Yes, IF they are installed to fully meet the specifications of the manufacturer, AND IF the reflecting surface is kept clean.
The lens is made up of many tiny geometric shapes that reflect the light back to source rather than let the light through the lens. There is often a silvered coating on the reflector back to enhance the reflective properties of the lens.
Yes - with certain limitations. You can convert part of the heat - not all of the heat - into useful work, if there is a heat difference. The remainder of the heat (from the hot container) gets passed to the cold container. You CANNOT convert ALL the heat into useful work, nor can you convert heat into useful work if there is no heat difference. All this would contradict the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and it is very unlikely that this law will ever be violated.
False
False its not possible to convert all heat into work as some of its being used as energy APEX
No.
It really all depends on the type of Fireplace you have. Fireplaces usually run on a pilot with a thermocouple or thermopile. These produce their own milivolts to run the gas valve. These type of fireplaces do not need power to ignite. If the fireplace's on/off switch is a remote that runs off of batteries or is a switch on the faceplate of the fireplace, then this fireplace should work with no power. Most fireplaces have a blower that circulates the warm air it generates. This fan would be running on 120v from the street and would not work when the power goes out. You may still have a flame on, but all the heat it generates is going out the stack. Other fireplaces have no fan and are mainly for looks. You may have a fireplace that is dependent on the 120volts and will do nothing. Check the operation manual on your fireplace.
There are some glass doors for a fireplace, but you must make sure that the glass can withstand the heat of the fire. The glass door will prevent some heat from escaping, but not all. The glass door will not aid in keeping a room warm.

Yes, Walmart does indeed sell fake heat logs. However, the availability of the item differs from location to location.
Yes, lower prices fireplace mantels do indeed work as efficiently as higher priced fireplace materials. There is not a lot of difference.
A photographic reflector redirects light on a subject or a scene to enhance a particular feature or create a specific effect. There are similar sppilications of reflectors in cinematography.
it burns the wood
It can- but propane and natural gas have different heat values- check with your gas company to see if yours can be converted SAFELY.
Gas fireplaces are designed to vent the heat and gas created in the persons firebox outside of their home. While a moderate amount of this heat is radiated into their home, most of the generated heat is lost through the venting process.
It doesn't.The reflectors in car's headlights' are concave.
Do fireplace maintenance service companies work on gas fireplaces also? I think I have a leak, as I smell gas when I turn my fireplace on.
