    They have a freezer INSIDE their heated house, I know it’s convenient, but the engineer in me gets annoyed when I see that.

    maybe we as a society could standardize fridge sizes so we could build fridges that open on the inside but radiate on the outside

    Same for heat sources being inside a AC house (oven, fridge, etc) outdoor kitchens make so much sense, or even garage fridges

    im sad she hasn’t posted a new video in a year.

        That’s a really good point I didn’t consider.

        Adding heat to a place you want to make warm isn’t a problem.

          What do you engineer because I am going to stay away from that product.

            A refrigerator uses a compression cycle to pump heat from one place to another place. In addition to the heat that is moved, the work itself generates heat.

            So refrigerator in a heated house is producing extra heat, which is the goal currently in the heated house…

            What an I missing?

      That would be more useful for places where houses are generally air conditioned
