It is estimated that on average, we boil twice the volume of water that we actually need when we use our kettles. When looking at a 3kW kettle, it is about the same as wasting the energy of around fifty light bulbs. Kettles are often inefficent. A stove-top kettle, for example, requires the energy to heat the kettle itself, and the water.
Designer Brian Hartley has created an Eco Kettle to solve the problems of this. You fill it up, and use the measuring button to release the exact amount of water that you require into a seperate chamber for boiling. It is insulated to keep thee water hot. A result of this inventions is a saving up of 30%.
I like the idea of this, my momma fixes tea alot and we never drink as much as she makes. I wish my family would use more eco friendly things, and i think this would be a good start! Just think if everyone used this eco friendly kettle when we cooked we would be saving a whole lot of everything!
ReplyDeleteI know that people still use kettles some today, so this does sound like a good creation. With the amount of hot chocolate Americans drink today, we need an eco-friendly kettle to conserve some of the energy used for the Kettle. This is a great idea and new ideas should blossom from it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. I didn't think about how much water was wasted by boiling it. This product also seems a lot more convenient that regular boiling, too.
