Yeah, werenât these actually banned because the wings were sharp and cutting kids pretty badly?
In case of fire I strongly disagree. Fire is not some flimsy superficial aesthetics, fire is something primal.

At Kupfernigk said, looks like it was falling in the end. I assumed that the rotors started to melt and if lost liftâŚ
Hot air is less dense, could be the factor.
I really do not do Aristotelian chemistry. I prefer that stuff with quarks, gluons and electrons.
It happened too fast for that. I am pretty sure it was a case of loss of lift due to turbulence.
Yes, and that as well. Air at 3-400C entering the rotors would halve the lift, because it would have half the density of room temperature air, so it would definitely fall.
Somebody really needs to do the experiment.
Some day I will have a Russian stove.

A fire crackling in the hearth and smelling of pine resin, a cat purring on oneâs lap, a bottle of a suitable booze, and a good book about quantum physicsâŚ

Too small area and no actual exposed fire. But it is pretty.
The house I grew up in had a stove half that size and it got 1200 sq ft to 80f in no time :D. Perhaps this is more your style?
At a different castle (I have photos somewhere) I could stand with my arms outstretched and jump up and down in the fireplace.

Now THAT is a nice one!
A bit bigger than what I usually visualise myself in front of, but amazingly nice.
The ability to roast a pig there just adds to the utility.

At our previous house, which was three stories, the stove was roughly in the middle. By the time the air got to the top it wasnât very hot, so it was highly efficient and heated three rooms. The downside of a really efficient stove is that it needs ideally to burn anthracite because the low temperature at the top of the the flue would cause the tars from wood to build up until one day there is an exciting chimney fire. That happened at the house before.

Uh, what about gas? Couldnât you have a gas fireplace/stove that operated on the same heat distribution principles without using coal or wood?
We have underfloor heating for everyday use, but we use an unapologetically inefficient fireplace for evenings if weâre all together in the living room. Winter evenings gathered around the basement gas furnace donât really do it for me.
Our last house had a cast iron gas stove in the living room, which was more efficient and a good compromise at the time.
Since the finding of large gas reserves and the closure of British anthracite pits, thatâs exactly what we do now, as an adjunct to low temperature large area central heating.

I want a fireplaceâŚ
