New Zealand inventor boils water using sound

A 92-year-old New Zealander has invented a device that boils water with the help of sound waves. Other scientists and experts are baffled with the device and are not sure how it works.

Peter Davey, former spitfire pilot invented this device after he got theidea more than 50 years ago. It boils water with the help of sound waves, and he used this device to make a cup of tea. It looks like a typical lamp light and is cool to the touch. He inserts this silver bulb into the water and the water starts boiling within seconds. He claims it is based on the power of sound. The high frequency sonic vibrations from the silver bulb causes the water to boil. He is hesitant to reveal too many details and will share it with interested parties only. Mr. Davey said he got this idea about 50 years ago when he noticed how different saxophone notes caused items in the home to rattle. He transferred that idea into this boiler. There is a video at this link which demonstrates the ingenious water boiler. TV3 in New Zealand talked to Professor Arthur Williamson to find out how his device works, but he and others have no idea about its function. He said he has never seen anything like it. Williamson has doubts about this device; he thinks there may be electrodes inside the boiler heating the water. Williamson said he would love try this boiler if it becomes available in the market. Davey is confident about his device and is not yet ready to reveal the details:

I’m careful that I don’t divulge everything…I’m waiting to get a manufacturer that is prepared to put some money into it.

I hope Mr. Davey doesn’t tease us long with this device and releases it soon to the public. This device could make a good coffee maker.
