Sometimes, gloves and socks are just not enough to cover you from cold. You could add another pair of socks and get your gloved hands deep in your pocket, but you eventualy will discover that after wearing six pairs of socks it will be impossible to put on your boots, and if you spend all day in the office with your hands tucked on your coat, you could get fired. The solution? The oil-filled, movement powered, chest-to-hands-and-feet-heat interchanger!

...which is none than a cloth-covered vest filled with oil, that gets heated by your chest and back, and it is conduced by small hoses to your socks and gloves... The movement of your body when you walk or the movement of your hands wil force the oil to move from the vest to the gloves and socks, and small check valvles will keep the heated oil circulating... keepeng tour feets and and hands constantly heated.

So, Say goodbye to the aching hand and foot fingers, and get at the same time that coool sci-fi look that drives ladies crazy!!

       Nice, but why go up all the way to the chest to heat your feet? And, isn’t internal body heat more reliable than surface heat . You do see what I mean? I don’t have to draw a picture, do I?

       I thought the body's design is such that the hands and feet are allowed to cool so that the torso remains warm. If you move heat from the torso to the extremeties, I think you'll just increase the risk of hypothermia. Seems that if there was enough extra heat in the torso to supply this system, your fingers and toes wouldn't be cold in the first place. I also think the heat lost to inefficiencies in the system would be substantial. Neutral vote.
