HEAT POWERED STOVE FAN. An amazing piece of engineering. This one is going to THE TENT. 

That fan looks great some of rhe comments help to understand it better. This is a must buy! Thanks joe

Never seen one of these before in my life. That is a cool addition to any home. It looks real nice.

If you will look at any narrow boat video you will see that they all use this type of fan. And yes they are awesome. Any way, love your videos keep them coming.

That Sure Was Nice Gift Joe, It Will Be Well Used At The Tent.!!!

Thank you so much for showing this! Totally fascinating!

Bought one of those last year for the cabin. It blows warm air back into the bedroom. Works fantastic. Love the vids bro !!

got one of these before the winter came in and it is much the same as yours , I have open plan sitting room but the fan is positioned to push hot air at the stairs , the top of the house is real cozy now , you will notice the difference in the tent but don't expect massive leaps in temp , cheers from Scotland

That is super cool....amazing is right. That will help circulate the heat at the tent really well especially throughout the night. I can't wait to get one of them myself. Cool video - nice gift from Zach and Samantha too.

I really like that Joe and if Jerod and I get to putting a cylinder stove in the bus I am absolutely getting one of these!! Thanks for sharing this with us!! Juddie J & J TOA

I keep looking at them, always was skeptical because of the price, you convinced me now.

That is awesome! I have never seen such amazing invention! 😄😄

The turkey gobble at the very end of the video was awesome

I will have one now....thanks great review

Magic! Just like how a needle on an LP reproduces amazing music. Got 2 of them on order.

That is an awesome piece of engineering right there! That’s gonna Work awesome! Just started a bit of a warmup here in upstate NY too...35 degrees today after a stretch of below zero, got to rinse off the truck!

Haha, nice day at 34 degrees. Perspective is everything! Stay warm!

I’ve always wanted one for my wood stove in my wall tent. It’s the cost that scared me away but, will most likely take the plunge very soon. Thank You for your videos !

Outstanding Review / Run Down - THX

Looks awesome - a great Christmas gift!

That is amazing. Thank you for the information.🌷

I've been thinking about getting one of these for our off grid cabin, but was a little hesitant. After watching this video, I'm convinced it'll work great! Thanks for the info! 👍

Ok. When you thought you have saw it all. That Fan is Awesome. I need to find one of those for my cabin. Looking forward to your winter trip up north video. Ya this weather is crazy. Here in WNY its going to be 50 tomorrow and melt off whats left of the snow and the forecast is for Ice Friday and a chance for 14'-16" of the white stuff on saturday.

Wow! I've seen them advertised before but never thought they'd work that good.

now that's cool stuff. should fare well at the cabin.

A buddy has one at his cabin,we where hunting in below 0 conditions after Christmas and you'd never know it the way that fan moved warm air throughout the cabin,wish they had those years ago!

Great video and cool fan.

Thermo electric fans are the nuts! Have one in the Bus on the wood stove...Yes a wood stove in a bus...Thanks!

Perfect for those cold days

that is amazing... and fast & quiet too.

Wow! Someone recommended this for my buddy heater. I had to look it up. Didn’t know they work this good. 😳

Saw one of these for the first time new year weekend . I had never heard of them. It was the coolest thing .

Good video as always.

I've never seen anything like that before Joe. Thank you for sharing and I look foward to seeing the next tent video. I've been missing those.

Awesome never saw this before

Amazing..always wondered how well they worked.

Great review. I've heard some people say they didn't like theirs, but maybe they got the small one. I should get one for my car. xoxo from rainy Arizona, 67/44f today. ☔

Thanks joe,I’ve always wondered how those thing work.i see them time to time sometime on tv,pretty neat alright..score for the tent👍

I’ve been looking at those for my backyard cabin, they just look so cool and are functional. Would do a good job spreading the warmth.

I bought one a couple of years ago and I think it is far more efficient than the electric box fans that you add to your stove pipe. I think you will like it for sure.

Wow after saying that I'm definitely going to go get me one because I want to put a fan by my stove but I'm scared to put electric one there cuz the quart of milk but now I can do that that's awesome thanks for the video

Those fans are pretty awesome!! Can't wait to see how it works at the tent. Take care joe

never seen one, works off grid, perfect for the tent.

Neat! Thank you for sharing!

These things are amazing and will push air for many many years Surprised you don't have one already

I have one and love it. Really helps circulate the warm air. You’ll like it.

I have two on my cast iron stove and they work great to spread warm air. One of them have a bimetal strip underneath, that lift the fan a bit to cool it down if it gets over heated.

Can't wait to hear how it does up in the Tent.

We bought 2 of these some ten years ago, and put it on top of our wood stove, they work well, however the fan is kind of a mild blow, but still does work. I remember that they were so-o expensive when we got ours, they seemed to have come down in price considerably. I'm a bit surprised that you just first got one...

Nice bit of kit there Joe.

What an awesome gift! That's a game changer, right there. Happy New Year, Joe.

There are several different makes/models of that type of fan available. Will you post an update with the exact type in your video?

