The Caravel Ursula – An Initial Look - Page 5

Regarding maintaining temperature, I use a router speed control (dimmer) with my Peppina and it really keeps a repeatable quickly adjustable temperature. It has a three way switch-- full on, for warming up the water and off and variable for dialing in the temp. The temp is a dial and I just measured the water temperature at different dial settings, wrote it down and checked it now and then and it's pretty stable.

Is this true? Can anybody just begin to start building Caravel clones?

yes- of course- the patents have been in the public domain for some 40 years or more.
