If your house is -30F an adequate amount of 32F water freezing to ice will quite nicely warm your house to a balmy 32F. If you take a 32F block of wood of as much weight as the water into your house it won't do nearly as good of a job.
I understand your desperate need to plant words into my mouth and your zeal in building strawmen; because otherwise you would have to admit you were wrong in objecting to my statement that you can warm things with the release of latent heat. Your silly and futile attempts to put spin on my statements so as to make them sound as if I was equating the latent heat released from water to be a virtual propane blow torch is actually rather hilarious and pitiful at the same time. I mean do you really think putting an icecube tray in your freezer is going to melt the walls of the freezer department, or did you really in truly imagine that is what I was saying. LOL!
Mr Icefisher is saying that if I take a bucket water at 0.01C inside the house and cool it down just a little bit, then a bang, and there will emanate a puff of warm air from the bucket, that I can heat up my house with.
Of course no such thing will happen.
You really do have language and thinking disability if you conclude that my paragraph above is descriptive of what you are describing.
What I am describing is so simple an infant should be able to understand it. Its not a blow torch, its not a gas fired FAU unit. Its simply a substance that is relatively warm to the environment that will warm the environment as surely and as well as an ice cube cools your drink.
