3. Cures For Window Pain
Normally, two-thirds of the heat crossing the airspace between panes is invisible heat radiation. This special plastic film, placed in the airspace equidistant from the two panes in a double-glazed window, reflects from 60 to 90 per cent of the radiated heat back into the room.

4. Smoke Detectors
Radiation has always been the major bone of contention between the two factions. Critics of ionization systems ask: Why take any risks when another type of detector, devoid of any inherently dangerous elements, can alert people to fires? Scientists point out that ingestion of even a minute amount of americium-241, which is a waste product from the nuclear cycle, can cause cancer.

6. Soil Cables
It does not take many days of operation to warm the soil and the bench to a point where it begins to radiate heat to the surrounding air, and by this time of year the radiation is sufficient to maintain a greenhouse temperature in the range of 5° to 7°C on cold nights.
