Boil Water with a kettle is not very efficient lwa nt, because there is often more heat than is necessary. The makers of Miito thinking here what to have found: and they made a bar that should help to only heating water that is actually being used.
The Miito consists of a base and a cup or teapot can be placed and a chip. The base heats the rod by means of induction, after which the rod the gives off heat to the fluid in the environment. So can a quick cup of tea, or something else, with only the amount of water required, according to the creators. According to the authors, the Miito little complicated to use. There is only one button to have the heating on and off. A cup of water in about 60 seconds and warmed up, while a teapot full of approximately 2.5 minutes is required.
With a Kickstarter campaign, like the German makers money to obtain the device. At the time of this writing, there are already 350,000 euros will be collected, over more than the intended goal of 150,000 euros. Who interest has can a Miito purchase for 90 euros. Only in april next year, the device is provided.
You might be in the future a wireless version on the market. The current version should still be in the socket are stopped and can not on a battery. Moreover, users must ensure that they are not metal heads to use with the Miito: the inductieproces itself heated. Also indicate the creators note that use with other induction stove is not recommended.
According to the creators should Miito ensure energy saving. They refer to a Ted talk by Leyla Acaroglu, who pointed out that the daily wasted energy of the excess heating of water with electric kettles is enough to make all the streetlights in England for a night to burn. Where that calculation, incidentally, is exactly based and how accurate this is, that is not known.
