Second Birthday present for Skylark

To mark Skylark's second birthday, I have bought her a heat powered stove fan. 

(Shhhh, it's not one of those expensive ones that cost a hundred squid but a much cheaper one that, according to the feedback, does exactly the same but for a fraction of the outlay).


 

I've taken it out of the box but not used it yet so time will tell if its money well spent. It certainly looks and feels sturdy.


Happy Birthday Skylark, I hope you like it.

UPDATE: I have just set it up on the Morso Squirell at home and it immediately started to silently whiz around. A simple thermometer held about 3' in front of the stove without the fan reads about 22 degrees and with the fan it reads about 24 degrees. Is that a resounding success? Not sure but at least that's 2 more degrees of heat going into the room than would otherwise. For this room measuring about 5m x 5m (plus a high ceiling) that's not a great increase in efficiency but on Skylark, with a main room of about 2m x 5m x 2m high, that will probably be quite an improvement. I'll test it on board next week and report back.
