Induction Heater
#3
RE: Induction Heater
Induction heating is totally useless for most consumer applications, as the usual behavior for many of the cited consumer goods involve insistence on rapid power up and sudden power down.

For example, an induction heated stove top would not last terribly long unless built out the correct materials, because the sudden temperature shifts caused by, let's say, ending the act of cooking a meal would cause the metal to undergo limited induction hardening.

So any stove top, for example, would entail different materials and better manufacturing processes.

Nothing so far has managed to meet or beat the energy storage capabilities and simplistic structure of fossil fuels, where even marginally longer and more complex molecules require different engines to take advantage of such (diesel engines are heavier, have different timings and endure different conditions than a gasoline engine, for example).
