Modernization of district heating
Here's a proposal for a remake of one of the old Soviet district-heating systems. What I found especially interesting was the household survey on heat use. It's a slice of life from a place I've never been.

Check those relief valves
A friend gave me a heads-up on this photo essay of an oil-fired boiler that exploded in a house. Let's be careful out there.

Nothing to do with heating
But the inventor is a Dutch heating engineer so that counts for something. It's a good story about thinking outside the box. Literally. How might you apply this sort of thinking to heating? How about a bladder boiler? It gets larger as you add more water. Or telescoping baseboard radiation? One size fits all! Your turn.

A new type of toilet seat
How about this bench that's warmed (indirectly) by raw sewage? The ladies seem to like it.

How Australia will go solar
Start with 50% of the homes using electric water heaters. Then stop allowing those heaters. Give folks a choice between natural gas and solar. Make sure the natural gas is expensive. Easy! Read all about it here.

Great food for thought here
How about this new insulator? Aerogel. Stick with the video until the end; it's worth it.

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it?
Thanks, but I think I'll give this one a miss. These bones are too old to be doing this much for the environment. Takes all kinds, I suppose.

Finally
A decent proposal from Mr. Hoyt to Mrs. Ambler in the fall of 1900. Enjoy the time machine.
