Hot water heaters have always been a major source of power consumption in homes and other buildings. Even tankless models still require an external power source to warm up water. The self-powered water heater is an entirely self-sufficient on-demand water heater that -- unlike other models -- requires no outside power source.
Traditional and Tankless Hot Water Heaters Consume Energy
Up until now, hot water heaters have always required an outside source of energy. This external energy is usually electricity, and most hot water heaters consume plenty of it. Even tankless hot water heaters, which have greatly reduced energy consumption compared to traditional models, still need electricity and use a significant amount of it.
The use of electricity to heat water might be preferable to many other ways of warming water, but it still has its downsides. All hot water heaters that use electricity:
- Cost a substantial amount to run because of the electric consumption
- Consume energy that renders them less environmentally friendly
- Don't heat water during power outages
- Can potentially short-circuit, causing injuries or fires
The Self-Powered Water Heater Heats Water Without External Energy
The Self-Powered Water Heater revolutionizes the way hot water heaters warm up water. Rather than requiring electricity, the invention uses the natural flow of water to generate heat.
As cold water flows into the Self-Powered Water Heater, the water is first directed past a water-wheel-like generator. The force of the water turns the wheel and powers the generator, which then generates the energy needed to heat up coils. The water is then directed past these coils, which warm up the water. The result is hot water that exits the system.
Thanks to this unique design, the Self-Powered Water Heater offers multiple benefits for both homes and businesses.
First, the design is much more economical and environmentally friendly to run. Homeowners and businesses simply don't have to pay to heat hot water (or worry about the environmental impact of such energy usage).
Second, the design is more reliable and safer than the electric-based models that are currently available. People can get hot water even when the electricity goes out, and there's no risk of a potential shock.
