Re: [VAL] Dr J? a question about heating



Sounds like a great plan, Dr G.

Have you seen those wood burners that stay out in the yard that have a big 
boiler, it heats the water that it sends to the house where it warms the 
house by a closed loop system?  Another loop sends water from coils in the 
boiler and supplies hot water to the house for washing, etc.  Old farm 
houses have had these for years and lately I've seen some really nice 
stainless units.

As far as the Airstream and heating with water -- maybe it could be run 
through water lines hung about midway up the interior walls where it could 
make a loop(s), maybe even have a radiator along the line somewhere with 
some small computer fans behind the radiator to 'push' the warm air around 
the interior.

In my mind's eye I would envision a small electric water heater or an RV 
water heater with the Hot Rod installed which is run off the AC power supply 
at a park or even a generator. ;))))

How's that sound?
