It's basically the same physics involved in this toaster https://youtu.be/1OfxlSG6q5Y https://youtu.be/1OfxlSG6q5Y same channel.
Thing heats and deforms (change properties), when it reaches temperature n, thing deforms just a bit too much, cuts electrical contact.
- bch 6y agoThese are both clever, but different physics. The toaster uses metallic elasticity (and a subsequent distortion) due to heat, and the rice cooker uses the heat-induced disappearance of magnetism to disengage a switch. (I have one of those toasters, and they’re very pretty and charming to see work.)
