Abstract
A viscous liquid heater is composed of a housing having a heat chamber filled with viscous liquid, a rotor disposed in the heat chamber and a rotary plate movable to change volume of the heat chamber. The rotor rotates in the heat chamber and shears the viscous liquid to generate heat. The temperature of the heat chamber is controlled by changing volume of the heat chamber.
