You would need a source of power giving at least 500watts to heat a cup in reasonable time. You could obtain this from a lead acid cell such as a car battery. At 12v you would need a current of say 50 amps (this would give 600watts). So the heating coil should have a resistance of 12/50 ohms = 0.24 ohms. The connectors to and from the battery would need to be rated for 50 amps without heating up appreciably.

Will a metal cup or a styrofoam cup keep the hot water warm after a short time?

It is the Styrofoam cup as it is not a good conductor of heat but the metal cup is a good conductor of heat.


Will water heat more in a black cup or a white cup when sitting in the sun?

Dark objects will absorb more sunlight, converting it into heat energy, which is then passed on to the water - thus making it heat faster.
