Why does heater work only when your car is idle?

I am going to assume that you are pondering why the heater only maintains heat while the engine is running. The answer is quite simple. The engine uses a combination of anti-freeze and water to help keep it cool. The water is circulated by a water pump. The hot water moves through the heater core, which is a small radiator. The blower draws air through the fins of the heater core and heat is pulled from it. The water pump is usually belt driven, and the engine must be on in order for the coolant to circulate.

How do energy gels for running work?

All the energy gels are is a easy to consume and digest gel that provides caloric energy. or in less scientific terms, its easy to eat while running food that gives you energy. As you run your body burns calories and thus to continue to have energy while running longer distances easy to consume/digest forms of energy can be beneficial. For the average runner 100 calories / 45 minutes or running can maintain your energy level which conveniently is the size most energy gel packets come in. However all they really come down to is a different form for food that is easier to consume while running, no real magic.

You run out hot water because you must have a small water heater. A water heater gets water, and heats it up, so if you have a small one, then once you use up all the hot water, you need to wait a while for the heater to heat up more.
