A Heating System Made From Scrap

As resources get scarcer in the future humans will be forced to use the debris of our fossil fueled civilisation and find new, creative and efficient ways to utilise it. In the medium term salvage and reuse will be a huge part of newly emerging economies.

Leading the way in this is Noel Higgins, a 39 year old Irish man who like many others has built a beautiful tiny house on wheels. But what really intrigued me about Noel is his brilliant heating system, which he made from an old gas cylinder and burco boiler. He has a fantastic photo essay showing the construction of the stove and water heater on Facebook.

The Irish Examiner recently had an article about Noel and his tiny house.

The future does not emerge suddenly, fully formed, it is happening in little ways all around us right now.
