Vulcanus Microwave Water Heater

Here's a report on a microwave water heater that might save consumers money.

As we’ve already learned, the Vulcanus MK4 is a tankless water heater that uses microwaves to change standard ground water to piping hot in seconds. It is based on the Faraday Box–similar to the microwave in your kitchen. What makes the Mark 4 different from other water heaters is it’s size: 24×14x7.5 It is also esthetically pleasing, allowing ’stand alone’ use or versatality in placement. From the website, “This is the only system of its’ kind that can function under all climatic conditions.It can convert water at ground source of 35F-140F within seconds in unlimited capacity. It is so simplistic in design that one requires only a cold water inlet pipe and a hot water exit pipe be attached to its’ two terminals. Design, shape,reliability, cost, energy savings, compact, and user friendly, Vulcanus is this and more. We are so confident of our product that we offer a 10-year on the Faraday casing, 3 years on all parts, and a full 1-year warranty on labor.” The unit is also fully recyclable–although I would imagine this applies to only the casing. In comparisons, they mention that the unit only weighs 20lbs. Corrison is ‘nil’ and a gas infrastructure is not needed.

Why do gas fired water heaters (tank type) use galvanized venting and the tankless models require stainless steel vent pipes?

I’ve done a quickie bit of math on energy usage of the microwave hot water heaters. You may find the results helpful as a ballpark guide to figuring out energy cost and consumption. You can find my results by clicking on the link immediately below (the link that says "Posted by Tankless...").
