Save +90% of your heating cost during the winter using an old Iranian technology ( Korsi کرسی )

- Winter 2022-2023 is coming and the gas price has increases significantly during the past few months. I thought some people might have issue paying their heating cost, hence they are going to suffer the cold of the winter. In this video I explain a very old Iranian method that you can use to stay warm during the cold months with very minimum electricity cost.
This is called Korsi ( in Persian کرسی ), which is basically a wooden table of height ~0.5 meter and width and length of ~1 m. The table is covered with blanket and a heater (in modern days an electric heater, while in the past a pot filled with ash and fired charcoal). The reduced volume and less surface area of this space and high thermal resistance of the wall due to blankets, creates a small yet very warm space that only need a small amount of heat to stay very warm. You need to put your leg under it and stay warm during the day and night, also you can sleep under it and stay warm while other parts of your house is cold.
if used properly, with only ~ 1-2 kwh you can stay warm for 24 h.
It has some risks such as starting a fire, or burning your foot if you touch it to a hot heater, but in general is safe.
Most Iranian people have used it in the past, but now a days due to widespread gas pipeline across the country, only is sometimes used in villages, or in case someone wants to renew the memories of the past.
Finance: N=64

Available budget (N): 2293-100-64*(64+1)=-1967
Storage limit: 2^ln(2293)=213,42
I like how you change your content from tesla coils to engineering to food cooking keep it up brother nice videos
Iranian Korsi/Japanese Kotatsu...great minds think alike.
I've built a little office in a small closet; I'm in there now - me and my computer keep it warm, and if it gets colder than that I have a small space heater to make up the difference. Maybe not as comfy as a korsi, haha, but it's maybe easier to get work done.
Interesting! Also, a light bulb can be used instead of the heater. I mean one of the old light bulbs with low efficiency! Because these old light bulbs convert the majority of the energy into heat (about 90%), they actually operate as heat sources. To regulate the temperature, you can use a dimmer circuit. It is cheaper than using a heater. The light bulb should not be large; 100W is enough. I made the Korsi before in this way.
Thanks Reza, indeed that is a good idea, if the light bulb is protected with something and is hanged from the ceiling of the table, it also provide more space for the legs.
Good idea, but the fan would be missing and the bulb gets hot to the touch .
خسته نباشی
کرسی درست کردی
دمت گرم
🙃 مرسی، گفتم تکنولوژی رو در اختیار همه مردم دنیا بزارم دیگه 😜
Very informative, life saver
Nothing screams safety like sleeping with a pot of burning charcoal under a table thats covered with a blanket😂
🤣 No the charcoal is covered with ash totally so the burning charcoal actually is in the center of that pot covered all around. if used properly, it can be managed, but indeed all ingredients scream against safety :)
@@HVE I guess waking up in the morning to the smell of bacon comes with it 😄😜
@@yaykruser 😅, This is a proven technology and has been used for centuries by millions of people. The pot will not get extremely hot. Only every now and then it barbecue your foot :)
داداش شماتیک کویل تسلا که ساختی میتونی پست کنی تو انجمن تا ما هم بسازیم؟
سلام، نمیدونم کدوم تسلا کویل مد نظرت هست ولی هر چی هست رو توی ویدیوها نشون دادم، از رو همون فریم ویریو که متوقف کنی میشه عکس گرفت.
@@HVE همون کویل تسلاکه ساختی با برق خونه کار میکرد ۴۰ سانت ارک میزد جای دیمر میشه از بالاست مهتابی استفاده کرد؟
so in other words you made a kotatsu with a bucket of ash
Indeed they are the same. It seems in both Iran and Japan they have used this method of staying warm during winter.
In other words a storage heater.
brother just buy an electric blanket... it does the same and it is much safer ..
Thanks, I just show this because it is a clever idea of old time when nothing was available. On the other hand, Electric blanket are effective to some degree. But if you only use them in a cold house, at night you are likely to move around and push it aside while asleep, and that is when you will get cold.
it's not the same.
What would you do if electricity went off around the world
