Скачать или смотреть Everyone Thought His Stone Bench Was Crazy — Until It Held Heat for 18 Hours With No Fire at −30°F

In 1903, a 61-year-old man outside Havre, Montana built something his neighbors had never seen — and couldn't stop laughing at. A bench. Made of creek limestone and clay pipe, sitting right in the middle of his cabin floor. They called him Mad August. They said the grief had taken his reason. They said they'd find him frozen in his stone chair come spring.
Then the worst blizzard in 17 years hit. −42°F. 38 hours. 31 inches of snow.
August fired his stove four times. His neighbors burned their furniture.
This is the true story of thermal mass heating — a technique August's grandmother used in Germany 60 years earlier — and how one stubborn old man proved that the right way to survive brutal cold isn't more fire. It's better stone.
