"Irishness is not primary a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition on being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it."-Conor Cruise O'Brien
God then made man. The Italians for their beauty. The French for their cuisine. The Welsh for their voices. The Germans for their cars. And on and on until He looked at what He had created and said, "This is all very well, but no-one is having fun. I'll have to make an Irishman."
Dear Lord, lest I continue in my complacent ways, help me to remember that someone died for me today. And if there be war, help me to remember to ask and to answer "am I worth dying for?" - Eleanor Roosevelt
The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. -- Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903)
--- designer's own words: Fractal structures are often used to maximize performance of exchange surfaces, that’s why the radiator shape is inspired by the Peano space filling curve. On the contrary to what it might seem ; this complicated volume is quite easy to build, the first modules (cf technical plan, “8 joins”) are made of existing plumbing joins (a 90° M/F elbow) fitted together by rotation so it is unnecessary to produce a cast which already exists. Repeat the operation by using these modules instead of the initial join by join process to reach a second level (“64 joins”), then redo the assembly one more time with this new component to fulfill the product (“512 joins”). The final 34 cm³ structure achieves an excellent heat output thanks to a 2 m² surface area. (One more thing, the plastic is tinted with full mass-tone color but moulding all the parts with a thermosensitive PVC, that changes color according to the temperature of the water flowing inside, would make the radiator appear to glow.)
