The limescale becomes less sticky when relaxed. That's why you play music to it. -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com Well: Looking at the specification which says it consumes 30 milliamps (that's presumably at 230 volts?) so it uses 230 volts x 0.03 amps = 6.9 watts. The specification also say it operates on audio frequencies from 0.5 to 5 kilohertz. So maybe someone has given this gadget a 'fair shake' ? (That's an attempt at a pun by the way ................. shake the water so the stuff doesn't deposit ...... !!!!). Groan? Apart from that IIRC this type of thing was debunked on a North American consumer oriented TV show. But that version was probably 115 volts. |
