Gas Furnace Electrical Backup

Inventor Jordan A. Drahota of Champaign, IL has developed abackup electrical power source for a forced air furnace that produceselectricity from heat fueled thermal chips.

The loss ofelectrical power in our homes has a great impact on us, because almosteverything in the home becomes unusable. One of the biggest dangers occurs in cold climates where the furnacesystem does not work and homes quickly become cold and uninhabitable.  To avoid such situations many homeowners havepurchased a standby generator.  Whilethese generators are capable of providing an adequate supply of electricalpower, they are often difficult to connect to furnace systems; which is ironic,since this is where their services are needed the most.  Inventor Drahotahas developed a way in which uninterruptible electric power can beprovided to furnaces to ensure their continuous operation in the event of apower failure.
