Project: Induction Cooker
Induction cooker helping chefs cook faster and easier.
Another that, it does not emit heat, save electricity and safety.
 Principle of operation

When the induction cooker is operated, current

flows through the copper coil placed under the
glass and generates a magnetic field current within
a few millimeters on the top of the stove.
The bottom of the pot is made of magnetic material
in this range that is influenced by a magnetic field
and generates heat by itself. Unlike other cooking
methods, only the pot is heated, and the induction
hob surface is completely insulated.
