What Happens When You Burn Peat Like Medieval Peasants Did

When Texas lost power in February 2021, hundreds died in homes that became iceboxes. But 800 years ago, medieval peasants in Scotland survived -30°F winters with nothing but peat—a forgotten fuel that burned for 12-24 hours without attention. They used banking techniques to keep coals alive overnight, heated peat blocks as thermal batteries for beds, and created layered redundancy with zero dependencies. While modern heating fails catastrophically when the grid goes down, their system worked for centuries using only what they dug from bogs. This isn't nostalgia—it's a masterclass in resilience design. Discover the smoldering combustion science, the thermal mathematics of survival, and why systems optimized for convenience create deadly fragility. ======================================= SECTION 1: THE FUEL THAT POWERED MEDIEVAL EUROPE: 01:30 SECTION 2: THE SCIENCE OF SLOW BURNING: 03:46 SECTION 3: THE MEDIEVAL PEAT SYSTEM: 05:52 SECTION 4: WHY MODERN SYSTEMS FAIL WHEN MEDIEVAL PEAT SUCCEEDED: 09:58 SECTION 5: THE FORGOTTEN MATHEMATICS OF SURVIVAL: 15:02 SECTION 6: WHAT PEAT TEACHES US ABOUT RESILIENCE: 20:04 ======================================= Historical & Archaeological: Norwich Cathedral fuel records (14th-15th century administrative documents) Dutch shipyard production data (1625-1700 economic records) Colonial Williamsburg Foundation historical demonstrations Scientific Studies: Arctic University of Norway thermal imaging study (2016) - replica medieval dwelling heat loss measurements Modern fire science research on peat smoldering combustion rates Norwegian study on heated peat block thermal retention Energy & Engineering: Peat BTU energy density comparisons with wood Smoldering combustion temperature analysis (500-700°C) Heat spread rate studies (1-10 cm/hour) Texas Winter Storm Documentation: February 2021 power grid failure reports Official casualty and economic loss reviews ======================================= medieval heating methods winter survival peat fuel thermal battery techniques grid failure resilience ancient technology SUBSCRIBE for more ancient wisdom that beats modern technology! 👍 LIKE if you're like medieval masters!
