Following the doctor's excellent helicopter frivolity, it occurred to me that the line might be extended.
A small, model jet fighter would pump out a substantial amount of heat, keeping rooms warm even in far northern climes.
Warning: Do not mount near drapes, walls, 4 poster beds, unless you
live near a fire station.

Here, let me crank up the afterburners! (WHOOOSH!) |

You could build a metal model airplane, and use a miniature version of the propane space heaters used in construction as the jet engines. Earplugs required. |
|

No, it needs to be a real minature axial-flow turbine. Not only would you get the lovely smell of Jet A-1 as a bonus, but the fast moving airstream would distribute the heat to all parts of the room. (+) |

You could kind of combine the helicopter fan and the jet heater- A jet teathered to the cieling that flys in a circle, thereby evenly heating the room. |

The sonic boom is a surefire winner! |
|

[UnaBubba] Sonic boom, right, yeah, um 660mph, its outta the house, like gone |
|
| |
Apart from having to wear ear protection in the house, this is great. Intercom sockets in all the chairs and hand signals for non-seated communication. (+) |

Add wings to one of these. [see link] |
|

is there nothing jet engines cant do? |
|
| |
Now I know why aircraft mechanics call jet engines "her". |
|
| |
[Zanzibar] yes .... because they're fussy, temperamental, demanding, and cost a fortune to maintain. |
|
| |
You forgot unyielding and sometimes cold to the touch. |
|
| |
...fun to ride, good to look at, hard to control...
