Induction

For decades, people without access to kitchens (such as college students) have cooked meals on portable electric hotplates. The Bonbowl gives that concept a modern makeover, by incorporating faster, more efficient induction heating technology.

​If you're a fan of Ethiopian cuisine, then you'll be familiar with injera – it's a large, round flatbread that everyone pulls pieces off of to scoop up the food. Making full-size injera can be challenging in a normal kitchen, which is why the Rose grill was invented.

Global Energy Transmission (GET) has pioneered a mid-air inductive recharging system that can charge up several drones at once without requiring them to land. Build enough of these stations, and you can have an army of drones in the air that never need to land.

Continental AG has today announced that it will be bringing its induction charging pads for EVs along to CES next month, along with a new onboard charging system promised to give owners greater flexibility.

The tools to overcome problems with wireless charging already exist, according to a new paper that outlines how an LCD-like panel could be used to charge several devices simultaneously from a distance of up to 33 feet.

The team behind the original Ballbot, which relies on a single ball to get around, is back with an even less complicated system. The upgraded machine uses an experimental induction motor rather than a mechanical drive system for mobility, resulting in a robot with only a single moving part. ​

Paragon is a low-cost induction cooktop designed to provide precision cooking to the masses. The product, which is currently the subject of a crowdfunding effort, pairs with a temperature sensor and links up with an iOS app, all with the goal of providing a less stressful kitchen experience.

We all know that you should boil only what you need in a kettle to avoid wasting energy, but overfilling is still very common. The Miito combats this problem by using induction heating to boil just the water you need.

Despite many efforts to make the hoverboard a reality in the more than two decades since Marty McFly zipped around in Back to the Future Part II, we're still waiting. Does the new Hendo Board signal that the wait may finally be over?

Expectations were sky-high for the supercharged Kawasaki Ninja H2, and yet Team green still managed to blow our minds when it unveiled its 300-horsepower Ninja H2R at Intermot Cologne today, restoring Kawasaki's reputation as the brand of choice for slavering lunatics.

Scientists at North Carolina State University are developing a system in which power could be transmitted from stationary roadside stations to mobile receiver coils in electric cars passing by.

The Smart Universal Power Antenna (SUPA) system incorporates cordless lamps that receive their power by induction from a printed circuit board located on the underside of a tabletop. The result – no messy cords waiting to trip passers-by.
