Induction heating
This paper on induction heating has a twofold purpose: to discuss the theory involved in high frequency heating of conductors and to discuss how this heating has been put to practical use. From a practical point of view, the phenomena dates back to the late 19th century to Oliver Heaviside and J. …

Induction Heating of Aluminum Cookware
Induction heating has become a popular alternative to other heat sources for stovetop cooking applications due to performance, efficiency, control response, and safety. The main drawback is that extreme difficulty is encountered when trying to head low-resistivity, non-ferromagnetic metals such as …
