The combination of cheap materials, low water use, and leveraging abundant ambient heat make it an appealing device.

Heat produced by human lifestyles could affect urban climates as much as fossil fuel emissions do. Regional climate models of Moscow, published in Izvestiya, Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics, show ...

We’ve never torn one apart ourselves, but it boggles the mind just a little bit to learn that these cooling fan controllers generate heat to do their job. We’d bet we’ll get shouted down in ...

His design is conceptually similar to an induction cooktop, where alternating magnetic fields create eddy currents that heat metal cookware. But rather than using alternating currents through ...

A heat pump is more efficient than a furnace because it doesn't actually generate heat -- it simply relocates it. Although it doesn't generate heat, it can still provide a comfortable temperature ...

Incredibly, the reaction between iron and moist air that produces rust is a very exothermic process and generates lots of heat. Unfortunately, this particular reaction takes place so slowly that ...

That's where a heat pump water heater comes in. By reducing the amount of electricity needed to generate heat, these water heaters can be two to three times more efficient than traditional gas or ...

The generation of so much heat after nine years of negotiations may reflect the fact that this is the diplomatic end-game rather than an unbridgeable gap and things will soon cool down.
