If you can get the display of the stove to be on the front instead of the top - it would become infinitely more accessible to people who cook in a seated position.
It would also be infinitely more accessable to infants and small children to burn your house down by playing with shiny buttons and screens. There is a reason why most stores have the buttons difficult to reach. Maybe an app to control the stove would be a better solution for people that must cook sitting.
@@Scudzzorz15 Have you ever used an inductive stove? They tend not to power the coils without a pan on top. Don't store metal objects on top of the stove and it won't even turn on. Not every household has toddlers either, product design shouldn't assume everyone does, but that SOME do. Different households, different needs, different products. Also, easy enough to implement a locking feature in countless different ways.
Dude just wants a good stove top for his wife on a wheelchair. Chill out ppl. I'm all for the idea m8. Hope your wheelchair business and the thing with casetify goes well.
@@boomers_pb1) Yes I have used an induction. 2) Yeah I know they don't work unless the appropriate cookware is in place, but a child twisting a knob to *10 effing KW* would start a kitchen fire in about 20 seconds if you were already cooking, or if you had something on the stove still from dinner for any small amount of time. 3) Design choices are almost always made to be more marketable. 40% of households have children while 1% of the population is in a wheelchair. I know MOST parents would just not take the risk. There ARE stoves that have knobs on the front. This stove is already niche enough that they should in no way intentionally hamstring their customer base. 4) Sure, a lock. You definitely sound like a person that doesn't have children. Safety features on something as dangerous as a 10 KW stove shouldn't be things that can be forgotten, they should be something that is inherently as safe as possible or simply inoperable by children. 5) I think the magnetic knobs could maybe be optionally moved to the front by the customer, which would be a nice solution, but the added cost per unit probably would make it prohibitive.
@dapz do point me at such a project, network, details, build. Outstanding. I thought I was nuts. I am not Elec Engineer I just could see the connects from watching Solar Batt Bank contructs/vids. How did you do it?
In Germany we use three phase electricity. 3*230V 50Hz. The usual sockets are 230V 16A, which is 3680 W. The standard stove and oven combination in Germany is designed to operate at 3*230V*16A, resulting in an 11kW power consumption. Specifically, the stove component often draws from two phases, amounting to 7,4kW. In modern kitchens, there is a trend towards separating the oven, potentially with its own dedicated outlet. Consequently, the stove could then utilize the full 11kW. For new constructions in Germany, regulations mandate that the cables connected to the stove must be capable of handling 20A. Although a 16A fuse may still be in place, there is flexibility to upgrade it to 20A, providing a power capacity of 9,2kW for two phases or 13,8kW for three phases.
In the USA, we're stuck at 240V unless you live in a commercial zone area. Stoves are 240V @ 50A, but they never pull a full 50 even with all the burners & oven going. Using a battery/capacitor bank solves the issue of the low voltage. Even though it's a short duty cycle, I'm curious how they handle heat when the battery is cranking out 11kw. electric cars, for example, have coolant, pumps, & radiators.
The 16 A flow between a phase and neutral (230V). If every of the 3 conductors has a load of 16A to neutral, there are 9,23 A between every pair of two phases (3*9,23A*400V = 11kW). I studied physics. There is a small difference between sqrt(3)*400V*16A and 3*230V*16A The reason is that the voltage between two phases is not exactly 400V in a 230V system. sqrt(3)*230= 398,4 or 400/sqrt(3)=230.9
My favorite part of this video was that the UA-camr did not insert themself into the video until the end, but actually just showed the subject matter with nice footage and a good interview. Refreshing.
Using multiple appliances as a network of battery storage with inverters that can serve the home is a cool idea, however - no mention of how it isolates itself from the grid when there is a power outage, and avoid creating dangerous conditions for line workers attempting to restore grid service. It likely wouldn't pass code for that use case scenario until that consideration is planned for/mitigated.
I've wondered about this ability to "Island" a house from the grid in power outage situations. Obviously generators have been around as backup for generations- so how have they adapted for safety when the power goes out, and why can't batteries function in essentially the same place as a generator with the same safety protocols?
I'm a Resident Chef for a large appliance company and have cooked on almost every induction range on the market. Your cooktop is really innovative and the design is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing these in the wild.
so basically it sounds like a Breville controlfreak cooktop. Currently i use a Thermador Freedom 36" induction cooktop. It can have 6 pots or pans and no fixed burners. The whole cooktop surface can be used , you can put the pans anywhere and move them around. Its incredible.
