A resting human body gives off around 100 watts of heat, no more than an old light bulb, yet most of us pay to heat entire empty rooms instead. A heated throw runs on 70 to 90 watts and costs 1 to 3p an hour, while the 2,000-watt heater sitting next to it costs 65 to 70p an hour. In the winter of 1946 to 1947, temperatures fell to minus 21C, coal stocks held barely 4 weeks, and the government cut domestic electricity to 19 hours a day. Roughly 750,000 wagons of coal froze in the sidings, and still British households stayed warm. They did it by ignoring the one control you reach for first.
In this video, we talk about the WWII method British veterans use to heat the person and not the room, including the 100-watt truth about your own body, wartime single-room living, the heated throw that beats a 2,000-watt heater on running cost, the hot water bottle and the heated brick as thermal mass, layering to trap still air, sealing draughts, chimneys and windows, insulating the floor with newspaper, the haybox retained-heat cooker that uses about a third of the fuel, the candle-and-flowerpot myth that 80 watts can never fix, radiant heaters aimed at the body, the safe use of paraffin and gas heaters, reflective foil behind radiators, dropping the boiler flow temperature, sharing body heat, and the one-room survival drill that carried families through the 1947 freeze and the Beast from the East.
