When a kettle is discarded it may still fully function. Limescale build-up can put people off using it and, with the incredibly cheap price of electric kettles, it seems easier to buy a new one than clean it. What if we could encourage limescale to grow, shaped into a new object around a custom formed heating element? As the kettle dies in the eye of the user they are left with a new object. Or they brake off the limescale cup that has grown inside and, keep the kettle in order to make another cup, so that they end up with a matching set.
One image shows a kettle with crushed Cuttle Fish added to the water. The other is the crushed Cuttle fish, I hoped that the Calcium (and if there's Magnesium to) in the Cuttle Fish would help speed up the formation of limescale when the kettle is used.
