Portable energy consuming device

A method of creating a portable temperature generating device comprising the steps of:

• forming a body portion with a heating element therein;
• bringing the heating element to a desired temperature using a first, fixed location power supply;
• disconnecting the heating element from the first power supply when the desired temperature is reached to create a portable temperature generating device;
• and
• maintaining the desired temperature of the heating element with a second D.C. power supply located within the portable temperature generating device.

A method of operating a portable energy consuming device comprising the steps of:

• storing kinetic energy in the device with the use of a power source located externally of the device;
• simultaneously storing electrical energy in a power supply located internally of the device only during the storage of the kinetic energy in the device such that when the external power source is separated from the device, the internal power source provides the energy to maintain the stored kinetic energy;
• and
• cooling and extending the life of the internal power supply by blowing external air over the internal power source only when the internal power source is being used to maintain the stored kinetic energy thereby maximizing the amount of energy available from the power supply.

A portable energy consuming device comprising:

• a body portion with an energy consuming load associated therewith, the load having system power losses;
• a power source located externally of the body portion and removably coupled to the energy consuming load associated with the body portion for causing the energy consuming load to achieve a desired operating level;
• and
• a power source located internally of the body portion and coupled to the energy consuming load only when the energy consuming load has reached the desired operating level and the external power source is removed therefrom to offset system power losses and to maintain the desired operating level of the energy consuming load.

A portable temperature generating device comprising:

• a body portion with a heating element therein;
• an external power source removably coupled to the body portion for bringing the heating element to a desired temperature and then being disconnected from the body portion to form a portable device;
• and
• an internal power supply selectively coupled to the heating element to maintain the desired temperature of the heating element in the portable device.

An improved portable energy consuming device comprising:

• a power source external to the device for storing kinetic energy in the device at a desired level;
• the external power source being disconnected from the device to make the device a portable device when the stored kinetic energy reaches the desired level;
• and
• a power source internal to the device for maintaining the desired level of the kinetic energy when the external power source is disconnected therefrom.
