Homemade Electric Heater / Furnace Temporary Setup
********First off I am a licensed Electrician and know all the safety concerns when dealing with electricity, do not try this or things like this at home, if you touch the wrong thing it can kill you instantly, more people are killed each year with 120 volts than any other voltage…********** NOW gettin to the video… The blower is out of an old dryer i took apart several years ago, the motor is not the stock one i had to replace it, used to use it as a fan. And i found an old broker dryer heating element in my attic that was “bad” took it apart and the wire in the element coil had burnt in to, so i twisted it together and put a bolt and nut on it works fine. The motor runs off of 120 Volts AC, and the element runs off of 240 volts ac, on the side it says 5400 watts, and it draws aprox 23 amps at 240 volts. It warms my garage up just fine, but this is a TEMPORARY SETUP, i am planning to build a mini furnace out of it. it got down to the mid 30′s the night i shot this video and we were workin out in the garage late that night.
