Warmex - India's Best Room Heater Review

Warmex PTC Fan Room Heater PTC 99 N



It's been very cold in india this year so I finally bought a room heater after reviewing all the available heater. I actually wanted to buy an Indian make rather than an imported chinese one for a best price. Warmex room heater was a good deal for the price of Rupees 1900/-, which can heat the room at the maximum rate of 2000W(~). 
The product features/functionality and quality as descirbed below.

Cool/Warm/Hot wind selection as show:



  • Cool is fan running without the heater ON as shown on the right know with a ' fan ' symbol.
  • Warm is fan runnning along with heater @ 1000W as shown ' I ' symbol. And this is the ideal heat recomemded for most of the rooms in the winter season.
  • Hot is fan runnning along withe heater @ 200W as shown ' II ' symbol. At this setting its really hot, and this setting is recomenmed only during first 1 hour to get the room to normal temperature.
The rotary switch used to change this 3 different modes is well a standard one as shown that shall lost longer.


Temperature control : Its controlled by a thermostat which just work fine but not very sensitive as its mounted inside the box as shown below.


The thermostat is connected to the know on the box which is show on the left side that can be rotated to controll the temperature.

Fan speed selection mode: The fan runs at constant speed. There is no such option to adjust its speed.

70° oscillation for even heating:  The Body oscillates whien this option is slected and recomended for the first one hour when its operating at 2000W to spread the heat evenly. The osillation of the body is controlled by a standrad synchronous motor which is attached on the base of the box which rotates it from the base plate.


Built in safety switch: This switch is safety switch which is under the base plate of the complete unit, which prevent it from powering ON, if the unit not place correctly and switched OFF the power to the unit if it falls by anykind of push. The switch is located to the right of the product label under the unit.


Indicator lamp: Indicates when the power is switched ON to the heater and fan which is located on the front panel above the grill in red.

Easy carry handle: Well designed handle to carry the heater anyware u like to.




The room gets heated well with 2000W mode in few minutes. At 1000W the room is warmer whole night and keeps us cozy with a sound sleep.

The fan is made a wind sound which is bearable, but recomemded to keep atleast far of 5-8ft to have a sound sleep during the nights. This fan sound cannot be reduced as it cannot control fan speed.

Some suggestions before you operate this heater:

1. Ensure the you have 16A power plug socket to connect this heater.
2. Place the heater away from hanging clothes, wood, plastics ( away from bed, curtain, woden furniture, TV).
3. Turn on the heater @ 2000 W before 30 min and make it to 1000W while using the room.
4. Turn the thermostat to a desired level clockwise until the unit turns on and reduce it anitclockwise a little to ensure correct operation of switching at desired level, which shall save the power consumption.

Update me with ur comments to add.

Air Car from Tata Motors of India has been scheduled


What is this?

Will it be the next big thing?

Tata Motors of India thinks so.

What will the Oil Companies do to stop it?


It is an auto engine that runs on air. That's right; air not gas or diesel or electric but just the air around us. Take a look.


Tata Motors of India has scheduled the Air Car to hit Indian streets by August 2012


The Air Car, developed by ex-Formula One engineer Guy N. For Luxembourg-based MDI, uses compressed air to push its engine's pistons and make the car go.

The Air Car, called the "Mini CAT" could cost around 365,757 rupees in India or $8,177 US.

The Mini CAT which is a simple, light urban car, with a tubular chassis, a body of fiberglass that is glued not welded and powered by compressed air. A Microprocessor is used to control all electrical functions of the car. One tiny radio transmitter sends instructions to the lights, turn signals and every other electrical device on the car. Which are not many.

The temperature of the clean air expelled by the exhaust pipe is between 0-15 degrees below zero, which makes it suitable for use by the internal air conditioning system with no need for gases or loss of power.

There are no keys, just an access card which can be read by the car from your pocket. According to the designers, it costs less than 50 rupees per 100 KM, that's about a tenth the cost of a car running on gas. It's mileage is about double that of the most advanced electric car, a factor which makes it a perfect choice for city motorists. The car has a top speed of 105 KM per hour or 60 mph and would have a range of around 300 km or 185 miles between refuels. Refilling the car will take place at adapted gas stations with special air compressors. A fill up will only take two to three minutes and costs approximately 100 rupees and the car will be ready to go another 300 kilometers.

This car can also be filled at home with it's on board compressor. It will take 3-4 hours to refill the tank, but it can be done while you sleep.

Because there is no combustion engine, changing the 1 liter of vegetable oil is only necessary every 50,000 KM or 30,000 miles. Due to its simplicity, there is very little maintenance to be done on this car.

This Air Car almost sounds too good to be true. We'll see in August. 2012

Here is the link to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztFDqcu8oJ4&feature=related

How it works great inside the engine http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=hwgQsF18NVM

Uses a battery powered selenoid to open the valve, that pumps air from the compressed tank into the engine thus rotating it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dvimw11hzOc&feature=related

The High Speed train that never stops at a station

The High Speed train that never stops at a station YET PASSENGERS GET ON & OFF
*The train that never stops at a station: - How to get on and off the non-stop high speed train!*



A new Chinese train innovation - How to get on & off the bullet train without stopping. VERY COOL CONCEPT !

No time is wasted. The bullet train is moving all the time. If there are 30 stations between Beijing and Guangzhou, just stopping and accelerating again at each station will waste both energy and time. A mere 5 min stop per station (elderly passengers cannot be hurried) will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30 stations or 2.5 hours of train journey time!

The Chinese are innovative enough to come up with a non-stopping train concept. When the train arrives at a station, it will not stop at all.

The passenger at a station embarked onto to a connector cabin way before the train even arrive at the station. When the train arrives, it will not stop at all. It just slows down to pick up the connector cabin
which will move with the train on the roof of the train. While the train is still travelling away from the station, those passengers will board the train from the connector cabin mounted on the train's roof. After fully unloading all its passengers, the connector cabin will be moved to the back of the train so that the  next batch of outgoing passengers who want to alight at the next station will board the connector cabin at the rear of the train roof. When the train arrives at the next station, it will simply drop the whole connector cabin at the station itself and leave it behind at the station. The outgoing passengers can take their own time to disembark at the station while the train had already left. At the same time, the train will pick up the incoming embarking passengers on another connector cabin in the front part of the train's roof. So the train will always drop one connector cabin at the rear of its roof and pick up a new connector cabin in the front part of the train's roof at each station.
