riddler 0 #1 August 11, 2006 It's a cool idea, and seems at first glance that it would be energy efficient, as well as provide on-demand hot water: Vulcanus Mark 4 From here, QuoteThe tankless system uses microwave technology to heat water on demand, saving energy and providing an endless supply of hot water for residential and commercial usage. The technology is designed to eliminate the deadly Legionella Pneumophila, since water will not stagnate, as it does with conventional hot water heaters. Powered by electricity and unaffected by the volatile gas markets, the Vulcanus MK4 can heat water from 35 degrees Fahrenheit to 140 degrees Fahrenheit in seconds and can source multiple applications at once: showers, dishwasher, sink usages and more. The Vulcanus MK4 is the size of a stereo speaker with a sleek modern look, making it ideal for condos and apartments, while powerful enough to serve the needs of any size family. Sadly, we cannot yet buy it Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
