Lol this happened to me a few times, I always play with a bug zapper and I took the rectifier off so it is ac, and I use it to engrave and blacken metal, one time touched ground and the probe, and it cramped my arm i could not move it for a bit and with my other hand I had to turn off the modified bug zapper lol

We are drowning in Inefficiency
Immediately uses 4000 watts power
@Game Over Inefficient at heating your body though.
hypocrites... aren't we all?
@Game Over yeah but what about the efficiency of production and transmission of electricity it runs on.
By the way only a small fraction is actually absorbed by the people sitting under it and most of the heat gets away which means it is really inefficient to use heaters outdoors.
One thing to admit though. You aren't supposed to meet people indoors. Yep, it is a waste. However better than avoiding contacts completely

I think a good addition to your home outdoor heating would be a set of roll-down plastic walls to block wind and capture some of the hot air generated. It would be a minor efficiency improvement, but probably a good comfort improvement in windy conditions.
He should install rectractable walls or curtains in the sides exposed to the elements to help retaining heat and greatly reduce energy loss.
large thick curtains will do the trick perfectly

Thanks I was wondering about that
Thanks a lot, you are the first one who explained me those infrared heaters in a way that every one understand it. Especially with your temperatur equipment 👍❣
I boutht a infrared dark heater for my patio myself and it was a big dissapointment.
Need to change out the switch to a rotary timer so you don't forget to turn it off overnight running up the power bill unnecessarily.
That's a great tip! Safety first with things like this.
I would install a smart switch so I can start it before I go out.
It is directly wired into the breaker box, so good luck installing a timer switch unless your first name is Mehdi.
Please do upload more videos on this. I can't get enough of them... I really enjoy your videos.
3:30 burning wood for heating doesn't Hutt the environment much, because it only releases the same amount of co2 that the tree you are burning stored while it growed
If we as a global society were carbon-neutral, that would be correct, but since we're putting significantly more carbon into the environment than is being stored, it does have an impact.
You are technically correct. Trees are a significant way storing the carbon dioxide and you are just releasing it and undoing all the progress.
My environment is being hurt by smoke
@@nicholaslau3194 Doesn't the CO2 get released back into the environment when the wood is being broken down by bacteria anyway? Bacteria use it as fuel.
It can also just be further condensed when it breaks down. (Think hydrocarbon fuels. Coal and oil are very old trees.)
Enjoy your patio!

Thanks for the explanation, actually I commented on your other channel that the heater was a waste of energy but I was wrong, after this explanation I understood! Thanks a lot!
Worth bearing in mind that your IR camera will also be measuring the radiation from the heat lamp reflected by the surfaces, as well as what's emitted due to their temperature. This may be giving you erroneously high temperature readings, especially for surfaces that are particularly reflective to IR. For more accurate results you'd need to leave the heater running and then switch it off just before measuring with the camera.
Best usage of a thermal camera that I have seen in a while! Nice!

FYI: wood is renewable, so it doesn’t produce greenhouse gases*
But gas is not renewable, once it is extractes from the ground and burnt, it is done.
*more accurate to say that it produces just as much CO2 as if it was left in the forest to rot, and it will be reabsorbed when a new tree is grown in place of it.
Problem being that there are by far more trees being cut down than there are new ones planted.
@@ApfelmannYT I brazil? Yes. But in the US and Canada, they actually plant MORE than they cut. There are more trees in North America then 2-300 years ago.
@@ApfelmannYT swedish households are actually going back to wood heating a lot, since, like zoltan said, it doesnt really produce greenhouse gases, they just plant a ton of new ones to reabsorb everything they produced, many europeans countries(norway,sweden,germany,..) are seeing a increase in number of trees since there are so many being planted, only issue left with that solution are mono cultures.

Question though, regarding different solutions... aren't there under floor heating solutions that would work reasonable well for this situation? I imagine they can get very very expensive, but you know, just curious.
I live in a tropical country, so there's very little in terms of heating solutions in common knowledge... but because my city is relatively cold (it never snows, but it's 2000m up, so it can get way colder than most other cities), I've been hearing a lot about floor heating solutions recently.
Feeling heat in your feet isn't the same as feeling heat over the rest of your body. Temperature is relative, and it's normal for feet to be colder than the rest of the body. I'd call it a pretty nice amenity to get heated feet, but it's everywhere else that you really feel the cold

Your videos are insanely entertaining, one of the best channels on the platform, pure brilliance!
You don't have to sit really close to all of the smaller 1500 watt heaters. There's a design with a parabolic reflector (it looks like a desk fan) that can project infrared a pretty good distance.
This was the best how to video I've ever watched. Great humour! Loved it
When is your collab with Linus Tech Tips coming?
That was equal parts educational, and entertaining. Nice work.
Eventually installing some of those glass walls and whatnot would probably help with keeping the heat in.
but then there will be less fresh air.
Keep em open, but close them when you wanna use the space keeps the air fresh for quite a while, and then you can just ventilate again if needed.
There are walls on two sides, and a fence pretty close on at least one side. There should be little to no wind anyway. Also he said they knocked down the walls from the garage to make it a patio, why would you then wall it back in with glass.
just rebuild the garage as it was XD

