That's a weird looking Mac screen

 

It says right there on the spec sheet for the cable sled, plus that other coffee maker has an ID plate stating it takes that voltage.

It's a weird voltage huh?

 

It will, but it won't last and it won't get hot enough.



400Hz frequency is getting into federally controlled components. Because 400Hz is commonly used in weapon systems

 

Hmmm, maybe a used Boeing coffee maker isn't a good idea then haha

I just want to brew my guests a cup of coffee from a completely ridiculous and unnecesary coffee maker, dammit!

 

Completely over looked that on the spec sheet lol

The reason they do it is because a higher Hz rating means a smaller capacitance is required therefore allowing smaller components to handle it all. Smaller equals lighter which is what you want in an airplane I'd imagine

 

here you go

 

So what do you think, is it possible?

 

Yeah this guy never got back either.

Depends on how much you like it as a decoration I guess, since that would be the worst case.

 

This is one of those instances where you keep the device but gut the insides and install normal kitchen electronics to make it work but allow it to still look cool

That would be a very expensive paperweight haha

 

Sure, everything is "possible" but definitely not practical in this scenario. Essentially you would need a 120VAC 1phase 60hz input VFD that would spit out your 120VAC 3phase 400hz. I sell em


They're about 500 bucks for a cheap one lol

 

Yeah this might be an option too, a basic coffee maker is dumb as shit. Could use the burner from one and then rework the control electronics to work on 12v or something. Maybe.

 

Well I hope you're not looking for a good cup of coffee

 

There goes my dreams

 

I'll ask my sources in the aviation industry.

 

I think it would be the cheapest option for him

 

You have like 10 other dreams in your garage you need to finish anyway

 

Those are nightmares. This one is still a dream, at least until he buys it.

 

There may be something that needs reevaluating when your dreams inevitably keep turning into nightmares lol
