The Snail, Peter Alwin, India – Micro Induction Heating
The Snail is a portable heating and cooking device based on magnetic
induction processes. Such is the size and versatility of the Snail, it can
be stuck directly on to a pot, a pan, a mug etc. to heat the contents.This
reduces the amount of space required for conventional cooking whilst adding
portability to the process. Powered by a high density sugar crystal
battery, the Snail converts the energy from the sugar, heating up a coil to
conduct the magnetic induction process to the utensil. Integrated sensors
detect the food type being heated; automatically adjusting the time and
temperature. A simple touch sensitive display with interface helps to
monitor the process.
