  • Although working, some unknown event caused this heater's plug and the extension cord it was plugged into to melt

    I love synchronous motor. I have a clock that use telechron motor, wich are just synchronous motor, and it keeps the time really well with only the 60 hz of the wall. For the oscillation, it's just the same priciple as a normal fan. It convert a compleat turn in to a half, no need to change the direction of it. Great video, heating devices are welcome, it's -8°c here so heat is needed, even though I love cold, 18°c is the lowest that I ok with. I have an old heater, but I need to change the power cord, because it is loose and great little video by the way.

    why is mine so noisy ? is it because of dust build up, i was thinking of tinkering with it just so it makes less noise

    I had a Mainstays fan heater and it started to make noise

    We had a similar heater from the mid to late 90s, the cord and plug end did exactly the same thing.
    This is just a theory of mine, but I think the heating element is more powerful than the electrical system in the heater can handle, the elements is more like a 20 amp not a 15 amp I think,
    But on average most people have 15 amp breakers running most of their house not 20s

      Interesting. Well, as I showed here this particular unit drew a normal amount of current. About 13A on the high setting.

    Hi themaritimegir, did you plug the motor into an AC power supply?

    The on/off, speed dial knob broke off ours. How can I get a replacement? How to contact the company that makes them? Thanks.

      You'll never get one - these are disposable products, and the company will almost certainly not sell parts. Toss it and get a new heater.

    I don't really get why they'd connect the heating elements that way (both in series for the low setting, then shunting one out for high); surely this uses thicker resistance wires (so costing ever-so-slightly more) than the more straightforward approach of using one element for low heat, and both in parallel for high. (Although to be fair, many "suicide showers" also use such an arrangement.)

    Plugging a heater into an extension cord in general is not recommended since extension cords are not made to handle it.

    2:46 to 2:54 -- Usually I hear what sounds like a computer hum in the background there. 7:36 to 7:44 -- the fan (or the motor) sounds like a motorcycle. LOL

    Hmm....I have a 1500W oil heater plugged into an extension cord...maybe I should not do that

    • @themaritimegirl
      @themaritimegirl  9 лет назад +1

      I wouldn't worry as long as it's a decent quality 15A rated cord. That cord was one of a few we bought at a dollar store some 10 years ago. They fit the plugs loosely and tended to spark when you plugged and unplugged stuff. One by one they were discovered with discoloration around one of the sockets and thrown away... This one was the last of the bunch.

      Ah. I have been using it like such for months and not had a problem, so I guess I'm good

      If you have to use an extension cord with a heater, use one that's heavy duty (there are appliance-rated extension cords), short as possible (longer = more heat buildup), and avoid off-brand/stuff that's not checked by national safety experts; cheap cords might overheat or get kinda melty due to arcing from a poor fit or cheap undersized wire.

      Emily, when you said this: "short as possible (longer = more heat buildup)" you simply and clearly taught me why a shorter cord is better. I appreciate that! :)
