Product: Kettle
Heron tea pot   (+6)  [vote for, against]
A visual clue before the annoying whisle.

A steam kettle designed as a scale version of Herons' steam engine which begins spinning before building up enough steam to activate the whistles.

I thought you had to smoke it or inject it - this is much more civilised. Might appeal to the less reputable elements of retirement homes.

Would it have ennough power to be geared to a pouring device?

I imagine that steam would have enough power to lift a piston large enough to make self powered pouring possible.
