I had a great idea for an invention the other afternoon.
I was considering those hand held fans that people use, the little plastic ones.
I was wondering if it would be possible to have hand held heaters instead. I suppose that the technology is possible, but it needed to be something that could be used safely as something in your hand. The technology is already there in a way. The only complication I was having was how to generate proper heat without some kind of gas, propane or electric. To compare, portable space furnaces have to be jammed in. There’s no way to have a portable space heating system without electric. However, could there be a way to get handheld furnaces available? I constantly think about these silly ideas. I had a plan for a cordless portable space heating system last year. With this invention idea, I passed it along to a supplier that made portable space heaters! They said it was a fantastic idea, however there wasn’t a way to make a heating system portable without an electric cord. I assume that the complication with a handheld heating system would have the same issue. You would have to fill it with a gas or propane fuel system, but once you do that, it isn’t safe anymore. They have lighters that run on that stuff. However, a lighter to light a smoke is an addiction and probably isn’t going to burn your hand.
