Anyone know of a cordless battery kettle?

impossible, there was one in the rugrats episode where there is a blackout and tommys mum has a battery powered kettle.....care to explain that :cool:

The same rugrats where they found a load of rubbish in the garage and turned it into a spaceship?

Well. Where are these battery powered kettles then!?
 
Surprised you haven't gone for a pedal, solar or wind powered kettle to take advantage of the free energy! :rolleyes:

I'm actually tempted to make a boat with a big black roof, pipe water through it, and feed it to one side of a Stirling engine, the other side is a metal plate forming part of the hull.

Should be quite capable of movement.
 
Q = MC delta T

0.5l x 4,200J x 80C = 168,000 Joules to boil 500ml of water.

Best Ni-Mh batteries = 11,664 Joules.

168,000/11,664 = 14 AA batteries for one boil, the battery pack would weigh 331g and would take 20mins to discharge that much energy without overheating.

A useful portable kettle would therefore have to have about 140 AA batteries which would weigh 3.3KG and would last 10 boils taking 2 mins each. Not really practical is it?

Then 14 hours before you can have another cup.
 
I would like to see someone make one though, I can just imagine taking 3KG of batteries camping with you and connecting them to the kettle. :p
 
Things to do when your a millionaire I think. Hook it upto a car battery or even better the actual car might be the best idea since their biggest output is heat


A chemical reaction directly heating something would be feasible, I think its been done or is even used by the army maybe
