A space heater is operable at a low cost by a small electric motor which rotates an elongated tubular cylinder rotor member on a vertical axis, within an elongated cylindrical outer stationary member, and outwardly of an upper convection chamber member and a lower metering chamber member at a clearance of about five thirty-second of an inch in the vertical, outer and inner angular chambers formed therebetween. A supply of heavy lubricant normally occupies the lower portion of the vertical, outer and inner annular chambers and the lower metering chamber member but rises to fill the vertical, outer annular chamber and overflow the elongated tubular cylinder rotor member and return through the vertical, inner annular chambers to the lower portion during rotation of the elongated tubular cylinder rotor member; and serving for through flow of the lubricant. The elongated cylindrical outer stationary member is enclosed within a housing, having an upper plenum chamber with louver openings and a lower chamber containing an electric drive motor an an outwardly mounted electric motor and blower.

An odorless, combustion-less quiet heater comprising; an elongated tubular cylinder with a spoked driving disc attached an intermediate distance within to divide the tubular cylinder into a top recessed portion and a bottom recessed portion; said tubular cylinder to rotate in a horizontal plane on a vertical axis outwardly of an inner extending convection chamber member having a convection chamber to occupy the said top recessed portion, and outwardly of an inner extending metering chamber member having an annular metering chamber with metering apertures to occupy the said bottom recessed portion, and within an elongated, cylindrical, outer stationary member with a top rim portion and a bottom rim portion, with the said top rim portion joined to the said convection chamber member, and the said bottom rim portion joined to the said metering chamber member to form outer and inner annular vertical chambers therebetween, having a clearance of about five-sixteenth of an inch, and forming an upper horizontal chamber and a lowr horizontal chamber about the said spoked driving disc with a clearance of about three-eighth of an inch in the said upper horizontal chamber and a clearance of about one-half of an inch in the said lower horizontal chamber; said driving disc on its horizontal axis divides the said heater into an upper portion consisting of said outer and inner annular, vertical, chambers and said convection chamber and a lower portion consisting of said outer and inner annular, vertical chambers and said annular metering chamber; a supply of oil normally occupying only said lower portions said outer and inner annular, vertical chambers and said annular metering chamber to a predetermined height but adapted to be raised upwardly into the said outer annular, vertical, chamber in a heat generating cycle, and with metering of the said oil from the said annular metering chamber through the said metering apertures cause the heated said oil to overflow in the said upper portion of the said heater, whereby; due to vertex flow and gravitional forces the heated said oil is returned through the said upper portion\s said inner annular, vertical, chamber and through the said spoked driving disc to the said lower portion\s said inner annular, vertical, chamber in a regenerative cooling cycle, when the said tubular cylinder is rotated on said vertical axis at substantial speed; and electric motor means for rotating said spoked driving disc and said tubular cylinder on said vertical axis outwardly of said convection chamber mamber and outwardly of said metering chamber member and within said outer stationary member to heat said oil and transfer said heat to the outer surface of said outer stationary member and supplementary heat to the outer surface of said convection chamber member.
