Sparrowhawk Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 'Twas the week before Christmas and the cozy fireplace video was on loop on the TV - and psychologically standing in pretty well. Except. Puny mid-temperature radiators are no match for the feel-good factor of a stove's heat on my face, transporting me to summer sunshine. Which got me thinking. Can the radiative aspect of a stove be faked to give the full experience? Domestic IR panels are at a too low output to notice so that's a non starter. What about a bar heater like this? At this point I have to acknowledge I'm not exactly practical, so over to you boffins. Can it be done and how would you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeSharp01 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 You world need to surround the TV with radiant bars and reflectors then it would work provided you could stop the TV melting at the edges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceverge Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 This would stand very nicely behind out TV pointing at our faces, beaming beautiful IR radiation into my pores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
