As promised in the Tesla miracle heater video, here's what happens to the PTC ceramic heater core when the forced airflow is removed.
I would guess that in-situ the electronics would sense the high ambient temperature as "room temperature" and shut the heater block off. But in the event of triac failure or a processor crash that could still result in the heater being left active continuously. I prefer not to rely on active electronics and software as a single safety layer.
If you enjoy my videos and would like to support me with a dollar or two for coffee, cookies and gadgets to take apart, you can do so by supporting me on Patreon. I release videos without adverts for critique and feedback on Patreon as soon as they have been made. I also release Patreon-only backstage videos when I'm working on shows.
