Harley oil cooler for interior heat.

Because a (for example) 80 amp alternator puts out only a nominal 960
watts at 12v. Even if you could use all that for heating -- which of
course you can't -- it would be a pretty anemic heater.

As the original poster that was my problem too. I only have a 60A
alternator and could not afford the heat from a typical fan heater. I
need that alternator for important things - like keep flying.

I wonder if one of these would draw too much power?

Probably not. But then your arms or legs or feet or air you breather
or.... will still be cold. You would need to wear a space suit to be
continuously warm. Those seat warmer gadgets are designed to give you
a little boost while waiting for the car heater to get going - a few
minutes - and not continuous heat unless you need it for your lumbego.
