Zusammenfassung:A portable heater for radiantly heating the underbody, particularly the engine oil pan or crankcase, of a motor vehicle to facilitate starting in cold weather includes an elongate wheeled support member horizontally positionable adjacent and under the vehicle by a handle on one end of the support member. A radiant energy generator, such as a conventional infrared lamp or an electric resistance element, is mounted on the support member and oriented to project a beam of radiant energy substantially parallel to and along the longitudinal axis of the support member to a planar reflector on the support member downstream of the generator and disposed at an angle to reflect the beam of radiant energy upwardly to portion of the vehicle underbody desired to be heated.
