Direct Energy and Thermal Mass Build

I give the aforementioned for background that justifies the following experiment

This setup failed badly. D.E.A. fails

Direct Energy Application (D.E.A.) Thermal Energy Conversion

Luckily the Direct Energy systemwas tested before the wall was completed.

In under an hour the rocks had become uncomfortably hot. Direct Energy thermal conversion

It was necessary to re-think the placement of the elements.

Rather than incorporating the elements into the wall, it was decided to try relocating them into the floor beside/beneath the inside wall.

Direct Energy Thermal Application

Since the garage/lab where I spend most of my time cannot be insulated or sealed from the outside elements, this 2024 winter will require an adequate alternate means of heating.

Ugly porch walls

By adding thermal mass around the existing firewood stove conversion, will at very least help to maintain moderate temperatures for longer durations (even after the fire goes out).

Porch walls

I am relatively proficient with the use of direct energy for a few things such as water heaters, lights, fans, lighted signs, cooking, and even some rudimentary element heating. However to continually heat an open-air garage throughout the winter will require that something either be invented or improved upon to meet the necessity.

This project is using all of the remaining materials on this property (down to pebbles and only a few large rocks).
