Why not make heated mirrors, but not electric, but pull the heater from the cooling system. Liquid heating of rear-view mirrors. The craftsmen connected the tubes to the “penny” heating circuit.
A strange decision – a long wait for warming up, electric heating would be much more efficient and convenient, but we decided to experiment and do it.
The whole process is well represented in the video.
In general, the experiment was a success: 4 minutes – the glasses warmed up, the ice melted. 15 minutes – and the result is clear.
It is not difficult to assemble such a system yourself on an old Zhiguli. In the comments, Garage 54 craftsmen were also offered to use such pipes to heat the steering wheel with antifreeze or to heat the floor in the cabin.
One idea immediately leads to another.
