Abstract:
1. A method for providing self-regulating capacitive electro-heating, said method comprising: (A) applying a single RF frequency Waveform power source to a capacitor coupled to said RF frequency Waveform power source, said capacitor including a variable enclosure; wherein a medium including an object having a variable weight is present in said variable enclosure and the single RF frequency is a frequency between 1 MHz and 250 MHz; (B) adjusting dimensions of said variable enclosure to maximize electric field capacitive coupling to the object and minimize capacitive coupling to empty space; (C) measuring an impedance of said variable enclosure including said object having variable weight; and (D) adjusting parameters of said RF frequency Waveform power source based on said measured impedance of said variable enclosure including said object having variable weight.
