A water heater is still sometimes called a geyser in the UK and South Africa. Maughn's invention influenced the work of a Norwegian mechanical engineer named Edwin Ruud. The first automatic, storage tank-type gas water heater was invented around 1889 by Ruud after he immigrated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (US). The Ruud Manufacturing Company ...
More than 352 thermochemical cycles have been described for water splitting by thermolysis. [21] These cycles promise to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water and heat without using electricity. [22] Since all the input energy for such processes is heat, they can be more efficient than high-temperature electrolysis.
The scientific basis for passive solar building design has been developed from a combination of climatology, thermodynamics (particularly heat transfer: conduction (heat), convection, and electromagnetic radiation), fluid mechanics/natural convection (passive movement of air and water without the use of electricity, fans or pumps), and human ...
The combination of solar water heating and back-up heat from a wood stove chimney [19] can enable a hot water system to work all year round in cooler climates, without the supplemental heat requirement of a solar water heating system being met with fossil fuels or electricity. When a solar water heating and hot-water central heating system are ...

Hydronics (from Ancient Greek hydro- 'water') is the use of liquid water or gaseous water or a water solution (usually glycol with water) as a heat-transfer medium in heating and cooling systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The name differentiates such systems from oil and refrigerant systems.
The head of Moldova’s breakaway region Transnistria has urged residents to burn firewood for heating and warned that blackouts cannot be avoided, after Moscow stopped supplying gas via Ukraine.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A lead prosecutor on the criminal case accusing Donald Trump of illegally holding onto classified documents has left the U.S. Justice Department ahead of the president-elect ...
