Military-Issue Thermoelectric Heater Fan

http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=497342

Beef up your heater's effectiveness! Thermoelectric fan was designed to operate in tandem with all flat-top style modular heaters. Originally designed for and works great with the heater / stove offered on the front cover.

The Fan rests on the top, and circulates air around the heater, increasing efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. Super-quiet operation requires no external power to work, converting the heater's surface heat into electrical energy. Independent tests showed that simply adding the Fan resulted in an up to 50% heating-fuel savings!

@LOPEZdJUNGLIST then I recommend you to take the cooler off your CPU.

ever heard of CONVECTION ? this item is 100% not necessary

Save a dime's worth of electricity while you throw out half your food.

"it is converting heat output from the stove into electricity to do so"

That is not all it is doing. It is also DRAWING heat from the shell of the stove and putting it into the room.

The more heat that gets drawn into the room, the less heat has an opportunity to leave through the flu.

Any fan drawing heat from the stove would do the exact same thing, but the thermoelectric fan allows the heat of the stove to power the fan, rather than a separate source of electricity.

clever portable design I am guessing this will improve efficiency by 10-20 percent. I have been working on designing a central air system that works on this concept but involves MUCH MORE intricasy.... I expect it would cause a single wood stove to heat even a 4000 sq ft home completely with my design

@HomeDistiller your terminology is wrong. "...with a fan vastly out performs any convection heater.. " what you are advocating IS convection. without any fans, the stove has some degree of convection, but mostly radiative heat transfer. the benefit of this device would be that it needs no electricity, so works during power outage. Another benefit is as the stove cools, it will not be pushing cold air around. You may send me a check. Hope it doesn't bounce. I'm mean about things like that.
