Abstract— The usage of domestic induction cookers has metamorphosed from fixed cooking areas to novel engineering concepts like wireless power transfer. This implies the use of an induction stove and coils to charge a device wirelessly. This can be put into effect both statically and dynamically. In this paper, we will probe into its usage for static transfer of power wirelessly. The prototype here consists of 2 inductor coils placed in contact with each other, such that one remains connected to the stove and the other coil connected to a variable load. Upon providing a supply voltage of 220V, a led hovered above the arrangement gets illuminated. The aim of this work is to evaluate this concept applied to domestic induction heating appliances, with special emphasis in analyzing the effects of introducing the multi-coil system with dissipative media.

I. INTRODUCTION

DOMESTIC induction heating appliances base their operation on steamrolling an alternating current in the range of tens of kilohertz into flowing through an inductor. The basic principle of operation here is Faraday’s law.

An induction burner or stove consists of a ceramic plate with an electromagnetic coil beneath it. When the stove is switched on, an electric current runs through the coil, stirring up a fluctuating magnetic field, with no heat on the burner itself. However, once an iron or stainless-steel pan is placed on the burner, the magnetic field induces many smaller electric currents in the pan’s metal.
