Electrode boilers utilize the conductive and resistive properties of water to carry electric current and generate steam. An a.c. current flows from an electrode of one phase, through neutral, to an electrode of another phase using water as the conductor. Since the water has electrical resistance, this current flow generates heat directly in the water itself. The more current (amps) that flows, the more steam produced. 100% of the electrical energy is converted into heat with no stack or heat transfer losses.
Low water protection is absolute since the absence of water prevents current from flowing and the electrode boiler from producing steam. Unlike conventional resistance type electric boilers or fossil fuel boilers, nothing in the electrode boiler is at a higher temperature than the water itself. If scaling should occur in the boiler, it will electrically insulate the electrodes, which reduces current flow and boiler output. There is no loss in conversion efficiency however, and , simply cleaning the electrodes will restore full boiler capacity. There can be no heat buildup in the electrodes, therefore, no electrode burnout, and no danger to the boiler itself.

And there are others -- google "electrode boilers."
Such a company might be interested in "super-efficient" mods to their product... hint to DaemonBart and Prof. Savic and others. And note that the engineering is already in place for these "electrode boilers".

At the same time, my main approach here is to make the new technology available to all mankind freely; I like open source. And I emphasize the needs of families in developing countries. I have sent emails to two humanitarian groups hoping that they will collaborate and help in all this... no word back yet, except from one that said they are considering it. (But it is the holidays.)
