GAH! Can't find it...

[tandoc]

I need help. Can someone point me to a website that has orthogonal drawings of electric kettles? preferrably really old ones.. and mab a few new ones. I've googled many different combinations of words.. nothing seems to work.

If possible, mab some isometric drawings too.. I can't find those either.. i have to get back to my 10 page science report :cry2:

First of all, what exactly is an electric kettle? I've googled it, but still haven't been able to find out exactly what it is. Do you cook in it, or... ??

:confused:

a kettle is a receptacle for boiling water. It has a spout, a plug and a lid. Some people boil eggs in it. However, there are also ketle drums and these are used in calypso music

eggs? how does that work? :confused2 wouldn't they get stuck thanks to the lovely spout?

just finishing off emails and beddie byes. It is after 2.00am in england.

Believe me, when you are a poor student lol. There are many thinks you can cook in a kettle. Eggs are one of the easiest. They just boil. Also, the residue from the shells tend to keep limescale at a minimum. Ah for those student days.....making soup out of potatoes and lentils because we had no money for meals lol. Happy happy happy days.

good night :D

http://www.outpost.com/product/2680042 Ahhh... interesting. I've always known a kettle to be a big pot to cook food or whatever in.

Go to bed Meg :p

Unless you want to help tandoc with his original query? :biggrin2:

[byrdgirl13]

well yes, there's that kind of kettle, though I tend to call those "pots" :) But I wouldn't call this other a kettle, I call it a water kettle. Actually, we have one, and we hardly ever call it a kettle at all - we just talk about the water - like "will you turn on the water."

and Meg, soft water helps the lime deposits too ... in our old water kettle, we had like 1-inch thick of lime deposits in the bottom!! (well, maybe not quite that much...) and it all started breaking up, rattling around, and falling out once we got a water softener. It was pretty disgusting.

yes.. back on the orignal topic.. an easier question.. does ne1 here know what an orthogonal or isometric drawing is?

and then there were two....

If memory serves correct, you cannot purchase an electric kettle in the US of A. Only the kind you heat over a stove element. Strange...

And, I know what an isometric drawing is. Orthogonal? No.

[tandoc]

an orthogonal drawing is drawing every face of an object.. 6 basically.. front, left, right, back, top and bottom views.. all in 2d

Uh... why the ---- not, it's also weird that you people don't know what one is, I didn't even realise people still used stovetop kettles.

[tandoc]

i still use a stovetop kettle.. u callin me pov? :D

i also no a guy in my VisComm class who uses a saucepan for tea and stuff

[MegUK]

Pov? No sweetie, it is easier to boil eggs in a stove top lool
