Garage heater
Here is a cheap way to heat your garage if you have some extra automotive and household parts laying around. It is temperature controlled with a thermostatic relay. It heats a 3 car garage very well. The fluid reservoir on top is to keep the system full so that there isn't any air in the system. The top fan/radiator assembly is hanging from the ceiling above the wate heater.
-40 gal water heater -car radiator -electric water pump -squirl cage fan -duct metal (fan to radiator) -heater hoses -thermostatic relay -reservoir for extra fluid
