Abstract
A liquid container and heating element may be capable of boiling a liquid. A heating element is built into the container and/or the heating element and container may be modular. Optionally, the liquid heating system may be functionable without being plugged in to an electricity source. For example, it may be portable and/or battery powered. Optionally, there may be insulation between the power supply (e.g., battery) and the heating element. Optionally, the electrical elements may be configured for a high current and/or low voltage. Optionally, the liquid heating system may be insulated to keep the contents in a desired temperature. For example, a steam cover may cover a steam hole for when the heating unit is not active and/or may be automatically removed when the heating unit is active.
Claims28
A liquid heating system comprising:
- a liquid storage unit comprising a container with a steam hole configured for allowing steam generated by beating the liquid in the liquid storage unit to escape therethrough;
- a steam hole cover, which covers the steam hole;
- a heating element, located within the liquid storage unit to heat the liquid in the liquid storage unit;
- an activation switch, connected to the steam hole cover and to the heating element such when the activation switched is in an on position, the heating element is activated and the steam hole is opened and when the activation switched is in an off position, the heating element is deactivated and the steam hole is closed;
- and
- a power source, for supplying power connected to the activation switch and to the heating element.
A method for storing and heating liquid comprising:
- storing a liquid in a liquid storage unit until heating is required;
- activating a switch;
- opening a steam hole in the liquid storage unit in response to said activating;
- drawing power from a power source to a heating element contained within the liquid storage unit in response to said activating to produce heat;
- heating the liquid in the liquid storage unit with said heat to boil said liquid;
- passing steam from the boiled liquid through the steam hole;
- releasing the switch in response to said passing;
- and
- deactivating of the heating element in response to said releasing.
