Hello I'm a CMA student from Southern California, San Diego
Some Articles I was considering editing are: Horned Toad Hills, CABAL II, and Ballistic Nylon.
What we choose to do the Wikipedia Project on[edit]
We choose to do the Wikipedia project on Electric steam boiler because we have two of these on the TSGB
Our three sources are:

Electric Steam Boiler[edit]
Making Steam With An Electric Boiler[edit]
The process of creating steam with an electric boiler is fairly simple. Electricity is run through an element that acts as a resistor to create heat through resistance. Water from the system or holding tank is then run over or near this hot element in a pipe or tank, heating the water to a suitable temperature, making the water hot enough to boil and become saturated steam [1], at which point the saturated steam is transported to wherever it is needed via the steam pipes that exit the body of the electric boiler.
Disadvantages of Electric Boilers[edit]
Electric boilers are looked down upon for multiple factors. These factors stem from the fact that electricity has to be generated somewhere and when you use electricity it is not free, which add on top of the problems of using it to boil water. Generating the power required to run an electric boiler can create just as many if not more pollution/emissions than burning fuel in the traditional boiler. Electricity is expensive, and with expected rises in the price of electricity the use of it in electric boilers will come with a large price.[2] Also one other possibility is in the event of a power outage, or a brownout, the boiler would become unusable, whereas gas boilers do not necessarily need an external power source to run.
Advantages of Electric Boilers[edit]
Some (might want to remove some and define who you mean by "some") feel that electric boilers are actually superior to fuel heated boilers. Research shows[citation needed] that using electric boilers may actually be cheaper than using a fuel heated boiler, while also being much more environmentally friendly. The electric boilers also require less equipment to be installed than a traditional boiler helping to reduce the high installation costs that will come with a fuel heated boiler.
Safety of Operation of Electric Boilers Over Fuel Heated Boilers[edit]
Because electric boilers do not use complicated forms (possibly expand?) of heat exchange, they do not contain many of the potential hazards that a fuel heated boiler can present. Electric boilers are also much easier to maintain because they do not need tube replacement that a fire heated boiler would require, due to soot and fuel residue, or any of the fire maintenance required for a fire heated boiler.[2] Electric boilers have small carbon footprints, and require less space overall [3] making them a good choice for a small operations that are in need of a boiler.
