  2. Induction cooking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

    Top view of an induction cooktop. Induction cooking is a cooking process using direct electrical induction heating of cooking vessels, rather than relying on indirect radiation, convection, or thermal conduction. Induction cooking allows high power and very rapid increases in temperature to be achieved: changes in heat settings are ...

  3. Cooktop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooktop

    An induction cooktop involves the electrical heating of a cooking vessel by magnetic induction instead of by radiation or thermal conduction from an electrical heating element or from a flame. Because inductive heating directly heats the vessel, very rapid increases in temperature can be achieved and changes in heat settings are fast, similar ...

  4. Hob (hearth) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hob_(hearth)

    In a kitchen the hob is a projection, shelf, grate or bench for holding food or utensils at the back or side of a hearth to keep them warm, or an internal chimney-corner. In modern British English usage, the word refers to a cooktop or hotplate , as distinguished from an oven .

  5. Induction heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heater

    Induction heating is a non contact method of heating a conductive body by utilising a strong magnetic field.Supply (mains) frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz induction heaters incorporate a coil directly fed from the electricity supply, typically for lower power industrial applications where lower surface temperatures are required.

  6. Induction heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heating

    Component of Stirling radioisotope generator is heated by induction during testing. Induction heating is the process of heating electrically conductive materials, namely metals or semi-conductors, by electromagnetic induction, through heat transfer passing through an inductor that creates an electromagnetic field within the coil to heat up and possibly melt steel, copper, brass, graphite, gold ...

  7. Electric heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

    Methods of electric heating include resistance heating, electric arc heating, induction heating, and dielectric heating. In some processes (for example, arc welding), electric current is directly applied to the workpiece. In other processes, heat is produced within the workpiece by induction or dielectric losses. As well, heat can be produced ...

  8. Induction furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_furnace

    An induction furnace is an electrical furnace in which the heat is applied by induction heating of metal. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Induction furnace capacities range from less than one kilogram to one hundred tons, and are used to melt iron and steel , copper , aluminum , and precious metals .

  9. Air draft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_draft

    The vessel's clearance is the distance in excess of the air draft which allows a vessel to pass safely under a bridge or obstacle such as power lines, etc.A bridge's "clearance below" is most often noted on charts as measured from the surface of the water to the underside of the bridge at the chart datum Mean High Water (MHW), [3] [4] a less restrictive clearance than Mean Higher High Water ...
