Is this one with the wires in it that get hot? Does it have suction cups to stick it on the windshield? This type was popular in the 30s and 40s and plugged in to a cigarette lighter socket. PJ

It sure is pretty cool and it didn't get much warmer when in operation. grinning smiley

An interetsing thing from the days before heaters but pretty much useless in operation.

Take the time to understand what a part does and how it does it, then you'll have a better understanding of how to fix it when it goes wrong. Beats the scattergun approach every time.

And as recently as the late 1980s. I used to have one in my Fiat 650 when I lived in Germany. Didn't do squat on a cold German morning, though. In fact, it didn't do much at all, regardless of the air temp.
