This induction heater has a trick up its sleeve, too. Instead of using an air coil to generate heat in the cookware, this one uses an iron core instead. The project’s creator [mircemk] built an ...

An induction heater operates by surrounding the object to be heated with a coil carrying high frequency AC current. Basically, the entire setup acts like a huge transformer with a shorted secondary.

However, induction cooktops provide heat through coils underneath the surface. Around 90% of the electricity consumed by an induction stove is used for cooking food. There’s no energy escaping ...

Induction ranges not only have the benefit of being safer and more energy efficient than both gas and electric coil ranges, ...

induction cooktops generate heat through magnetic energy. Here’s how it works: The heating element housed underneath the glass or ceramic top is a coil made of copper. When you turn on the ...

Induction —which relies on magnetic properties to heat instead of a live flame or hot coil — has certain advantages over gas or radiant-electric heat, but it isn’t for every cook.
