There are many different ways, radiant tiles, radiant floors, you can read all about it at the site listed in related links
Very efficient and warm on the feet. I have it. One drawback is the initial cost is higher for installation over other heating systems. Once the floor slab heats up there is minimal input heat to keep it there.
light bulb, sun, fire, nd maybe stove
Radiant energy is heat transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as from the sun or a fire. Convection energy is heat transferred through the movement of fluids or gases, such as warm air rising and cool air sinking. They represent different mechanisms of heat transfer.
11,000 watts will run a LOT of things. It MAY run an entire house- depending on the power used by the house. IF the house has electric heat, a deep well pump and electric water heater, maybe not. Gas heat, gas water heater, no well pump, probably yes. You need to add up the wattage used by all systems, add 50% to things that have a starting current (large motors like pumps or heat pumps) and see what you total usage is.
Radiant energy comes from the sun.
The simple answer is yes it produces heat and is distributed to the rooms in your house; unless however, you are using electric baseboard heat which works on convection, or electric radiant heating panels.
There are many different ways to use radiant energy to heat your home including radiant flooring, radiant electric heating, radiant tiles... The site in the related links has tons of information on radiant heating. Technically, "radiant" heating is used to distinguish from "forced air" systems. In a radiant system the radiant elements emit heat and in an forced-air system the furnace heats air, which is then moved to where the heat is needed. A radiant system can be electrical, hyrdonic or steam-driven. For instance, a hydronic boiler heats water to about 180 degrees and uses circulators (forced hot water) to move the heated water to a finned-tube, floor-tubing, wall-tubing, or cast-iron radiator, heating the radiator, radiating heat into the room. The cooled water then flows back to the boiler to be heated again.
An electric radiant floor system uses electric cables or mats installed beneath the flooring to generate heat. When the system is turned on, the cables heat up and transfer warmth directly to the floor, which then radiates heat upward into the room. This method of heating is efficient because it warms objects and people in the room directly, rather than heating the air first. This can result in more even and comfortable heating throughout the space.
it depends of your house. if it has more than one floor then it might not. it also depends on how many rooms has radiant floor

The installation process of an electric radiant floor system involves laying down heating cables or mats beneath the flooring material. These cables or mats are connected to a thermostat and power source, which regulate the temperature of the floor. The flooring material is then installed on top of the heating elements. When the system is turned on, the heating elements warm up, providing radiant heat to the floor surface.
Radiant floor heat is considered by many to be better than central heat because it is much better for our environment. Another reason is that is cost less to heat your house using radiant floor heat than central heating.
To cook by direct radiant heat, as over a grill or under an electric element.
The temperature of the house increases as the sun's radiant energy touches it. This is because the house absorbs the energy from the sun, converting it into heat.
The heat from an electric blanket is generated through electricity passing through heating elements within the blanket. This radiant heat warms the body when the blanket is in use.

Radiant baseboard heating is a type of heating system that uses electric resistance heating elements or hot water to heat a space. It is typically installed near the baseboard of a room to provide consistent and efficient heat distribution. The heat radiates from the baseboard, warming the air in the room and creating a comfortable environment.
