Put a conductor tube on the back of the fridge and conduct all the heat it gives out to a heater base?

Question

I am not sure if this could work, so I wanted to see if it could. I suppose if it produced loads of heat at the back it would be a fire hazard.

Maybe heating a room is a little ambitous - so maybe you could heat some water rather than using a kettle. Unfortunatly I have the idea but not a clue how to implement it.

Answer 1

The heat collected would be very little and would not be worth the trouble, a good idea but not really practical. But keep thinking, that's where all the best inventions and discoveries come from.

Answer 2

If the fridge is in the same area as the one to be heated, what is to be gained? This would be helpful only if you wanted to transfer the heat to another area.

Answer 3

What a good idea, you could also do the same with other house hold products, like the washing machine, TV, microwave and your computer.

Why has nobody thought off this before.

Answer 4

Without argument the refirgerator puts off a modest amount of heat, and with no offense it may have some benefit, but the issue might be in the dissipation of it as you attempt collection and other use?

Answer 5

WHAT????
