How often do you use electricity? I agree, the question is somewhat strange for a modern person, and one would expect a completely logical answer - all the time, but nevertheless, having enveloped their homes with wire meters, not everyone thinks about alternative sources of electricity. One of such sources under the name "indigirka" will be discussed.

The company "Thermofor" in cooperation with the St. Petersburg company "Crioterm" decided to combine a thermal electric generator with a long-burning furnace, obtaining a solid fuel heating and cooking stove, and thereby giving people the opportunity to reduce their dependence on standard wiring.

The Indigirka stove is the only solid fuel heating and cooking stove in the world that is capable of generating electricity during operation ...

One of the advantages of infrared heaters is the ability to work with various control devices. First of all, these are various thermostats that maintain a given temperature.

It is also possible to connect programmable control devices. With the help of such devices it is possible to perform a variety of tasks. For example, you can set the heater to turn on on individual days, and even hours. All of the mentioned automatic devices can also be used to control the heating of an infrared warm floor.

Mechanical thermostats for infrared heaters are produced by many companies, while their parameters differ slightly. Almost all are designed for installation on a wall, the type of installation of the invoice or mortise, which allows you to use them with any type of wiring ...

From a natural point of view, traditional heating systems do not work properly. First, the air heats up, and then everything else. Under natural conditions, everything happens the other way around.

The natural source of heat on Earth is the sun. The sun's rays have a very wide spectrum, but it is its infrared component that heats the Earth, people, plants and all objects, and from them the air heats up and creates comfortable conditions for human life.

It is by this principle that infrared heaters work. The air for infrared radiation is absolutely transparent, therefore infrared rays freely reach heated surfaces and objects.

The intensity of thermal radiation depends on the wavelength of infrared radiation: short-wave rays are obtained at a temperature of the radiating body above 750 ° C ...

Various electronic remote lighting switches can be divided into two large classes of infrared and radio-controlled. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these devices, why are they needed at all, if the light can be turned on with a simple switch?

Here you can recall how already in time immemorial had to go to the TV and use the handle to switch channels, and sometimes even pliers. Do you remember? Perhaps the first devices equipped with remote control, just became the TVs.

A bit later TVs appeared VCRs, DVD players, and all of them were equipped with infrared remote control. Such a number of infrared remote controls prompted some companies to develop switches, dimmers and sockets controlled by infrared rays ...

Many people are very familiar with the white coating that appears on the electric kettle TEN, which must be cleaned or eliminated with citric acid.This coating is an insoluble calcium and magnesium salt falling out of the water when heated. The higher the temperature, the more active the deposition occurs, and in the hottest area.

The concept of “hard water” characterizes precisely the amount of calcium and magnesium. In hard water, soap foams poorly, and the precipitate in the kettle constantly boils when boiled. Almost all water from wells and boreholes is hard.

At the heating heater of the boiler, the same process of salt deposition occurs. Over time, this layer becomes quite thick and significantly impairs the transfer of heat from the housing of the heater to the water, which means the cost of heating additional electricity ...

Nowadays, photosensors are most often used to control lighting on the street and the territory adjacent to the house. (fromtwilight switches).

The photosensors turn on the light depending on the amount of natural light. Somehow it turned out that everyone had forgotten a little the most popular technical solution relative to the recent past - turning the lights on and off using the daily time switch.

Even before the advent of photoresistors and other photocells, various automatic devices with clockwork were actively used to automate lighting. These devices turned on and off the lights at a predetermined time of day. The principle of operation of these relays was based on the rotation of a software disk with holes ...

Nowadays, almost everyone can assemble and get at their disposal their independent source of solar-powered electricity (in the scientific literature they are called photovoltaic panels).

Costly equipment is compensated over time by the ability to receive free electricity. It is important that solar panels are an environmentally friendly source of energy. In recent years, prices for photovoltaic panels have dropped tenfold and they continue to decline, which indicates great prospects for their use.

In a classic form, such a source of electricity will consist of the following parts: directly, a solar battery (DC generator), a battery with a charge control device and an inverter ...

Electroconvectors Bravo, Roda SORGE, advantages and disadvantages of convectors, fan heaters, carbon and halogen household heaters.

Despite the fact that the principle of convectors is the same, many models have their own distinctive features. Consider these features on the example of several models of the company RODA. The control of these convectors is electronic, there is an LCD display. These convectors have the following distinctive features that expand the functionality.

In addition to the BRAVO series, RODA also produces convectors in several more series. The simplest is the Roda STANDARD series. These convectors have an electromechanical thermostat, power, depending on the model, is 0.5 - 2.0 kW, they are designed for mounting on a wall ...
