Perhaps you can try descaling your kettle. You can either purchase a descaler or put 1/3 white vinegar + 2/3 water in the kettle and boil that. Leave the solution in the kettle overnight after boiling. The next day, dump out the vinegar solution and boil with just water. Leave that overnight and rinse out the kettle and you can use the kettle for making hot beverages now.
Why does my cassette radio to keep chewing up my cassettes?
One reason could be you dropped the radio and something is out of wack, (miss-alligned). Another reason is the heads are dirty. Try a head cleaner or demagnitizer. A third big reason is the unit is old, tired and worn out past its expected programed obsolence! Yes, many items are programed to go after a certain time frame, or amount of playing. Cheep springs snapping and rubber belts loosening could be part of the problem. This helps keep the economy going and people employed. Manufactures add in programed obsolencet parts keeping up the demand for their products. Repairs usually cost more than the replacement, which keeps technicians employeed. Good luck, and hope this helps answer your question.

What is the difference between galvanic and alkaline cells?
It's actually "galvanic" and "alkaline" cells, but no matter.
To understand any battery you must first understand the galvanic series, which says that if you take two dissimilar metals and create a conductive path between them, which is called the electrolyte, electricity will flow from one to the other. (The galvanic series was actually invented for sailors so they'd know what metals on their ships would corrode fastest in seawater.) So if you wanted to build a battery that puts out two volts, you'd pick two metals that are two volts apart on the galvanic series.
A galvanic cell has two metals submerged in sulfate solutions of themselves (normally copper in copper sulfate and zinc in zinc sulfate), and a conductive pathway connecting the two containers of sulfate solutions.
Any other kind of battery has the two metals submerged in the same container of electrolyte. An alkaline battery uses a potassium hydroxide paste as its electrolyte.
