Patent ID: 8803649

Claim:
An induction heating system, comprising: a) an input electrical power source; b) a first control circuit electrically connected to the input electrical power source; c) a load circuit comprising an inductor, electrically connected to the input electrical power source and control circuit, the inductor comprising: i) a first conductor layer; ii) a second conductor layer spaced apart from the first conductor layer; iii) an insulator layer positioned in the space between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer; and iv) at least one connector electrically connecting the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer; d) wherein when an electrical current, supplied by the input electrical power source is propagated within at least the first conductor layer, a magnetic flux is generated within the inductor when a change in at least one of a frequency, a magnitude, or a waveform shape of the propagated electrical current occurs; and e) wherein when a ferromagnetic material is positioned adjacent the inductor, heat is generated.
