Actually a lot of the ideas of The William are in real products now. Touch screens and timers are common nowadays and there are stoves that automatically reduce power before anything can boil and spill over.
Even the flexible zones are showing up in real products now (albeit with a lower resolution): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwljz2R0Z_M&t=54s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwljz2R0Z_M&t=54s
- theoh 8y agoInduction hobs also have the similar property that only the pan is heated. If it is removed, the surface cools down even though the power is still on.
- micheljansen 8y agoYes that’s actually what these flex zone hobs use as well. They just spread loads of smaller inductors over a larger surface so it does not matter where you put the pots. The main difference is being able to control the power per pot rather than per predefined zone.
