Here is my take on it...knowledge courtesy of the USN. Power (P), measured in Watts is directly proportional to Voltage (E) and current (I).
P=I * E, as one can see, if you change the voltage or current your changing the value of power. Also, P= (I * I) * R, where R equals the resistance in ohms. Again, one can see by adjusting the resistance one will affect the power. So, a "wattage dial" can actually be tweaking the resistance or voltage component and labeled as such so one knows what watts they are trying to adjust. Otherwise, they would have to impart the formulas to figure out themselves. So, when making CS, power, in watts, changes when the voltage is changed. Another way power is changed if using a constant voltage source, the water will get less resistive as brewing goes on, the current therefore will increase and so will the power being consumed. My $0.02. Now, I just need to figure out how to make a stirring unit, one idea so far is incorporating a 12v windshield washer pump, taking water from the top of the jug and pushing it out at the bottom along the wall of the curved glass.....just an idea so far, my luck all the pumps will be metal.
