As promised in the Tesla miracle heater video, here's what happens to the PTC ceramic heater core when the forced airflow is removed.

I would guess that in-situ the electronics would sense the high ambient temperature as "room temperature" and shut the heater block off. But in the event of triac failure or a processor crash that could still result in the heater being left active continuously. I prefer not to rely on active electronics and software as a single safety layer.
