Indeed you can. You don't need to have a break, just dock it and then take another one straight out.Can't you ride it for 29 minutes, have a break and carry on for another 29 minutes? As you can have unlimited 30 min rides in a day.
No it doesn't.
And it loses heat over time (less than 100% insulation) and each time the storage container is opened.
physics works differently in teuchterworld then?
Isn't it a question of taking into account that you also have to heat the vessel (kettle, saucepan) each time you heat 1 x water, but if you heat X x water you still only have to heat the vessel once?
Obviously the element will take time to reach its maximum operating temperature but surely heat will start transferring straightaway just at a slower rate. You could also argue that if you boil a little each time but leave the excess in the kettle then you might use less by heating just what you need since the water left in the kettle will have a higher start temperature than a fresh load from the tap. Water heats up fast but cools down very slowlyIsn't it a question of taking into account that you also have to heat the vessel (kettle, saucepan) each time you heat 1 x water, but if you heat X x water you still only have to heat the vessel once?
not that it amounts to a lot, but I'm with the drink cold water brigade.
Er, that's exactly what I said isn't it?
Not the way I do it, my kettle has a measure and my cup is always the same size, but ok.
Agreed.
In teuchterworld we don't assume a perfectly insulated heating vessel, or instantaneous heat transfer.
poetic licence
That reminds me I need to ask my neighbour a little more about their energy consumption.
When I hear of a discrepancy like this it's usually the heating.
Red wall.lot will be too busy celebrating Patel's latest hate filled plan . The solvent ones like my dad was, won't give a flying fuck.
This is the company that took over from N Power (who are all cunts).
