heat-powered fan


This fan sits on the woodstove and when the stove gets warm, it blows the rising warmed air out into the room. No electricity, no batteries! Off the grid!

A thermocouple converts the heat to blade-spin. If the fan slows down, I know the fire needs another log.

Tech pen and w/c on Strathmore recycled drawing paper (called Windpower paper--appropriate!)

Being a kind of a lover of things that are metallic: gears, railroad wheels, etc. This jumps off the page right toward me. Love it!
