defrosters

Windshield clearing systems

Defrosters are devices or systems that remove frost and ice, most commonly the heating elements in car windows or the warming cycle in a freezer.

The rear defroster in a vehicle uses thin electrical wires embedded in the glass; the front defroster blows warm air: Turn on the defroster—I can't see through the windshield.