This was exactly what I was thinking too lol. I am torn between this and the Thermador freedom. I like the flat and full surface cooking for easy cleaning and a variety of pan sizes, but I like the temperature control and physical knob of this stove. How good are the touch controls and temperature control on the Thermador? Maybe a compromise is to get the Thermador Freedom and Breville ControlFreak for precise tasks.
The thermador works great all around. But if you want to see the temp numerically the the control freak is the only real option. But remember it tells the temp of the pan not it’s contents.
@@jstones9872 Thanks for the response! Just to be clear you haven't had issues with the touch controls? I have heard issues with it being laggy and not working with wet hands.
Exactly what I was thinking. For the price of the Impulse, I'm not sure why someone would buy this over a Thermador Freedom. If you want backup, just connect an inline UPS with battery.
The removable knobs are really awesome. I wish they could actuate and lower the 4 heating platforms to make the entire thing completely flat. With a flexible heat res seal on the cracks. Would be super easy to clean. Awesome company
@@sam_damico wow I can't believe I'm getting a reply from the CEO on YT faster then by e.... 😇 Hope you see it & respond. Meanwhile all the best! You guys are amazing
From room temperature to instant boil is game-changing, not merely for convenience but environmentally. Way way way more power efficient to get a pot or pan to the desired temperature as fast as possible. Storing a ~20min buffer of energy in a battery is genius. These are the kinds of inventions you know will take off because the solution seems so obvious in hindsight. I genuinely have nothing to do with this company, so this is an honest comment on the product. I'm definitely keeping an eye on what you guys make next. Love these gems of real value-add with zero downsides.
I'm glad that I live in Europe, where we usually have a three-phase 400V connection at home and induction cookers can have 10-11kw without the need for batteries... :)
@@rsilvers129 Wow, 90A takes a decent cross section of wire. I estimate it to be around 25mm^2 Welding cable category :)) Interesting information, thanks
I like that you waited until the very end of the video to present yourself and you focused the video on the subject matter, letting the people speak their minds.
Saw this monstrous oven at a trade show (I watched online) that was made for the European market that had a double 3-phase connection. One 16 amp connector for the oven and one 16 amp connection for the six burner stove. The oven was enormous, much wider and taller than standard, could reach 375 degrees Celsius (700F) and had a bunch of accessories for stuff like grilling and pizza making. Like, it had a rotisserie thing and a pair of stone inserts to mimic a wood fired oven and a bunch of stuff for bread making. The stove and the oven didn't have to be mounted as a single unit and I think most people would probably mount to oven part at table top height in a cabinett or something because if you actually stuffed a piece of meat large enough to fill the oven in it you would blow out your back if you had to crouch to get it in. Oh, and the stove part could bring a full 20 litre pot to boil in like under five minutes with just one of the burners. It could be paired with a fan system that basically looked like an evacuation fan when they showed what it could do, it could probably provide a complete air change of your house in a couple of minutes if you cranked it to max. And all this was meant for home enthusiasts, not for a professional kitchen. I remember I thought it cost as much as that two bedroom apartment I saw advertised earlier the same day, but I guess if you are wealthy enough, you don't mind paying that much for kitchen appliances. If the same company ever decided it would make a freezer, it would probably freeze things to absolute zero in a quarter hour and be run by its own separate connection to the grid. 😁
So, one of those things he talks about with the power wall that he says there’s an issue, is very important for safety. Without that box that goes between the battery and the grid, you are potentially energizing powerlines that workers believe are not energized.
All grid workers have a standard safety protocol which includes testing, followed by bonding to ground. They walk on to every job site, thinking that it is electrified and have to prove to themselves that it is not.
@@Mark_The_Mayven Local US electrical codes require this separation and a shutoff to grid feed when the power goes down just for this very reason. So unless you are 100% off grid, this safety measure isn't going away.
this one is counterintuitive -- there are grid-tie only solar systems that _do not_ have this, because if the inverter shuts off on loss of grid that also is OK. If you want to be able to back up your entire house you 100% have to have this.
