Before it can get out, it's got to do all the work you want it to do push its way through the resistance of fine tungsten filaments in your lamps and the iron wires in your heaters that get white hot resisting it.
Then they could live very comfortably in the Arctic zones; they carried their own heaters. Their vast strength was limited then, however, and they were forced to eat more and were more subject to fatigue. Wade and Fuller had been trying to speak with Torlos telepathically, and had evidently run into difficulty, for Fuller called into the control room: "Hey, Arcot, come here a minute!
Scarcely a winter passes but one or more deaths are recorded from the products of combustion given off from various forms of water heaters used in bath rooms; scarcely a cookery class is given, with gas stoves, that one or more ladies do not have to leave suffering from an intense headache, and often in an almost fainting condition.
Here the drudgery of shoveling in coal and taking out ashes is replaced by that of daily filling the two-gallon oil tank that feeds it, periodic cleaning of wicks and burners, and consistent adjusting of burner and draft to meet changing weather conditions.

He had hardly finished speaking, when the gate opened, and another man joined them. "Hello, there, Dock Heaters, that you?" said Bud Mason. "Yes, it's me. How are you, Jane?" said the newcomer. "Oh, jest middlin', Dock, I ain't right well." "Well, you might be in better business than settin' out here talkin' to Bud Mason." "Don't know how as to that," said his rival, "seein' as we're engaged."
"As long as the car's moving, these two little car heaters will not only keep us from getting frost bites but, in a pinch, we can cook on 'em."
