New Microwave Based Water Heater Announced

New Microwave Based Water Heater Announced It's all about instant hot water these days. According to Canada's Globe and Mail, a company called Pulsar Advanced Technologies is about to announce a product that uses microwave technology to instantly heat hot water. According to the article, the Vulcanus MK4 "can heat water from 35 degrees Fahrenheit to 140 degrees Fahrenheit in seconds and can source multiple applications at once: showers, dishwasher, sink usages and more. The Vulcanus MK4 is the size of a stereo speaker with a sleek modern look, making it ideal for condos and apartments, while powerful enough to serve the needs of any size family." This is exciting news for anyone tired of being at the mercy of natural gas prices, not to mention those just looking to reduce their energy footprint.

Looks like this technology is finally coming to fruition. A U.S. company named Wanderport Corporation is planning to release microwave-heated water heaters this year.

Wanderport is a publicly traded Pinksheets company (ticker WDRP). Sounds like a 'hype' story to run the stock up and sell millions of shares/dilute.
It's still in preliminary stages so I highly doubt the product will be on the market this year; maybe in several years....
