  • Patent number: 11812536
    Abstract: A magnetic induction heating system is described. The heating system includes a receptacle and a substrate positioned within the receptacle. The substrate includes ferrous material and forms a cavity that can be filled with fluid, such as water or other liquid. An induction coil at least partially encompasses the substrate. A controller provides alternating current to the induction coil. The alternating current in the induction coil induces an electromagnetic field that creates heat in the substrate. The heat in the substrate heats the fluid. The heating system can further include valves on either end of the substrate that enable fluid to move between the cavity and a chamber that is formed by the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 9544945
    Abstract: A magnetic induction thermal heat unit, capable of producing heat by magnetic field, inducing direct agitation and friction, at the molecular level within a ferrous magnetic or semi-magnetic substrate. The substrate is specifically designed to capitalize on storing the heat generated and then transferring the heat generated to a subsequent device that requires or uses heat as its primary energy source. The system can use both a combination of induction heated substrates that are ferrous or magnetic in various configurations. The substrates can also be joined or bonded to non-magnetic or ferrous materials such as aluminum or copper as a conductive heat path to a heat pipe system where a transfer of thermal energy occurs. Additionally, convective and resultant radiant heat from the magnetic induction system can be directed back into the cumulative total of heat energy produced.
