As a student electrical engineer, I can confirm that this is result of frequent shocking

@@randomidiot50 no usually not. But I am careless and when operating an ac power supply it gets the best of me
Lol this happened to me a few times, I always play with a bug zapper and I took the rectifier off so it is ac, and I use it to engrave and blacken metal, one time touched ground and the probe, and it cramped my arm i could not move it for a bit and with my other hand I had to turn off the modified bug zapper lol

Small correction: yes, burning wood releases green house gases, but it doesn't create them. All the carbon inside the wood is captured from the atmosphere. Apart from transportation, burning wood is CO2-neutral where as gas is not. (Well as long as you replant the forest)

Fires are pretty cool. If you light them inside, they get rid of the walls and turn the inside into outside, whereas if you light enough of them outside, they fill up the atmosphere such that it holds heat as though it were inside! How convenient
He should install rectractable walls or curtains in the sides exposed to the elements to help retaining heat and greatly reduce energy loss.
large thick curtains will do the trick perfectly
@@battleforevermore they are not electric powered, there is no way he is going to install those :D

Best advice I have ever heard
outlets in north america aren't always supplied by cables that can carry 20 amps (12 awg), they can be supplied by 14 awg (and that's the only gauge the quick wire holes usually work with). The breaker usually matches the gauge; 12 awg with 20 amp breaker is typical. 12 awg with 15 amp is not.
We are drowning in Inefficiency
Immediately uses 4000 watts power
@Game Over Inefficient at heating your body though.
hypocrites... aren't we all?
@Game Over yeah but what about the efficiency of production and transmission of electricity it runs on.
By the way only a small fraction is actually absorbed by the people sitting under it and most of the heat gets away which means it is really inefficient to use heaters outdoors.
One thing to admit though. You aren't supposed to meet people indoors. Yep, it is a waste. However better than avoiding contacts completely
@@youradvertisehere I've always prefered glasses
Your videos are insanely entertaining, one of the best channels on the platform, pure brilliance!
I think a good addition to your home outdoor heating would be a set of roll-down plastic walls to block wind and capture some of the hot air generated. It would be a minor efficiency improvement, but probably a good comfort improvement in windy conditions.
Please do upload more videos on this. I can't get enough of them... I really enjoy your videos.

I love the idea that he doesn't do his outrage/yelling bits in post but actually changes color temp of his lights.
Worth bearing in mind that your IR camera will also be measuring the radiation from the heat lamp reflected by the surfaces, as well as what's emitted due to their temperature. This may be giving you erroneously high temperature readings, especially for surfaces that are particularly reflective to IR. For more accurate results you'd need to leave the heater running and then switch it off just before measuring with the camera.
Congrats on 4 mill btw🥳

You don't have to sit really close to all of the smaller 1500 watt heaters. There's a design with a parabolic reflector (it looks like a desk fan) that can project infrared a pretty good distance.

heating the outside is exactly what we need to fix the climate, thanks mehdi
That was equal parts educational, and entertaining. Nice work.
Need to change out the switch to a rotary timer so you don't forget to turn it off overnight running up the power bill unnecessarily.
That's a great tip! Safety first with things like this.
I would install a smart switch so I can start it before I go out.
It is directly wired into the breaker box, so good luck installing a timer switch unless your first name is Mehdi.
This guy is pretty funny! He should collab with electroboom.
FYI: wood is renewable, so it doesn’t produce greenhouse gases*
But gas is not renewable, once it is extractes from the ground and burnt, it is done.
*more accurate to say that it produces just as much CO2 as if it was left in the forest to rot, and it will be reabsorbed when a new tree is grown in place of it.
Problem being that there are by far more trees being cut down than there are new ones planted.
@@ApfelmannYT I brazil? Yes. But in the US and Canada, they actually plant MORE than they cut. There are more trees in North America then 2-300 years ago.
@@ApfelmannYT swedish households are actually going back to wood heating a lot, since, like zoltan said, it doesnt really produce greenhouse gases, they just plant a ton of new ones to reabsorb everything they produced, many europeans countries(norway,sweden,germany,..) are seeing a increase in number of trees since there are so many being planted, only issue left with that solution are mono cultures.

