minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoYou’ll need a massive battery and inverter to boil a kettle, that’s a lot of energy.
minus-squarefmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-22 months agoNo more than a pot on induction. Or for that matter, no more than with propane, or friction, or pressure, or with a mini-sun. Takes the same amount of energy regardless hah. Speaking of which, this is a pretty cool tool: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/water-heating So for 1 liter in my case, a 2K watt inverter woth 80% efficiency across the system would take under 4 minutes to boil.
minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoThat’s 25AH of capacity on a 12v system though, so quarter of the capacity of a 100ah battery, if I’ve done my math right.
