Generally, the dish heaters heat what is in front of them (often a person or persons). However, if you have a small room and close the door, it can heat the whole room. For instance, I turn the heater on at night and close the door in my bedroom. The entire room gets warm and cozy, but, once I step out of my room, the rest of the apartment is cold. The rest of my apartment is a large room that is not enclosed so the heater would never heat so large of a space. If I step out of the beam in my large room (say I was sitting on the couch in front of the TV), the rest of the room is a lot cooler.

Do heat and cold flow between objects?
Technically the answer to your question is no. Heat does indeed flow between objects, but cold does not because it doesn't really physically exist. "Cold" is just a lower level of heat.
Why not just use that energy consumed running the heat pump to run electric heaters inside the house and heat it directly that way?
Heat pump is more efficient. If you use electric heaters, 1 joule of electric energy will produce 1 joule of heat energy. If you use heat pumps, 1 joule of electric energy can pump several joules - perhaps up to 5 or 6, depending on the outside temperature, and the efficiency of the heat pump - of heat, from the outside to the inside.
Why does refraction cause firemen problems?
The heat bends the light, causing objects to look distorted, and therefore the fireman's pathway. Just like the light above a radiator is distorted by its heat because light travels slower in heat.
Is it true that when light is obsorbed light energy is tred ansformed into stored energy?
Sometimes, as in phosphorescent objects. But usually it just converts to heat.
When objects vibrate they create?
When objects vibrate they create sound because sound is just the vibrations of objects
What happens to silver objects with heat and light?
silver absorbs heat just like black objects.
Are new electric baseboard heaters more economical than those made in the 1970's?
Not really. Baseboard heaters are rated in watts. W = Amps x Volts has not changed since electricity came into being. What has changed are some of the designs of the baseboard heaters. Some heat oil in the baseboard heaters, which dissipate the heat out at a more even heat. On the market now are new types of thrermostats that pulse the baseboard heaters for a more regulated heat rather just turning them on when the thermostat calls for heat and turns them off when the thermostat is satisfied.

What did people use before gas water heaters?
Coal or wood fired boilers or just heat water on the stove. A wood stove most likely.
Why is gacha life so bad?
Because of the füçkīñg
Are Eden Pure space heaters worth what you pay for them?
You're far better off going with a generic. While they are high quality, they're basically just heat generation units.
What is another word for radar that starts with a P?
Parabolic Reflector, but that's really just a type of a RADAR.
Do objects require contact for the transfer of heat?
That depends, conduction does but radiation travels in waves so just goes through anything