Thanks for the explanation, actually I commented on your other channel that the heater was a waste of energy but I was wrong, after this explanation I understood! Thanks a lot!
3:30 burning wood for heating doesn't Hutt the environment much, because it only releases the same amount of co2 that the tree you are burning stored while it growed
If we as a global society were carbon-neutral, that would be correct, but since we're putting significantly more carbon into the environment than is being stored, it does have an impact.
You are technically correct. Trees are a significant way storing the carbon dioxide and you are just releasing it and undoing all the progress.
My environment is being hurt by smoke
@@nicholaslau3194 Doesn't the CO2 get released back into the environment when the wood is being broken down by bacteria anyway? Bacteria use it as fuel.
It can also just be further condensed when it breaks down. (Think hydrocarbon fuels. Coal and oil are very old trees.)

The wood fire is, at least, carbon neutral
It is less common for electricity to be so
But the problem with a wood fire is that, even if it is carbon neutral, it really isn't because you are still releasing carbon into the air that was once stored. The only difference between a wood fire and a coal fire is that coal is millions of years old while a wood fire comes from wood that is generally less than 100 years old. You are still releasing carbon into the air. It can be considered carbon-neutral if the tree that was cut down to make the fire was planted again and becomes fully grown but that would take like 20+ years so if u don't replant the tree, it can be argued that is carbon neutral but from another perspective, it isn't truly carbon-neutral until the tree that comes from is fully grown again.
Also, wood fires are really inefficient since almost all of the heat goes straight upwards as was said in the video.
@@ronakde6647 Yep you could make wood fired genererator and make electric to power the heater he has, and it would be more efficient than burning the wood for heat.
How is wood carbon neutral? I don't think he's cutting his own trees down to burn. There's definitely transport cost
@@danielrouw2593 so, unless he's cutting them down from his own property using manual tools it's not carbon neutral
Thank you Adam, people just mix up things.
The problem of deforestation is not the burning wood itself but the replacement of fixed carbon in the trees for concrete, crops or farms.
In theory (besides exploit, transport etc) the burning itself of sustainable wood is co2 neutral.
At least more neutral than peroleum, gas, mine coal etc.
Enjoy your patio!
5:55 "ONLY 6 inches". *crying like a baby while watching the video*
Good job and good narration. And I love being able to numerically measure the results.
Eventually installing some of those glass walls and whatnot would probably help with keeping the heat in.
but then there will be less fresh air.
Keep em open, but close them when you wanna use the space keeps the air fresh for quite a while, and then you can just ventilate again if needed.
There are walls on two sides, and a fence pretty close on at least one side. There should be little to no wind anyway. Also he said they knocked down the walls from the garage to make it a patio, why would you then wall it back in with glass.
just rebuild the garage as it was XD
Get some of the bubble wrap radiant heat barrier and put it behind the chairs to reflect heat onto the back of your head and shoulders.
If you look at the pictures of chairs in front of fireplaces from way back, they have high backs, wings that come out at the side of the head level and some even had partial domes to trap your warm air around your head.

