Or what about using a miniature Stirling engine in the handle to drive a small generator to power it?]]>Aug 6th 2009 4:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/Aug 6th 2009 5:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/Aug 6th 2009 3:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/Aug 6th 2009 3:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/Aug 6th 2009 4:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/Aug 6th 2009 4:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/
It doesnt measure the volume but weight.

In other words it has a scale built to the bottom and display calibrated to show the volume of water by the weight. ]]>Aug 6th 2009 5:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/
Perhaps it uses conduction in some way?]]>Aug 6th 2009 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/
This seems like an over complication when you could just read the volume from the markings on the side of the cup. Why would you need this? And of course cleaning and maintenance are more complex, too. I have a pyrex measuring cup with markings that are not so hard to read and can survive lots of trips through the dishwasher.]]>Aug 6th 2009

Are there actually people out there who can't just look at the side of the measuring cup and see what the liquid level lines up with?

A simple glass measuring cup = easy to use, easy to wash, no batteries, cheap to replace, no crevices for bacteria to grow, and just as accurate (if not more).

I love gadgets, but not everything needs a frickin digital display on it!]]>Aug 6th 2009 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/Aug 6th 2009 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/Aug 6th 2009 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/new-fangled-digital-measuring-cup-actually-improves-upon-the-ori/Aug 7th 2009 12:40AM
