Sun light is polarized.

I literaly have a polarizing filter for my camera.

And bluntly saying: yes you do fully read as someone with a head problem. You would not survive a blind study regarding EMF and your nose bleeding and would be a very famous person if you could proof that.

All EMF fields we have and face daily are not strong enough at all for any 'ion channels'. Are you even aware how many fields you walk through every single day? Public transport, power lines, wifi etc. your own electric cable has a magnetic field.

Weird that you actually connect ion channels/EMF with blood vessal issues at all.

Feel free to read the wikipedia article about it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivi...

"Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which negative symptoms are attributed. EHS has no scientific basis and is not a recognized medical diagnosis, although it is generally accepted that the experience of EHS symptoms is of psychosomatic origin."

So you have had the experience of one space using a heat pump but you don't have more information regarding it?

What type it was? How well insolated was the space? Did the manager keep the temperature low on purpose? What does the summer time and sweating to do with the heat pump?

Is your house insulated?

Thats a no brainer.

If the sun shines a lot, we will have a lot of energy we can consume through an AC.

Overall a heatpump will lead to a 2-4 times net energy reduction.

Your normal car can use 30-40% of the energy in gasoline. We could just make energy out of it, use the process energy and drive a heat pump and we will be above 1 kWh from 1 kWh of gasoline energy.

Purly heating by energy is the worst case scenario.

I have to believe your 'the zeb' system has to be a scam as the energy amount such a small device can store, doesn't add up at all.

If it requires a big water heating tank, than this device should be as big as a computer + a heating coil.

Whatever they do with there 'energy core' its either magic and patented or just a scam.

No clue. The last time i looked, the prices for a heat pump from known companies like LG or viesmann are similiar than a gas burner.

And with a heat pump you can even invest in PV and use that to be even more independent and later you can leverage an EV car either by never buying gas again or for storage.

Overall a very smart concept.

But perhaps he lives in a country were energy is very cheap, will stay cheap and is very stable?

In germany this topic was disucssed and is still discussed up and down and a TON of studies and caclulations exists.
The first link doesn't say anything about co2 at all. It talks about some inefficiencies. This doesn't mean its a bad choice and there are not many alternatives anyway. Not everyone wants an infrared based heating system or a air basesd (which would also work with a heat pump, air to air).

The second link is an interview were there is already a counter video. Rieck does not verify all sources and interviews a broad spectrum of people.

Also, just food for thought: If one unit of gas has one 1kWh energy, a heat pump can make 3-4kWh out of it (You are following right?).

And panic decisions: ITs very critical that you can consume energy and not just oil or gas because in 5-15 years, the co2 tax for gas and oil will be higher and you will still only be able to consume those.

The bad decision is to do nothing or to renew your oil/gas burner.

The good decision is heat pumps, infrared whatever you like and doesn't consume oil/gas or can be easily switched.

Btw. investing now in germany in PV and a heat pump (for owners of houses) is with a high chance the longterm cheaper solution overall.
