to built water heater ,based on my built
cut out two aluminun plates, 3 by 3 inches 20ga. or heavy enough so they don't bent,can be cut to leave a little tap for a spade connector , around one plate tie two nylon tie wraps (used for spacer) lay 2nd plate parralel to first plate, and secure to first plate,the object is to have two 3 by 3 inch plates spaced apart by about 1 eights of an inch ,use 110 volt cord with 2 wires and attach spade connectors to wires and push them on the tap of each plate,
Expect it to draw at least 10 amps at 110 volts, water heats up at a good rate , use one pound of water (454 cc ) or 454 ml or 0.454 liters. amperage changes with different water temerature.
One BTU equals raising one pound of water by 1 degree fahrenheit.
starting with one pound of cold water 60 degree fahrenheit, if at 1 minute the water is at 170 degrees ,it means it absorbed 110 btu's or 6600 btu/hr if figured per 60 minutes.
it is interesting to note the electrical input will only be 81 btu/s
water will have to be stirred right after heating with plastic spoon to get accurate temperature readings.
extreme caution is required , at no point should the water be touched specially this heater should not be used in the tub to heat up the bath water
The main reason for this experiment is , so you know for sure ,with the same amount of electricity you can heat water 1.35 times faster than your electric kettle,with is appearently 100% efficient ,I guess my heater is 135% efficient.
It may leave you confused and in disbelief ,but it may help you to wake up.
