Abstract: An electric cooker is provided, which can grill foods by heat rays from a metal heating member using induction heating and is hardly affected by drops from the foods. This electric cooker comprises a work coil wound in a substantially pipe-like shape for generating an alternating magnetic flux, a metal heating member having a substantially pipe-like shape disposed inside and coaxially with the work coil for being heated by the alternating magnetic flux generated by the work coil so as to generate heat rays, and an insulator having a substantially pipe-like shape disposed between the work coil and the metal heating member. A wire mesh for supporting the foods is disposed adjacent to the upper opening of the insulator. A receiving pan is disposed adjacent to the lower opening of the insulator for receiving drops from the foods. The metal heating member preferably has a shape suitable for collecting the heat rays to the upper opening.

Abstract: An electromagnetic induction heater in which magnetic flux diffusing members are fixed to at least two ends of an iron core wrapped with an electric wire to form a coil, and a metal plate is connected to the magnetic flux diffusing members to heat a wide area of the metal plate uniformly. By supplying a commercial low frequency alternating power source of 50-60 Hz to the coil, magnetic flux is generated in the iron core. The magnetic flux, flowing in the magnetic flux diffusing members, is diffused in a longitudinal direction. Diffused magnetic flux flows through the metallic plate to generate Joule heat over the plate. Therefore, the entire surface of the metal plate is heated uniformly. Either a single-phase or three-phase alternating power source is used in this invention.

Abstract: An electromagnetic induction steam generator is compact or ultra-compact and highly efficient, and capable of continuous operation, intermittent operation and empty-heating operation. Magnetic flux passes through a closed magnetic circuit of two leg iron cores, a heater, and a yoke iron core after a low-frequency alternating current is supplied from a power supply to electric wire coils. Joule heat is generated inside the heater by the permeation of magnetic flux. When fluid such as water, is supplied from the fluid supply port, it is heated and becomes steam within the heating chamber. The steam then emerges from the steam output port.
