It is working in Quasi-resonant mode. Which is DC switching at AC waveform. I explain it in these videos: kaizerpowerelectronics.dk/general-electronics/hacking-ikea-2kw-induction-hob/
Is it possible to make an "invisible cooktop" by removing the glass and sticking the induction hob under a stone/porcelain countertop? InvisaCook's just looks like a regular induction cooktop without the glass.
Yes, that is possible. You might however need a thin section, to get the distance between coil and pan, down to the same as the glass plate. You do however need something that does not contain any ferrous minerals or other conducting materials.
You could easily build it into a Mazilli ZVS induction heater: kaizerpowerelectronics.dk/general-electronics/royer-induction-heater/ that is the simple one. The other option would be building a half-/full-bridge LCLR induction heater around a PLL controller or similar.

I would appreciate you making a video on making a SSTC from these salvagdd components and as little as possible extra components!
Nice. Would have been cool to see you convert it to a spark thrower..
There is always that for a future video!
@@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk awesome. Looking forward to it.
I would love to see you build a "quick and dirty" TESLA Coil out of the stove. 😊
Challenge accepted
Does this thing uses AC at all or just converts it to DC? Wondering if we could run those with HVDC directly from solar.

cool ill be tearing apart a bigger one soon!
What kind of model do you have to take apart?
@@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk its roughly the same wattage but it has bigger powerelectronics and square coils to make a rectangle cooking field!
Why don't you make a video of converting parts of this to an induction heater?

Save the temp stuff, to build your own BBQ! (Ive spent hundreds on Temp gages)
OMG!! We should build "Digital BBQ's (using recycled OVENS?"!!!!
