What is the difference between a BioSmart infrared portable and a conventional infrared portable heater? The Inventor’s Perspective To understand the significance of the answer, a little background information is necessary. Far infrared radiation (FIR) is invisible and is beyond the ability of the naked eye to see. Far infrared radiation is considered to be…

The term “energy efficient” has become common jargon when used to describe heating products. However, since it’s a relative term, it’s virtually meaningless unless one product is being specifically compared to another. For instance, when comparing electric heaters to fossil fuel heating systems, usually electricity is more efficient in the long run because the cost…

All heaters generate infrared heat. In other words, all radiant heat is infrared heat. Therapeutic infrared heat is infrared heat that targets the 4-12 micron range of wavelengths because these wavelengths are most easily absorbed by water which is what the human body is primarily composed of. Measuring these wavelengths directly is virtually impossible with…
