Heating Element?

[Jonathan911217]

Would be cool to maybe have a heating Element that is power by filling it up with water and then power on with electricy?

you want a sauna?
Or an old fashion steam radiator?

Sauna?, Can i have a hottub as well?

[Jonathan911217]

I mean we have a sofa, so why not a heating element? In order to keep warm around area inside the bases that either requier another woodburner?

That's not an unreasonable suggestion, considering what we can already craft.

Like I said above; an old fashion steam radiator. You do realize though that what you show in the pic does not produce the steam? Those two pipes that go into the floorr are attached to a boiler somewhere in the building.

And I might add they use to be coal or fuel oil powered, not electric. Once electric was widely available people moved to electric space heaters.

You do realize there are countries (and even places in America) where both steam radiators and/or hot water radiators are still in use and not considered "old fashioned" as you say? Also, the picture provided by the OP is most likely a hot water radiator, not a steam radiator. You can tell by the two pipes and that the radiator doesn't appear to be tilted as a steam radiator would be. And yes, they can be electric.

Nevertheless, there is either a boiler or a hot water heater connected to it somewhere in the building. The radiator is not the only component...which was my point.

But imagine the added game play...

Add a steam engine.
That will give you the hot water and it will drive many machines.

As an employee for a condominium management company for 15 years, I can tell you that most apartment buildings in my city use boilers and zone valves and hot water radiators (smaller than the one in the link above) to heat the units in the building. The water is heated in the boiler or boilers with natural gas. There is no steam.

My home is forced air heating. Uses natural gas. Our climate in Alberta, Canada is too cold for just electric heating.