I assure you, this stuff is really nice. I like gas ones the best.
Awesome video keep up the good work.
mehdi, your ceiling is haunted by rogue text ( 0:22 ) you should call textbusters for that
Super cool idea from Medhi to discuss and compare different heating solutions, this video taught a lot. I now understand why being in an infrared sauna feels cold at first - my caveman brain is used to massive amounts of warm air emanating from a fireplace, when I instead need to be patient and let the infrared light slowly warm my body up.
3:35 I'm laughing so hard at that. Have a sub and like on both channels. Thanks for your videos, and that unibrow.
Hi Mehdi, I like your video's and I live in North van as well. I am electrition first year in school and while i was in school we were watching yours videos in the class and it was usefull to learn more from you. If I have any chance I really want to meet you one day and learn more from you. by the way we live really close to each other
I want one of these but mounted to a wall in the bathroom vertically.
Shoutout to all the heaters out there
Love the patio space!
Question though, regarding different solutions... aren't there under floor heating solutions that would work reasonable well for this situation? I imagine they can get very very expensive, but you know, just curious.
I live in a tropical country, so there's very little in terms of heating solutions in common knowledge... but because my city is relatively cold (it never snows, but it's 2000m up, so it can get way colder than most other cities), I've been hearing a lot about floor heating solutions recently.
Feeling heat in your feet isn't the same as feeling heat over the rest of your body. Temperature is relative, and it's normal for feet to be colder than the rest of the body. I'd call it a pretty nice amenity to get heated feet, but it's everywhere else that you really feel the cold
Medhi, first of all i love your videos and learn a lot from you. But i wanted to tell that burning wood, although it releases co2, we must understand that will be stored againg by planting another tree. So, if you plant a tree and burn a tree you have not contributed to greenhouse effect. The problem is if you burn a forest and then insted of replanting, you put animals or crops. Then you have permanently substituted the trees for an empty space and have not restored the co2 that you released when burning.
Thanks for your videos! You are the best!
more infantile thinking about COMBUSTION, on a large scale.
@@daviddavids2884 of course if you make a whole life cicle yes you find co2 in transport, exploit, sales etc. But in a comon european wood business co2 cicle of combustion itself is closed. I'm precisley talking about the diferences between a wood busines or just simply permanent deforestation.
If you think that burning legal and certified wood leads to contribute to global warming, then you should check some facts.
In addition, electricity consumption (in some countries such as spain) and gass burning contribute significantly more than just burning biomass.
@@PauBas94 of course-bla-bla-bla-wood business-bla-bla-bla several idiotic commenters, here, think that (large-scale) COMBUSTION of a Natural hydrocarbon material is environmentally carbon neutral. YOU are Invited to provide scientific support for Believing this childish assumption. what happens in OTHER situations is one hundred percent NOT relevant, to this dialogue. d
@@daviddavids2884 carbon neutral just means that if you release 10 kg of co2 then you absorb 10 kg of co2.
If you grow 10kg of carbon, and burn 10kg of carbon, the process of burning is neutral.
If you own 1km2 of land and grow and cut down trees periodically, the emisions of burning that wood as lumber is neutral. That is just what the word neutral means.
I don't get what is exactly that you don't understand here.
Burning gas or petrol on the other hand is not neutral because you are extracting carbon from undergrond and releasing to the atmosphere without reabsorbing it later. This is what contributes to global greenhouse efect.
Edit: i think that you are refering to burning an entire forest to then construct farms or highways etc. Then you are right of course! Replacing a forest with concrete instead of trees IS NOT NEUTRAL and yes contributes to greenhouse efect.
The problem of burning a forest is not thr burning itself, but the fact that companies replace forest with concrete or farms or palm crops
@@PauBas94 ??? W T F ramble-ramble-ramble ??? jeezuss you can buzzOFF now.
The green house gasses released when burning wood doesn't matter, they were collected in the past 5-10 years the tree lived for and were going to be released anyway when the wood rots and decompose.
Yeah that was bothering me. Burning wood is carbon-neutral

Most North American homes are provided with heat in every single room (including the garage) by using a central HVAC furnace. In my experience, my new HVAC is equipped with both heating and cooling. The heating system is wired with a 100 amp breaker and about 2 or 1 AWG wire. It's also equipped with natural gas and we use it only when the electric system doesn't work.

The space is not cold since there is no way to loss the heat except radiating little energy
You can't define a temperature if there isn't matter. Temperature is a measure of microscopic kinetic energy.
When he says you'll feel absolute zero, obviously it is an exaggeration. Your body will only loose heat through radiation, but not a little bit like you said. It's quite a substantial amount. According to Wikipedia, the human body lose about 100W of power through radiation (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation#Human-body_emission).
@@MK73DS thanks
And the human body produce 80W of heat

Great install! I wonder if you could get some temporary walls to hang up in the winter to extend your patio's outdoor usability in the winter. Like tents have, those thick vinyl walls. Then I guess you have to go through the trouble of uninstalling and storing them when not in use...
I'm glad that I made my house wiring in such a way that I can plug up to 7000W absolutely anywhere, even in the lighting wiring.
The answer to the outside heating problem is solved by slowly spinning yourself around on a rotisserie.

Or put a heater on all sides - indigenous style (not saying where) - really, walls, floor, roof and insulation, that solves a lot of hassles..

"you can use wood but its bad for the environment" yeah but a 4000w electric heater still produces like 2kgs of co2 per hour sooo maybe just stay inside during the winter?
