Summary
COI synopsis: Nozzles in the skirting board are the key to a new form of central heating which aims to keep your feet warm as well as your head. A strange physical phenomenon, the ‘Coander Effect’, keeps the warm air close to the ground, instead of rising immediately to the room at the top.
