Yes, and personally i wouldn't even require a large metallic surface to turn red; not even dim-red for that matter! So, i may eventually manage to obtain a 12 - 29 cm (dia.) disc (initially from a special IH frypan) which is claimed to stabilize at 250 °C by virtue of the Curie alloys integrated into its laminated structure, whatever. If i wanted to. Most unfortunately a fully-customized DIY scenario actually calls for 2 different Curie temperature points since this should provide heat control at least equivalent to traditional thermostatic solutions based on current thermostatic systems (built around thermistors, themocouple/diode junctions, etc.): i suggest IH technology is particularily suitable & convenient for this portable application targetting safety & control as priorities. So i submitted the idea of some simple though practically indestructible core, one that would be put together inside a properly shielded shell i presume, since the magnetic circuit must be "closed" (completed) for increased efficiency (e.g. metallic mass). Curie alloys can wait until available, control would be manual at 1st. Once a pair of properly selected Curie alloys is found it should only take 2 pick-up coils to feed a synchronuous demodulator, having a clock reference at close proximity. Provided sufficient computing resources are available i would imagine the demodulator can be emulated in software, who knows even via BlueTooth or WiFi! What do i know?
What i can tell is that 2 secondary signals derived through their corresponding individual Curie alloys shall contribute to reduce delays, such as the measurement delay of a conventional temperature sensor for example. More precisely, i'd expect at least sufficient variations in amplitude and phase around the Curie points, while 1 single IH KISS driver/coil can power both alloys simultaneously until they become relatively "transparent" magnetically, one after the other, hence providing some well defined events and possibly the means to extrapolate temperature mesurements capable of reflecting heat variations deep within the metal itself, instead of having to go through thermal interfaces and what not (e.g. more delays).
Etc., etc... Etcetera.
I love the idea of a suave IH oil vape.
If only it could all fit in. Some trade-offs may be required i guess...
People all over the world read the opinions...
This is the main motivation for most of us to gather around, i believe: we do want it to happen!!
At various degrees.
However, if they would make more effort to craft and deliver their message here it would give them a big boost of support and may make the difference in whether this current campaign succeeds.
Public relations would take time though, so perhaps all we're waiting for is a solid proof of concept that will convince the Evoke supporters and possibly seduce more. That would seem like a priority to me in any case, but this is not mine to question.
...peoples' willingness to support the development...
Well, i'm afraid there are members who have varying perspectives on the chances this will solve all of the problems ahead. Don't forget the worse which could really happen is that another project will succeed instead...
The world of consumer good can be that harsh sometimes, does it not?
Good luck with this present project.
