In his video journalist Dylan Winter shows a simple and allegedly efficient way to heat up your room. The heater is constructed using a bread loaf tin, tea lights and two flower pots. When asked about his heater, he said: “People have told me that judicious positioning of flowerpots help to make the heating more efficient. I did not believe it but it really does seem to work. You get a nice flow around the pots and it warms the room up. You’d be amazed.” Intrigued by this, another blogger decided to test this heating system and ended up far from satisfied with the result. He described his impressions and insights on his blog, including even some expert opinions on the subject. Since this alternative heater is extremely easy to construct, a little myth busting wouldn't be too much trouble. DIY!