The space is not cold since there is no way to loss the heat except radiating little energy
You can't define a temperature if there isn't matter. Temperature is a measure of microscopic kinetic energy.
When he says you'll feel absolute zero, obviously it is an exaggeration. Your body will only loose heat through radiation, but not a little bit like you said. It's quite a substantial amount. According to Wikipedia, the human body lose about 100W of power through radiation (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation#Human-body_emission).
@@MK73DS thanks
And the human body produce 80W of heat

The wood fire is, at least, carbon neutral
It is less common for electricity to be so
And if you burry the coals, (great for gardens and compost) it's actually carbon negative. I believe a properly built fire using low nitrogen wood (avoid alders) could be the best solution from an emissions standpoint.
Edit, avoid choke cherry wood aswell. They produce cyanide.
But the problem with a wood fire is that, even if it is carbon neutral, it really isn't because you are still releasing carbon into the air that was once stored. The only difference between a wood fire and a coal fire is that coal is millions of years old while a wood fire comes from wood that is generally less than 100 years old. You are still releasing carbon into the air. It can be considered carbon-neutral if the tree that was cut down to make the fire was planted again and becomes fully grown but that would take like 20+ years so if u don't replant the tree, it can be argued that is carbon neutral but from another perspective, it isn't truly carbon-neutral until the tree that comes from is fully grown again.
Also, wood fires are really inefficient since almost all of the heat goes straight upwards as was said in the video.
@@ronakde6647 Yep you could make wood fired genererator and make electric to power the heater he has, and it would be more efficient than burning the wood for heat.
@@ionstorm66 you will notice i didn't say efficient, i said emmisions.
@@ronakde6647 that argument doesn't really hold. Its a measurement over time. No body in the scientific community uses it in the fashion you just did. Similarly no one measures fps in a 1ms interval, or houshold power use, etc. Regardless one could still argue that leaving the tree to decompose would release the same carbon but some in the form of methane.
Fires are pretty cool. If you light them inside, they get rid of the walls and turn the inside into outside, whereas if you light enough of them outside, they fill up the atmosphere such that it holds heat as though it were inside! How convenient
Or just don't sit outside when it's cold

Good job and good narration. And I love being able to numerically measure the results.

I loves these videos! Oh and since we're both on the infrared wavelength ( pun intended) I just got an infrared toast oven Panasonic NB-G110P its AMAZING no preheating!! Downside the light literally turns on an off during heating
5:55 "ONLY 6 inches". *crying like a baby while watching the video*
Mehdi, IR and radiated heat pass through glass fine. @4:52 Infra Red does pass through glass about just as much as visible light does.
"you can use wood but its bad for the environment" yeah but a 4000w electric heater still produces like 2kgs of co2 per hour sooo maybe just stay inside during the winter?

Great install! I wonder if you could get some temporary walls to hang up in the winter to extend your patio's outdoor usability in the winter. Like tents have, those thick vinyl walls. Then I guess you have to go through the trouble of uninstalling and storing them when not in use...
This guy is pretty funny! He should collab with electroboom.
The green house gasses released when burning wood doesn't matter, they were collected in the past 5-10 years the tree lived for and were going to be released anyway when the wood rots and decompose.
Yeah that was bothering me. Burning wood is carbon-neutral
Get some of the bubble wrap radiant heat barrier and put it behind the chairs to reflect heat onto the back of your head and shoulders.
If you look at the pictures of chairs in front of fireplaces from way back, they have high backs, wings that come out at the side of the head level and some even had partial domes to trap your warm air around your head.
3:35 I'm laughing so hard at that. Have a sub and like on both channels. Thanks for your videos, and that unibrow.
Shoutout to all the heaters out there
The answer to the outside heating problem is solved by slowly spinning yourself around on a rotisserie.
boy I can see it now on his next video... "Making a motorized lazy Susan chair that will keep your warm!!!"
I did it before
I certainly cannot disprove that.
Or put a heater on all sides - indigenous style (not saying where) - really, walls, floor, roof and insulation, that solves a lot of hassles..
Great info. Love both your channels!
Well I don't think heating outside is a good idea at all. No matter how "efficient" your heater is, you're still heating a lot of stuff that doesn't need to be warm and wasting tones of energy. So maybe stay inside when it's too cold to be out?
Or do it like the Russian comrades. Freeze to death and back like real men XD
Or maybe enjoy life and care less about efficiency? This is not a business.
Your videos are great, thanks for the education and entertainment.

I assure you, this stuff is really nice. I like gas ones the best.
Love from India
Burning wood - as long as it comes from a decent source (which most wood does) - doesn't really have an impact on climate change, because the CO2 that the fire releases was captured by the tree just a couple of years earlier.
regardless of the fact that the electricity for his heater has to come from somewhere >.> which are mostly fossil fuel power plants lol
I'm glad that I made my house wiring in such a way that I can plug up to 7000W absolutely anywhere, even in the lighting wiring.
With the cost of electricity in my country, that would cost around 50 cents per hour to run. That's way too expensive for a heater that only warms you a little bit.

Heating the outside world? A REALLY great way to address global warming!

I mean, it's an infrared heater so it only heats the surfaces it shines on, it doesn't really heat air
Looks like a great place for a cigar and a scotch!
How is an electric heater anything but 100% efficient??? Does it accidentally do some useful work?
you are correct, however I think he meant that some of the heat produced is lost to convection and is not used to heat the people underneath.
