It would need to detect and disqualify sharts or things would get messy fast.

Right, needs to be true gas and not full poop in your pants. Maybe a hygrometer probe to go in you pants.

How about something useful with a probe in your rear end to determine oncoming fart or shart? Simple green/red LED affair.

MIITO – the sustainable alternative to the electric kettle https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/747044530/miito-the-sustainable-alternative-to-the-electric An $84 induction heater for boiling a single cup of water. Since it uses induction you can't use it with metal cups. I'm wondering if these 560 backers forgot they already own a microwave.

This is pretty much a high tech way of heating up rocks, then dumping them into your liquid to heat it.

Bubble-T posted:I'm not sure why you wouldn't just use a regular metal induction teapot but yeah, not that awful really. Well, you might not have an induction cooktop or hotplate. Electric kettles are actually really good at turning electricity into hot water, though. Their marketing attack on them seems to be "wasteful, because you overfill the kettle and waste water and electricity heating water you don't need." The solution to that would seem to be...not overfilling the kettle. That said, this is a pretty cool toy.

Germstore posted:MIITO – the sustainable alternative to the electric kettle Using a microwave is a really lovely way to make tea. That said, electric kettles are cheap, useful, and plentiful already, so it would be an extremely niche appliance. They're obviously targeting a specific market though.

How is it better than a regular immersion heater? I guess it may be slightly safer, maybe? Bet then a kettle is still way safer. E: quote:SAFETY: MIITO’s design is safe for children since the top of the base always stays cold. Paladinus has a new favorite as of 14:43 on May 12, 2015 |

The advantage they list over immersion heater is safety. Over microwaves it is that it doesn't heat the vessel as much (and it's smaller than a microwave, but you already have a microwave for other uses). Over electric kettles it is that it saves a few ounces of water. I guess the niche for this is someone who has no room for the smallest compromise when it comes to heating up a cup of water.

The market for this is literally my parents - enough money that the cost doesn't matter, small kitchen, and interested in new/sustainable tech. They're the kind of people that bought one of those crazy expensive bioethanol fireplaces. Which isn't to say that buying this things makes sense, but the idea and the kickstarter do. Phanatic posted:Well, you might not have an induction cooktop or hotplate. Seems like this could be designed as a mobile one pretty easily, but maybe I don't understand the tech well enough. I suppose it might not be high powered enough.

Germstore posted:Do you mean hard water? I wouldn't imagine heavy water would accumulate. Heavy water definitely accumulates. One particularly lucrative option is selling that heavy water to laboratories or ritual healers in the area for use in potions. Drinking heavy water isn't recommended as it will gradually replace the regular water in your body, resulting in a sluggish frame.

Heavy water is also poisonous... if you replace about half the regular water in your body with it.

Wouldn't you also dilute it back down when you add new water back in? And at some-point you end up boiling just enough to fill you tea pot or cup.

Is there a technical reason that metal rod is twice as tall as a regular kettle? I just imagine a child taking the metal rod and beating a cat to death with it, or bending it beyond recognition, or tossing it in the yard. I imagine accidentally bending the poo poo out of it while taking it out of a drawer. I imagine my roommate taking advantage of the flanged nature of its end. They should just give up on the kettle thing and turn it into an induction-heated branding iron.

ErIog posted:Is there a technical reason that metal rod is twice as tall as a regular kettle? The rod heats up to heat the water, so they need the length so the tiny amount of silicon coating actually insulates you from the heat at that point, if it was only the height of a regular coffee cup you would have to use oven mitts to take it out even with the coating.
