All-Surface Induction Heating With High Efficiency and Space Invariance Enabled by Arraying Squircle Coils in Square Lattice.

This paper reports an all-surface induction heating system that enables efficient heating at a constant speed all over the surface independent of the specific location on the surface. In the proposed induction system, squircle coils are placed tangentially in a two-dimensional square lattice as opposed to commonly used hexagonal packing. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, a simple model setup wa...
