Why not get a 2nd hand heat pump out of a late-model Leaf and trigger it with a laser pointer from your living room window (for example).
Your math is close you forgot the fuel ...72w + .11 ga of diesel /gas / kerosene = 5kw is correct you see diesel has over 139000btu . 1w = 3.xx btu.
Leaf heater
?How many 50# groop31 batteries aer required at $125 ea??. to heat 4galons of water and a 1000# engine from 40 below 0°fto operating. And start this engine? (Keep in mind that a battery has only about 5-10% of its CCAwhen new at this temperature ... lithium battery is not able to be charged till spring so lead is the only option. . Getting the math wrong is a fatal mistake at 40below.+windchill...
