Steam resonator

With this voltage across this plate cell at this frequency, how fast does the water reach the boil — and is it the dipoles or the current doing it?

Loading a circuit fills the slots; change any of them afterwards and the result is your variation on it. All saved circuits.

The parts

A plate cell from the library. Tubes and spheres are not plates; the heating calculation is for a uniform field between plates.

What is between the plates. Sets its loss at the frequency, its temperature, and its conductivity. About this part.

The drive

V

The peak voltage across the plates.

kHz

The frequency of the field.

From the parts

Every number handed to the simulation that you did not type, and where it came from. Each derivation that ran a calculation links to that calculation's page with these numbers in, so it can be checked alone.

Before it can run

  • Choose the plate cell.
  • w Water 1

    Tap Water (Soft), as the engine's nearest named water.

  • T Starting temperature 20 °C

    Tap Water (Soft)'s recorded temperature, as the starting point.

  • σ Water conductivity 125 µS/cm

    Tap Water (Soft)'s conductivity — the number that decides how fast the water heats.
