Home Inventor Makes Device That Can Boil Water IN SECONDS

What is happening here in terms of physics is induction heating.  Have you ever heard of that term before?

Here is more information on the phenomenon from wikipedia:

Induction heating is the process of heating an electrically conducting object (usually a metal) by electromagnetic induction, through heat generated in the object by eddy currents (also called Foucault currents). An induction heater consists of an electromagnet, and an electronic oscillator that passes a high-frequency alternating current (AC) through the electromagnet. The frequency of current used depends on the object size, material type, coupling (between the work coil and the object to be heated) and the penetration depth.

The comments on the video thread are very enthusiastic.  Many are even stating they aspire to incorporate this type of energy efficient device in their homes.  What do you think is there a future to this type of heating?  Feel free to comment with your ideas.

    His family still has it but doesn’t want to share such a wonderful thing with the rest of the world unfortunately. Oh well, there’s so much on the verge of happening and being discovered. We live in a very exciting time even though things seem as if they’re really bad.

    And then, just think about all the significant advances we can make with water that boils!!! Can you believe it, water, that Boils!!! Holy F*ck!! What a time to be alive….-_-!

    The dude just made a tiny one fit for an ez bake oven. Induction cooking has been around since the early 1900 with commercial viable options made available around the 70s.
