    Can Heating Water in a Vacuum Save Energy?

    This is awesome, I do want to eliminate the power source (if the battery dies the device will just be a junk you have to carry) Can you heat food by cold boiling? I suppose directly applying water into the pores in a vacuum state would be a fast way to hydrate something.. What do you suppose for...

    Can Heating Water in a Vacuum Save Energy?

    My original design was exactly that. I would create a tubberware that the food would seat in, and the device I am trying to develop will apply steam into the said vacuumed chamber. However, the number of components need to achieve such result is too high to be considered "efficient" (especially...

    Can Heating Water in a Vacuum Save Energy?

    I guess I should clarify, I am rehydrating freeze dried. I am trying to build an external backpack frame that would include an induction heater. So you can heat water as you hike, so you can eat on the go.

    Can Heating Water in a Vacuum Save Energy?

    Hey, thanks for getting back so my main goal is to heat water to +/- 100 c, so that steam can be generated, now I am looking for a result that will sustain heat enough to maintain BP with the lowest amount of energy possible. The ingredient I am trying to apply steam to is freeze dried food...

    Can Heating Water in a Vacuum Save Energy?

    Update: Thank you all for sharing your knowledge with me! I have moved on from boiling in a vacuum to induction heating. So far, I have been gathering information on how to build a Royer Oscillator induction heater. I figure with the 3 x 1300mah 11.1v batteries I am trying to power from, this is...

    Can Heating Water in a Vacuum Save Energy?

    How would you create the low H2O partial pressure? will the vapors be above room temp?

    Can Heating Water in a Vacuum Save Energy?

    Hey guys, I have been scouring the internet to find an answer but I can not. The problem is: I want to heat water to boiling point with the least amount of energy required. I found out that if you apply vacuum into an chamber with water (room temp), the boiling point can be as low as room...

    Can a Tool Maximize Power and Water Usage for Displaced Populations?

    I am an undergrad student at Ontario College of Art and Design. I am currently working on my thesis, which is to design a tool that can maximize the usage of power and water, for those displaced from their home (refugees, victims of natural disaster). The project is starting to build momentum...
