine a motor with less turns would be a bit lighter, without getting into reluctance, counter EMF and things of that nature...

    The"Tech tree".

    ( retract) I cannot express my dislike for Patio heaters( mostly huge decks which I assume are a form of patio) the huge often unused decks are toxic monsters, whatever happened to pure simple grass that was mowed occasionally( lawn furniture) or even xeriscaping, this energy glutton generation...

    The"Tech tree".

    It worked surprisingly well when I became"adapted" to it, I imagine some of these vendors rebadge or even sell the designs to other manufacturers, mine is steel and cast iron, is there any advantage to the much more expensive soapstone stoves? I have seen many "Vogelzang" stoves that look to be...
