Heat from the BioSmart® Therapeutic Quartz Far Infrared Portable Heater doesn't rise the same way as heat does from conventional heating systems because the far infrared wavelength emitted by the quartz infrared heating elements is shorter than conventional heat waves.

Now, combine this short wave with the ionizing copper heat exchanger and what you get is an infrared wave that spreads more quickly and penetrates more thoroughly giving you a more even heat distribution from floor to ceiling. Add to this the fact that far-infrared has a resonant frequency with water and the fact that water is heavier than air, the infrared heat waves quickly penetrate the water molecules in the air, which keep the heat evenly distributed and down where you and your family are. This also contributes to the room being able to retain that heat longer.
