A friend of mine has no gas heat or hot water at his house.
I was looking at his gas hot water heater and I said to him
I bet a 1600 watt hand held hair dryer would heat up the water in the tank in 3 or 4 hours.
he said I was nuts.
I rigged up the hair dryer - blowing thru the opening to get to the pilot light - sealed up the rest of the opening with a small towel.
It worked - the water got so hot you still need to mix it with cold water to take a shower.
now I do not have to loan him any money - he gets paid next friday.
