1). You don't mean 'power'. You mean 'energy'.
'Power' is the rate at which the you pump the energy into the water. You can put it in fast (high power),
or you can put it in slow (low power). The total amount of energy it takes will be the same either way,
but it'll take longer at low power.
You don't pay the electric company for power (kilowatts). You pay them for energy (kilowatt-hours).
2). The answer to the water-boiling question completely depends on the starting temperature of the water.
Wind power does not directly boil water. Instead, wind power is used to generate electricity through wind turbines. This electricity can then be used to power heating elements that boil water in a boiler to produce steam, which can drive turbines to generate more electricity.
An electric water heater typically takes around 5-10 minutes to boil a glass of water, depending on the volume of water and the power of the heater.
Kettles use energy by converting electrical energy from a power source into heat energy to boil water. The heating element in the kettle heats up when electricity passes through it, transferring the heat to the water inside the kettle.
The electrical energy from the power source is converted into heat energy in the heating element. This heat energy is then transferred to the water, causing it to boil and releasing steam.
Electrical energy from the stove is transformed into heat energy as the current passes through the heating elements. This heat energy is then transferred to the pot and water, causing the water to heat up and eventually boil.
Simple Answer: Petroleum is burned to boil water into steam. That steam rises and turns the electrical generator.
The time it takes for 1 gallon of water to boil depends on various factors, including the heat source, altitude, and starting temperature of the water. Typically, it can take around 10-15 minutes for a gallon of water to boil on a stovetop under normal conditions.
The nuclear reaction produces heat, which is used to boil water. The steam then drives a steam turbine, producing electricity.
Nuclear energy is used to produce power in nuclear power plants. Fission in the reactors produces heat, which is typically used to boil water. The steam powers a turbine, which drives a generator to produce electrical power. The power is put on the electrical power grid, where it is used by business, industrial and residential customers.
If you boil water long enough, all the water will evaporate. However, since you posted your question in the Homebrewing category, let's answer the question with that in mind. If you're making a 5-gallon batch, you can expect to lose at least a gallon during the 90-minute (or longer) boil. When I'm making five gallons, I don't actually boil the whole five gallons. I usually boil three to four gallons and then add enough sterilzed water after the boil to equal five gallons. This helps in the rapid cooling process, which is essential in causing the "cold break," an important step in beer making.
Wind power does not directly boil water. Instead, wind power is used to generate electricity through wind turbines. This electricity can then be used to power heating elements that boil water in a boiler to produce steam, which can drive turbines to generate more electricity.
-- burn coal -- make heat -- transfer heat to water -- boil water -- blow steam through turbine -- turbine turns generator -- generator generates electrical power

The heat from fossil fuels used to boil water generates high-pressure steam, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator. As the turbine spins, it converts the kinetic energy from the steam into electrical energy, which can be used to power homes and businesses.
An electric water heater typically takes around 5-10 minutes to boil a glass of water, depending on the volume of water and the power of the heater.