I have a combined induction and gas cooktop which I love. I use induction 80% of the time but still prefer gas for some things like cooking a steak. Plus, we have some copper pans that don't work on induction :)
he's spot on about stoves being the one mental block for people switching off of natural gas gas companies know this too, thats why they actually throw a lot of money at influences to get them to cook using gas, subtle advertisement kinda stuff, because a stove is the only thing that really matters to people for gas(despite not making the most money for gas companies), the rest of it the gas company just gets you with add ons once you have the infrastructure set up
Distributed storage in high draw appliances is a great concept. Mini bidirectional inverters, and batteries add expense, but you are also buying a home battery. Induction is much better than gas for many reasons, that have been covered before. In 240v land, induction cooktop have a power boost mode of 3.2kW, which is only a third of this beast. Thise are blood beautiful knobs!
I had this exact idea, it's super refreshing and interesting to listen to the actual complexity of going from idea to build. I love it! Small brilliant detail, I love the knobs instead of the useless capacitive touch buttons that most companies use. Can't wait until you make it over to Europe!
At first it just seems like they’re answering a question no one asked, but their “master plan” actually makes sense. I like the way Sam thinks, I think they’ll go far, I hope they do.
Brilliant! This guy should be recognized Internationally & given a gold medal. I will get in touch with Impulse Labs. Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!
Great video. Didn't think I would be watching the whole thing going in, but here we are. That looks like a fun place to work. It's so hard for startups with good ideas like this to really pierce into a market. Always seems like these types of places end up selling the technologies they invent versus selling a successful product. But sometimes they make it big. I hope things change and places like this are given better opportunities to progress.
A network of batteries in the house!? What a cool idea. I’m ready for it now. I have battery storage but can’t fit much more the 15kwh in my garage. Having spots throughout the house with additional 3-5kwh nodes would be something. Sign me up!
Scott, I agree with that depending on battery chemistry. I wouldn’t use Li-Ion or LiPo. But LiFePO are considerably safer and don’t explode like Li-Ion. This particular technology is a ways off and battery chemistry and design will continue to improve to provide safer options.
@@johnprouty6583I did a cursory search of LiFePO, and unfortunately the tradeoff for using LiFePO is capacity. Even at a theoretical maximum, doesn't come close to the highest capacity Li-ion. That doesn't mean it's not better for this application, if the materials are cheaper, and size not an issue, then getting a larger battery for the same capacity would be better as it is a safer technology. It also runs at a lower nominal voltage, so that could also lead to other issues with power delivery. I'm not a power engineer though, so I don't know much about the subject matter.
@johnprouty6583 I am curious about the topic you bring up. I think it can be reasonably agreed upon that Li ion or LiPo would make absolutely no sense in this kind of implementation. LiFePo is an interesting case that is assumedly safer than those options. But is it really? The variable that concerns me is temperature regulation in end-use implementation in this context. LiFePo is pretty amazing, but still essentially is a band aid solution to the fundamental problem that batteries are unsafe and essentially disposable.
@@mynameissang I think “safer” is kind of the operative term here. If they are breached mechanically they don’t explode (may be a bit of an exaggeration) like Li-ion. But if you draw over their rated discharge rate you’ll certainly have problems. While the report touted the 45 second boil I don’t see that as a particularly practical as it doesn’t save energy, same energy is required to heat a certain quantity of water to a certain temperature (less time related losses) the infrastructure required to handle the current required would bump up the costs a fair bit - larger conductors, beefer electronics, etc. As far as inherent safety, anytime you are moving energy or storing energy - gas, batteries, mains power, etc. - there will always be some safety issue you’ll need to consider. Regardless, I still like the idea of networked islands of energy storage.
It's cool to see someone innovate on this. Putting the power where it is needed makes sense, but will be a nightmare to repair / maintain if the inverters and cells are not standardised. But that IP is your key asset if you don't do your own manufacturing ... Miele had integrated thermal sensing for a long time. 7.5-11kW are typical for modern european stovetops ...
True, but I feel that the display contributes to the image of a very premium product. The oven is very likely the first version as a proof of concept to present to the average consumer that this is in fact a high end product, thus creating a desire to own this product. Very more likely down the line, this company or companies similar/adopting this kind of mentality, product line or technology, will eventually make more low end products for the average consumer. Which... won't have the display, but it's a good preview of what the future could hold. 👍 Which I think is very cool.
