Home heating systems are notorious for being very hungry for power, but this isn't the case with the 'QFlow' heater, which looks to provide heat without the need for electricity.
The 'QFlow' works by utilizing the lantern in the lower portion and using fuel to keep the wick burning. The heat generated helps to heat the internal components and power the fan that will blow heat around its environment in an effective manner that will help provide warmth.
The 'QFlow' heater can be used in various parts of the home where the main heating system doesn't quite do the job or for spaces that aren't heated at all to provide extra warmth. The 'QFlow' home heating system is the design work of Federico Dorfman, Agustina Garcia and Alejandra Hanashiro.
