  2. Infrared heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_heater

    An infrared heater or heat lamp is a heating appliance containing a high-temperature emitter that transfers energy to a cooler object through electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the temperature of the emitter, the wavelength of the peak of the infrared radiation ranges from 750 nm to 1 mm. No contact or medium between the emitter and cool ...

  3. Alice H. Parker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_H._Parker

    At the time, gas central heating had yet to be developed, [citation needed] so people relied on burning coal or wood as their main source of heating. Parker felt that the fireplace was not enough to keep her and her home warm during the cold New Jersey winter, and designed the first gas furnace that was powered by natural gas and the first heating system to contain individually controlled air ...

  4. Gas lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lighting

    Gas lighting is the production of artificial light from combustion of a fuel gas such as methane, propane, butane, acetylene, ethylene, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, coal gas (town gas) or natural gas. The light is produced either directly by the flame, generally by using special mixes (typically propane or butane) of illuminating gas to increase ...

  5. History of manufactured fuel gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_manufactured...

    The first attempts to manufacture fuel gas in a commercial way were made in the period 1795–1805 in France by Philippe LeBon, and in England by William Murdoch. Although precursors can be found, it was these two engineers who elaborated the technology with commercial applications in mind.

  6. Cathode-ray tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube

    The only visible differences are the single electron gun, the uniform white phosphor coating, and the lack of a shadow mask. A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns, which emit electron beams that are manipulated to display images on a phosphorescent screen. [ 2 ]

  7. Heat pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

    A heat pump is a device that consumes energy (usually electricity) to transfer heat from a cold heat sink to a hot heat sink. Specifically, the heat pump transfers thermal energy using a refrigeration cycle, cooling the cool space and warming the warm space. [ 1 ] In cold weather, a heat pump can move heat from the cool outdoors to warm a house ...

  8. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    Central heating. A central heating system provides warmth to a number of spaces within a building from one main source of heat. It is a component of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (short: HVAC) systems, which can both cool and warm interior spaces. A central heating system has a furnace that converts fuel or electricity to heat.

  9. Gas stove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_stove

    A gas stove is a stove that is fuelled by combustible gas such as natural gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas, syngas, or other flammable gas. Before the advent of gas, cooking stoves relied on solid fuels such as coal or wood. The first gas stoves were developed in the 1820s and a gas stove factory was established in England in 1836.
