Did someone say heat pumps?
I'm so happy this man nerded out about heat pumps for a few hours.
But now, all I see is inferior heaters.
It's the burden of knowledge
Having been on long term sick leave for 15 years means you have to do something with your time and I spend a lot of it learning new things to various depths. I now understand why some (though not all) older people are angry: when you know a lot about a lot you see how bad many things are. There's so much inefficiency, shit design, shit quality, shit shit everywhere. It hard to not let it get to you.
And as things degrade you remember how it was.
And this one is….. 1600 watts. Surely this “large” room heater will be……. Siiiixxxxteen hundred watts.
.......HOURS???
Bro's got multiple, hour+ long, videos about various types of heat pumps.
And somehow im riveted. Doesn't feel like droning on. I wish I could communicate like him.
Hours of videos about dishwashers too
This man taught us that heaters are indeed about as efficient as you can get in turning energy into heat through a little thing called resistance.
Hey that's the guy I see once a year at Christmas time!
Coming down your chimney?
No he'll be criticizing your choice of Christmas string lights, or lack thereof.
His videos are why I got a heat pump water heater instead of a standard one when mine died. I figure in summer I can hook the exhaust duct up to my hvac and get a bit of free air conditioning out of it, since I don't have AC yet. Tiny extra bonus piped straight to my bedroom.
I came here to see a picture of this man.
Name? Favorite link?
TechnologyConnections yt channel. I see his video on dishwashers mentioned a lot.
