Battery Operated Popcorn Machine - How To Discuss

Battery Operated Popcorn Machine

Is it a battery powered popcorn guru? If so, where can I find it?

I did a survey and I can only see where people change gurus to get batteries. I saw one that runs on batteries. The only other thing is an article about a solar powered model from 2 years ago, but I can't see a working model. Popcorn is easy to put on the stove, so why throw away the battery?

Because popcorn needs a lot of heat to heat enough popcorn cover to evaporate and explode (that's why popcorn pops), it's impossible to make popcorn in small, ordinary batteries. A 12 volt electric motor battery (size 27) may have enough power to power a useful popcorn, but forget about AA batteries or things like that. Some electric current is required to generate enough heat to remove more than 2-3 popcorn grains. I'm not familiar with any of the battery-powered commercial devices. However, if indeed. If you have something like that, you would consider buying an inverter that can produce about 4,400 watts, run 27 (or two) electric motor batteries, and then buy commercial popcorn. It will work. (Of course, charging the battery will be the next project.)
