I honestly applaud the kid for having an imagination, so far the only thing kids know these days is smartphones and video games etc. So I made a real self heating thermos, most of the work is already done, I just removed inner foam so the outer area could be filled with water. the heat rises from a coil placed under the glass with a basic on and off switch and temperature setting. I'll try and make another so I can paste an instructable.

This isn't actually suppose to do anything. a child asked me to create this post for him. Honestly I told him it wouldn't make sense, but he insisted. So just to make this kid happy I took some pictures he drew in paint, and wrote the instructions. I told him there were plenty of other ways to make hot water but like I said, he's a child. long story short its here but its not gonna do any good, honestly it was just fun to see the kid smile, he posted something and liked it.

i originally use something like a solder- wire coil but i remembered it burning and spilling all the water. so, i used foil instead. i recently tried using cup and put the paper one inside. it's way better

isn't there a health risk by using aluminum foil? not being sarcastic just simply asking.

i started out by using a aluminum flashing sheet to wrap the cup but it was really thick and took way to long to heat.

As far as I can see, the most this will do is flatten the battery very quickly.
Don't use the foil, use a coil of nichrome wire in the bottom of the cup.

this would have been better with the actual pictures.
