    But Andy - how could that be?

    A high resistance gets hotter than a low one - you've told us that.

    And therefore since a higher resistance will use less electricity than a lower one, it will be cheaper to run.

    If you make your kettles and showers and cookers etc with high resistance elements they will get hotter, and work better and faster, and cost much less to run.

    You've told us this over and over again.

    You haven't been spoofing have you?

    You might all lose your shirts you fuckers

    Mr Handy andy - Really

    maybe he is gonna destroy all our shirts by burning them with a high resistance iron?..............mite take a while tho :-/

    See, you're even TOO THICK to notice it's not me.

    I despair, you are all FOOLS.


    Shame on you.

    Essentially it's just a kettle with a heating element 5 times narrower than conventional kettles.

    Narrower element = higher resistance - therefore a more intense heat & quicker boiling time.


    Who wants to patent it and go on Dragons Den then?

    I think the glory should all go to Andy - it was his idea.

    Maybe its time I should be thinking of moving into domestics...

    If these new kettles take off, the world and his dog will all want 1kV sockets in their kitchens to run them on. Almost limitless business.

    Could be more of a money spinner than Part P.

    Don't you mean 100A sockets ?


    .................:(:)

    No - to get 5x the power from an element with 5x the
    resistance, you need 5x the voltage (P=V^2/R thus V=sqrt(P*R)).

    I approximated 5*230 to be 1kV.

    (To get a heater element with 5x the power and 5x the resistance, the current would be unchanged, but the voltage needs to increase 5x)

    And what would the Amperage be ?


    Sockets are rated in Amps, not Volts.

    Sockets are rated for both voltage and current actually

    So why does electrical appparatus have a voltage rating Mr H???
     
  17. It must be his company thats selling the 500kw skirting heaters that Argos now sell. Makes perfect sense now and they even come with a plug.

    rating Mr H???



    Well, brainiacs, all of you, it may have escaped your notice that here in the humble home residence in the UK, the supply voltage is +/- 230/240volts.

    Why would anyone want to fit a 1000v socket in these circumstances ?


    One does not go out and buy a 230v socket. One goes out and buys a 13A socket.

    And to your question why appliances have voltage ratings on them, it's for you silly fkkers who can't think for themselves.

    Maybe its been tested to 1000v ..

    Maybe its been tested to 1000v ..


    Note to myself: I must remember to ask the man at B&Q if the socket I am buying has a voltage rating other than 230/240. :O
