DYNAMIC Heaters provide even heat distribution and warm floors.  The heater thermostatically controls, circulates, and recycles air at the floor for maximum use and comfort.
The DYNAMIC HEATER produces safe, clean, economical heat by using Infrared Quartz Elements.  Our heaters use a process that virtually prevents wasteful accumulation of heat on the ceiling.  These heaters deliver ultimate comfort by keeping the heat virtually even from "head-to-toe."

As the Quartz Infrared Elements operate, you will notice the heaters ability to heat does not depend on a high-speed flow of air.  Instead, the gentle flow of air promotes more effective heat mixing action and air stability at the floor.  These heaters will not burn, dry out, or otherwise pollute the air with impurities.  This protects the humidity level and air quality important to breathing comfort and personal health.  The DYNAMIC heater has no messy tanks to fill, wicks to clean, wood to hassle with, ashes to carry, and leave no soot film on walls or draperies.  The heaters are convenient to use, just plug it into any unused grounded 110 volt 15 amp or higher circuit receptacle, turn on and enjoy the soft, healthy heat!

Watt:  1500W (High), 750W (Low) 120V 60HZ,

Product Size : 18in x 15in x 15in

Push Button Controls : Temperature ,Time and High/Lower heater with IR Remote control
Heats up to 1000 square feet
Electronic thermos

Timer: 0.5Hour to 8.0hours

Temperature : 32F to 86F. . . .

The portable heater works on the principle of infrared heat, the same way the sun heats the earth, to give you a natural, comfortable heat.

It works like a convection oven, moving the air around to give you a uniform heat. It draws air in through the back, up and over the heating elements, and out the front. And since it draws in air from the ground (where the air is the coldest) and circulates effectively with two powerful fans, you will get a uniform warm blanket of air from floor to ceiling.


The heat coming out is 120-125 degrees. And the heat is an even, safe (no carbon monoxide), and most of all, very comfortable type of heat. The DYNAMIC heat heating chamber incorporates a cured copper panel for efficient heating by distribution of water molecules in the air. Ionized water molecules distribute the heat more evenly in the room than do the air molecules, which is why you eliminate most cold air pockets in a room by using infrared heat. It is a warmer gentler heat that penetrates the body more effectively than radiant heat.

Kerosene



Kerosene Fuel Primer

http://www.milesstair.com/kero_fuel_primer.html



Use only K1 Kerosene in a kerosene heater, nothing else.  You will pay about $10.00 a gallon at Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, etc., or you will pay about $3.29 a gallon if you pump it yourself.

Never try to use gasoline in a kerosene heater--gasoline will go BOOM!

Transport and store kerosene in a blue can.

How long can you store kerosene?  Answer:  If properly stored, kerosene can be stored for a really long time.

"Quote:
Having worked as a refinery chemist one of the things we tested regularly was kerosene. To answer your question; it will last almost forever depending upon what kind of container you store it in. Where I worked it was a single cut product, in other words it came off a distillation tower on one tray and was never mixed with anything else. It is a pure product that if stored in tin or steel will last almost forever. Plastics can absorb light & change with time so if I was storing it I would keep it in 1 gallon tin cans. The distillation tower makes the following products from heaviest to the lightest; coming off the bottom was Kerosene, next up was JP4(jet fuel), followed by B Naptha or what is more commonly called white gas or camp stove fuel. These are all strait run products that usually do not have anything added except JP4 which they add a conductivity agent which reduces the ability for it to static spark.

Any of these products above can have a very long life shelf life if stored properly unlike gasoline which can have up to 8 different components mixed together.  

Quote:
...Plastic or more correctly polymer compounds that are used for hydrocarbon storage must be able to withstand the hydrocarbon. It can be absorbed into the walls eventually causing the molecules to fail(soften) and breakdown. All the above ratings are for water, juice, acidic compounds etc.
... The UV will damage the container more than the kerosene.
I almost forgot.   We used Nalgene to store hydrocarbons in. Looks like plastic or polymer jug but is almost impervious to hydrocarbons."

Purchase a box of strike-anywhere kitchen matches, a long neck funnel, a box of disposable vinyl or latex gloves to wear when filling the tank (if you are bothered by the smell of kerosene), and a bottle of this kerosene fuel treatment http://www.amazon.com/GHP-Group-Kerosene-Fuel-Treatment/dp/B0044722EC, which you can find at Lowe's or other similar stores.
