The fire display of that stove is so beautiful!
I really like these little fans -- that they don't require wiring, slow and stop as the stove cools, and now they're so inexpensive!
Thanks for sharing, I have a mate that has one over a year and he says it's great, so bought one today.
These Fans are super awesome just purchased one on the Web today! Getting ready just incase the power goes out again this Texas winter!
I think your videos are great, pretty much doing the exact same with out property at the minute! keep up the great videos.

Would have been a better example of air energy created by using an incense stick. When they burn, they give off a scented smoke which is handy for seeing where air currents go. Placing this in different distances from the fan would have shown its efficiency.
On a windy day, they are great for finding drafts in your house or dwelling.
Good demo', any air circulation works,
I like the 3 blade ecofan ultra
Been using a fan like this since 2009-10'ish, can't remember. But they work like a charm, and is a free cheap ass way to disperse heat for a one time payment. I use the Dual Fan version.
Does yours turn clockwise, mine turns other way, is it ok, really turns counter clockwise.
Are 2-3-4 or 5 blades better?
Is this working in floor front of fireplace?
what brand of stove is it and what is a power rating/output? thank you for great videos
Audiophile Vintage clearview vision 500. Take a look on the channel I have done reviews and install videos. Output 5-8kw I think.
I recently got one and was used, but turns the other way, is it ok, turns counter CW.
Cool video, do u get any rattling from the fan ? I was given one and once it gets up to temp it starts to rock and rattle 🙁
Jeez. It never occurred to you to _balance_ the damned thing?
What this rude person wanted to say was make sure the fan blades are bent in equal proportions so it spins evenly. I knocked mine off once and it rattled until I bent the blades back again👍
A bit late to the fan tread, I have one of these fans, my multi fuel stove provides water for my central heating, the water jacket surrounds the firebox,sides, back and top as a result when running at normal temperature the top of the stove does not reach the minimum temperature that makes the fan operate. are there any alternatives that would start operating at a lower temperature ?
question - we have log burner build into the wall and covered with tiles around. cant put anything on it. if l get a fan and put it just at the base, in front of it -would that work?
The fan needs to sit directly on the stove so not really suitable. That said, any free standing fan may help distribute heat from an inset stove.
Hi - do you think this would work with a gas stove? The stove definitely gets much hotter than radiators?
thanks
Saxilby Joe It will work,I have one on a gas little Wenlock.
It works with my oil radiator when it's on full. It doesn't spin very fast though.
It is not the motor that generaties electricity but the Thermo Electric Generator ( or TEG ) located in the middel that generates electricity if there is a difference between the upper and the bottom part.
im really curious...will this work in conjunction with a clay pot heater? (one you use a tealight candle) if it rotates around 45 degree
2 years late but yea it will you might need to start it off spinning but it tends to spin with the slightest bit of heat once you start it off
I’ve a small 5kw stove put in my small sitting room so would I need on
Catherine Jordan. Probably not.
In fact the heat is converted into electrical energy, not kinetic energy. The electrical energy drives the electric motor which drives the fan. You need to put the fan at the back of the stove so that the air blows _over the top of the hot stove_ and heats up.
Carl. What do you think the energy given off by a fan is? a *moving* fan? I'll give you a few seconds
Kinetic energy.
He has the fan exactly where is supposed to be.
Check Peltier elements.
Is it not to hot wit the fan????
great, i wanna get one for mine. question id like to ask..how long was your wood burning in your stove before you had to road when making this vid? and did you leave it burning long before you closed the air controler/vent? did you close it fully too? thanks
Watch his video to find out 🤔🙄😂
Mention already if you watch the video you will know.
I think the extra injection of science from Jo made all the difference.
Does anyone know if one of these fans would work on top of a say round kerosene heater? I don't have a stove thermometer yet so I don't know how hot they get on top.
This heater is a 22,300 BTU/hr. KeroHeat convection heater...
Only needs 40*c at the base to start fan. So imagine it would work to some degree.
@@TheRestorationCouple Ok, thank you!
Is it a Peltier powered motor?
It is :)
Thermoelectric motor ?
Or, if you have a ceiling fan, turn it on and make sure it is pushing air down. Same thing.
iv got one on my multi stove with boiler but doent work what im i doing wrong
It needs heat at the base to work. Boilers dont heat up enough as they can be insulated. Test it on the cooking stove, not on gas one ;-)
@@fyuhvftyhvf my stove heats all radiators over three floors plus hot water
Jane Heseltine how much did that cost you to set up. If ur in the uk can you recommend any installers
Why is your stove inside of the fireplace? Doesn't the heat go straight up and out of the chimney?
A metal plate is fitted which blanks off the chimney allowing only the flue pipe to pass through. Obviously there will be a certain amount of heat loss, but not as much as you imply.
Should have checked the temperature on the sofa with just the stove burning, and then check again with the fan running.
So... is it worth it?
Nice video but the position of the fan is meant to be towards the back of the stove Graham the chimney sweep 😉😉
Graham Atkins ideally the fan should be sitting where the stove pipe is...
Graham Atkins it would be more effective if stoves had inbuilt fans, like some cookers.
You need to put the fan at the back of the stove so that the air blows over the top of the hot stove and heats up.
best not would fuel in the stove will disappear up the chimney before you could say MARRY POPPINS LOL
You're all wrong. If you actually look at the instruction manual for any of these thermoelectric fans, you'll see the manufacturers ALL recommend the fan be placed on the side of the stove pipe, exactly where he has his placed, to prevent overheating the peltier and damaging the fan. These fans have a maximum operating temperature that the middle of the stove can easily exceed. He's doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing.
I see on your insta photos of a digital shower is it any good
It's a small DC fan, and not a magic thermoelectric fan... However, there is a thermoelectric peltier plate between the bottom "hot" stand and the upper "cold" side.
EDIT: It's the silver plate sandwiched between the two halves.
load that thing up with Australian sandalwood, your fun will be a puddle of melted goo.
It’s a bilberry stove and has under da stove a back draft knob wen do yea open dat is it wen ur burning wood and close wen ur burning stove coal
she is right even when is she is wrong, otherwise to get nothing when you need her... haha
Use an incent and watch the smoke move..
Good idea! I knew there was a better idea than tissue!
Great to watch them working but they don't actually move enough air to make any difference.... or throw the heat. They don't even move a strip of toilet paper! Still love watching it do its thing though.
okay....you're wrong lol
Your understanding of Jo's statement was wrong!!
When you said that (at about 2 metres away) you could slightly feel the heat, that's what she meant about it possibly being the heat of the stove. Usually from that distance you might feel the heat naturally on your face, and holding up a tissue wouldn't prove anything.
Anyway, thanks for the great videos, and I hope Jo can now way I told you so :-P
Be quiet Jo
I dont think they really work to be honest 🤷♂️🤷♂️
You mean HIGH ceilings - not tall ceilings!!!
Dumb. If you had any sense you'd leave the thermopile where it is on the stove but remote the fan up near the ceiling _where the hot air collects_ to push it back down into the room and keep the air mixed- to prevent wasteful thermal stratification...
Get a life ya sad twat
That little fan is not moving enough air to affect the ceiling air temp. That's what ceiling fans are for.
