A British energy technology firm is developing the world s first microwave-powered boiler, which could replace standard gas boilers from 2022.
Heat Wayv, from the firm of the same name, uses microwaves, just like a microwave oven, to heat up water – providing a home with central heating and hot water.
The futuristic-looking boiler is also internet-connected, controllable on a smartphone app, runs almost silently and is virtually maintenance free .
It can be installed in a day in the same location as current gas boilers, works with existing home radiators and produces zero greenhouse gas emissions, which will help reach the UK s net zero emissions target by 2050.