That one is a lot bigger than the ones I have seen. Looks like it will actually move some air. Sould be perfect at your tent to circulate hot air around the main room anyway. What make is this one?

Going to need to get my hands on one of these also.

Extra cool mate.

I have the same one but with smaller blades and they do work great.

Joe, when you make your winter trip up to the tent you should go over to the backwoods cabin and do a video on all the animal mounts in the cabin and tell the story behind each.

That is a pretty strong fan! I can feel it all the way in Louisiana. 🤣🤣🤣🤪👏👏👏

First.. great video. That fan will be great. Always wondered why I never seen one at least a electric one behind your stove pushing the hot air around!!

Would have thought you had one of these fans already!

Hey Joe I hope ur ready for the snow storm on tomorrow. Stay safe my man

Very cool!

Thanks for the demo Joe I have been thinking about one of those for my house wood stove for awhile. They are not inexpensive though think $100for the larger model or more

Very nice!

Very simple, it uses a peltier module to generate electricity to turn the fan. The power generated is the result of the p-n junction arrays which has a hot and cold side, the bigger the temperature differential over the unit, the more power. The fancy metal on top is a heatsink keeping the differential temperature top and bottom as big as possible. The unit is however very inefficient... only ~12%. Thermo-electric cooler boxes use them, and they can be stacked for increased cold for definition on camera's if you power them. Heat applied generates voltage, power supplied generates heat and cold.

I never knew these things existed. Wow.

strong fan.........Blew my mind

I’ve seen those, but figured they were a gimmick. Might have to get one! Very cool....

Pretty cool fan!

That's pretty cool. Can you provide a link so I can purchase one? Thanks!

great gift! might stir up the dust and we all know how you love dust blowen around the tent lol

It generates power with heat couplers. Like are used in gass appliance . Thanks for the video,al

That is surely neat!

Very cool Joe! I too have seen these things but never up close or used one. Looks like it would be very worthwhile in a setting such as your tent or any enclosed area that uses radiant heat for warmth.

We have one at the family cabin in Lapland. Works great, i think it's pretty old now?. Cannot remember, like its always been there, maybe the original designer is from Finland?. lol. Cheers Moose.

Super Cool!

That is the coolest thing

Yes they work great , you will enjoy one of those for the cabin or tent and one for the work shop...WE need a update with pictures or video of the turkeys feeding again...

So this could be placed in any "standard oven" and make it a convection oven? Wow cool stuff. 'Thanks!

Cool fan

peltier element/s can be used in reverse with electricity to cool down ice boxes and similar... quite cheap to buy and fun to build stuff with... for example fast coffee machines for camping :)

That is amazing!

The specific shape has little to do with the function. There is a thermoelectric panel sandwiched between the top and bottom (white part). The shape at the top is designed to have a lot of surface area and for the fan to draw air through it. When placed on a hot surface a temperature differential is created between the top (cooler) and bottom (warmer) sides of the TEC and it creates electricity. Interestingly it also works in reverse. If you were to spin the fan quickly once side of the TEC would get warm and the other would cool down.

Now that is something.....

A friend of mine has one of these, unfortunately it stopped working and my friend is looking for an answer to why it stopped working? Any idea guys? Could it be that the eletrons in the TE materials have run out? Or what else? Thanks.

Vary cool kinda mind blowing

Does the fan blow cool or warm air? I can imagine a well-thought through placement of concrete slabs connectors that harnesses sun heat and then powers a ceiling fan. That’d be awesome!

Totally 😉 amazing

I have the same model. It worked great for about 1 month. Now it works intermittently, no telling when. Same stove and temperatures. I’ve tried dusting it off and checking connections. Any ideas?

Wow, awesome.

What model is the Fan? That is a nice size one.

Haha it keeps running when removed. I never expected that 😂🙌

This is very off topic but I was wondering if you know off the top of your head what type of shower pump you use in the tent shower? So many on line I don't know what to pick. Please help!! Thanks

I have 3, 1 in the basement and 2 at the camp. They realy due the trick on a air tight stove when you have not been at the camp in a while.

Yes I wouldn't advise putting it on a cooker ! But they are great I've been using them for a few years makes a massive difference to my woodstove , they do have a lifespan the first I got (4years ago) still runs but is slower than a new (same model) I got last year Saying that they boost the efficiency of the stove so much (I actually use less wood) that they are really worth it Enjoy

I wonder if I could rig one up on a Big Buddy propane heater it has a fan but it don't work so good the batteries don't last that long

Hey Joe, what is the brand name of that wood stove fan? There are so many different ones online but I like the one you have at your tent.

good idea :-)

Magic

I have one on a pellet stove, but it doesn't start as easily and doesn't turn as fast. I know that if I can create more heat mass it will spin faster. I have a cast iron pot and I will flip it upside down to see if it will hold the heat better to start the fan and keep it going.

I have a tradition ceramic gas log fireplace. Can I set a fan like this on the hearth to pull some heat into the room?
