Let's try it with a ziplock, more backpacker-ish.

that's cool - but i'm going to make one of these for a pack. put all my gear in there and i'll be backpacking lite.
just have to figure out that extension cord thing... or carry batteries. maybe solar powered?

I tried puting a ziplock of water in a pot to boil it. It boiled but caused tiny pin holes in the bag where it touched the pot. It almost worked

Nice bmike, the other examples of the motors were cool.

It'll even work with a paper cup. If the water is below the edge of the cup though, that edge will burn because there is nothing (water) there to absorb the heat.

I made a stove out of paper once. I think it's in the Stove Works forum. It was a contest of sorts to make a stove out of paper

I used a paper cup as the burner filled with alcohol. I'll have to see if I can find that thread.
