Yah n3pro, but can you heat your house in 30 minutes from first match light, with a little old plain cast iron wood stove, all winter long on a chord 'n half maybe two, of wood? Heck, i paid better part of $500 on two magic heats so far that havent lasted 10 years. The flu-master has a 10year warranty just by itself AND it cranks out heat you couldnt get with a row of magic heats lined up. shoooooot.

so you are telling me that you are heating 1300 sq ft on 1 1/2-2 cords a year, and heating yourself out in a matter of minutes, where as before you used twice as much wood and it took twice as long to heat it up?


im calling bullshit on this. if you are going to come here and advertise, make it believable.

Yes, thats what i'm saying. of course the two back rooms dont get heated quite like the living room and kitchen areas due to their position in the house and the adjacent hallway, so its more like 900 sq ft getting getting direct heat. And i am not an advertiser or else i'd be able to tell you how exactly this thing works, but all i have is a brochure i got and the info sheet i got when i emailed their website.

I checked the top flue pipe and it seems to be just as hot as it was without the flue-master on it. I dont have a flue thermometer but i cant feel any difference in the flue temperature above the unit. The literature states the unit collects the heat before distributing it, so maybe thats the reason. As far as I can tell it works just as described. I can tell you that the heat coming from the register is many times hotter than it was with the magic heat and anyone who thinks i'm kidding should check it out for themselves and quit being so judgemental. I dont understand why everybody here is so resistant to the idea that theres something out there better than what they got?
 
Well, tell us where we can obtain these wonder devices. The website sure doesn't. At least it didn't last month and I ain't looking again like I did after your first post and found nothing.

As to you questioning why we don't accept anything new, well the concept is bullshit until proven different. There are ads that say I can clamp something on the gas line in my car and triple my mileage. They don't work. And I know where I can buy them.

And yes I know about the guy that came up with this thing a few years ago. And he hasn't been heard from since. He probably ran into a little thing called UL testing.

THANX FOR THE "COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY" line/spin which is actually true for all flue heat extractors= i learnt sumthing

It's about time.

Oh well in that case, Nikola Tesla came up with free energy in the 1800's and nobody seems to be using that. Probably cuz UL didnt approve. :-)

Used to be a term in the computing world. "Vapor ware". Which you seem to be pushing in the wood burning world. How has that thing Tesla proposed to transmit electricity without wires working out?

Free energy - I need to get me some of that. Powering that ghost busters thingamajig to keep all the "free spirits" locked in is getting expensive.

visit the boston science museum, theres a tesla exhibit---not that it has anything to do with this

"Japan Wants to Power 300,000 Homes With Wireless Energy From Space
Japan has serious plans to send a solar-panel-equipped satellite into space that could wirelessly beam a gigawatt-strong stream of power down to earth and power nearly 300,000 homes.

The satellite will have a surface area of four square kilometers, and transmit power via microwave to a base station on Earth. Putting solar panels in space bypasses many of the difficulties of installing them on Earth: in orbit, there are no cloudy days, very few zoning laws, and the cold ambient temperature is ideal.

A small test model is scheduled for launch in 2015. To iron out all the kinks and get a fully functional system set up is estimated to take three decades. A major kink, presumably, is coping with the possible dangers when a 1-gigawatt microwave beam aimed at a small spot on Earth misses its target.

The $21 billion project just received major backing from Mitsubishi and designer IHI (in addition to research teams from 14 other countries). "

Get back to me in thirty years on this. :lol:
 
I met a guy this summer who's building a perpetual motion machine in his garage. He wants to power his generator with it.

I like this part: "A major kink, presumably, is coping with the possible dangers when a 1-gigawatt microwave beam aimed at a small spot on Earth misses its target." Gee, ya think? Might cause ringing in the ears and other small problems!
