The voltage isn’t really the limiting thing (you actually get 220 volts to almost any American home for some appliances like A/C or cookers). The issue is that the regular 110V circuits aren’t meant for more than 15A and that then limits the amount of power coming from your wall. If you change the voltage, you’re still bottlenecked by the power from your wall (and it is that power that is almost all turned into heat to boil the water). A capacitor is too small but you could imagine a kettle with a battery to deliver more power than it can get out of the wall. I shouldn’t have been snarky about your USB-C comment. I’m sorry. |
