It must have been a very short amount of time. 2 HP is 1,500 watts, probably more light than all lightbulbs in my house combined.

The muon traverses a few hundred meters of detection volume very close to the speed of light, so in the order of one microsecond.

1500 watts is about what an electric kettle uses.

American kettles. Kettles in hard core countries push 2300 to 2400 watts ;-)

Slow-boiled water gives superior flavor!

Keeps the midichlorians from jumping out.

Meh, Lidl sells 3200w kettles.

Where are the three phase models??

Seriously though, a 15A kettle sounds great.

Photonicinduction's 10-second kettle[1] managed about 10kW max (took around 5s to boil water) for a short time, 440V 23A. Then the resistance dropped, it went up to 16kW (426V 33A) and popped. 7-8kW (375V 19A to 400V 20A) seemed more sustainable.

2500W on 240V, single phase AC, 16A, German 'Schuko'-plug is normal. Or was. Some EU-regulation limits that to 2000, or even 1500W only now, for new devices, or something.

Don't care. Still have the old ones, and whatever the electrician wired as '120V 3-phase AC' for the full US-style range in the US.

UK 240V with 13A sockets, 3120W. Sounds like Lidl are rounding up.

American stove startups can do it in 40 seconds with ??? watts by precharging a battery.