@@TristanKazumiK While my experience with the ultra-premium is limited (I have some though), the display is what someone without experience with Really premium products, thinks a premium product should have. It's just a false perception... Really premium items do their job/function as near perfect as is possible First, and Look elegant second. The looks part, while subjective, tends towards simple being More elegant and premium than complex. A digital display will look dated at some point. It *will* be the Harvest Gold of an era, gaudy because it was so over-used. It's a failing of the most simple of concepts, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. While this product looks appealing to me, and the function really grabs my attention (minus back-feeding the grid), the display is a turn-off. Just guessing at the price premium these products will demand, there's simply no way I'd pay to have something that was visually over-done ~ you have to interact with this thing, looking at it, EVERY time you use it. Don't make it garish to the eye.
I agree. Nothing wrong with offering both versions though. I will take high quality buttons and knobs over a graphical display for most devices. Look at the huge mechanical keyboard market for proof. Some people have never turned a high quality volume knob or pushed an all metal button for a horn. The best stuff is pretty rare cause most people cheap out on the quality of buttons and knobs. There's a dimmer knob a boat product place sells that feels so smooth, better than any dimmer knob I've interacted with before, but it's like $30-40 when others cost less than $10 so not many people get to experience high quality knobs.
Having been in global electronics manufacturing and design for over 20 years, and nuclear power design and gone to cooking school… this is a great idea. Instantly I knew what the battery was for in the product and temp control is long overdue. I am placing an order and would love to be an early tester.
He mentions that gas stoves are useless during a power outage. I'd counter and say that having a gas stove was the only reason my house was capable of having heat for 2 days this past winter when large amounts of Chicago had no power. Being able to boil water in a large pot allowed us to have at least "some" heat during that time. And its from 2020.
This would be a great concept for new constructions and recent houses by simply adding a smart device to the main panel to isolate the house from the grid during an outage. Example of process to allow backup power from a variety of appliances. 1: Power goes out 2: Smart device detects loss of power from grid and disconnects house from grid. 3: Smart device alerts appliances that power is needed and apliances supply power from batteries upon verification from resident via physical button or mobile app. 4:Grid power eventually restores and smart device will upon verification from resident (to prevent random interuption) alerts appliances to switch back to nomal use and Upon house fully de-energizing reconnects to grid.
First you have tri-phase for extra power, efficient. That battery he held looks something like a LiFePo or Lithium Titane that'll be half-dead in couple of years and holds enough energy for a toast or two (it means probably has less than 1S 20 Ah so about 100 Wh meaning that the 10kW usage will last about 30 sec). I mean it's a cool short term boost to quickly heat stuff (somewhat at the expanse of your pan at this power), but it's not going to do much for your grid.
It looks like a Headway 40152S cell. It is an high power and high cycle count battery. It is possible to use multiple in series for more power and a greater voltage conversion efficiency. A total of less than 25 cells (less than a car battery in weight) are required to output the full 10kW for more than 4 minutes.
@@jeremievenne5138 I doubt there is space for that under the cooker to fit in most kitchen. That's why I guess it can only do short bursts (even 2 min is short for cooking but useful in some scenarios).
Great idea. However, I prefer flat induction plates. A) they only cost a 10th of what you are asking for (I know, it's an unfair comparison but still a valid point) B) flat surfaces are the most easy to clean. One more reason to never go for gas stoves.
As super cool as it is, $6k for it means I'm going stay with what I have for the foreseeable future, until the market can bring that price down to normal consumer levels. Great job on innovating though!
Breville has that. The Control °Freak® induction cooking system is the first of its kind to accurately measure, set and hold any cooking temperature from 77°F / 25ºC - 482°F / 250ºC. Precise temperature setting means you can replicate sublime dishes to exact standards night after night.
This is excellent. Between solar panels, electric cars, heat pumps and electric appliances like this, it’s possible that it will become a lot cheaper to run a home. Perhaps even profitable.
@@unamor most of the cost is the 3KW battery pack in the stovetop. 3KW of battery backup runs anywhere from $2k to $5k alone, not to mention the really cool induction stove that is definitely a luxury quality stovetop. I don't think I could justify buying one, I am just saying that the price makes sense for what it is.
@@D3moknight …and I am not contesting the price’s fairness, but this is definitely NOT an economical option as is. Thanks for the breakdown of cost, though. Cheers
sounds like you work for the electric company, cause theyre the only ones who will profit on people being fully dependant on the electric gris. natural gas furnaces are far more efficient than a heat pump. you must have never lived where its cold....
Induction cooktops are by far the best! I’ve had electric coils, electric glass top, and gas plus outdoor/indoor gas burners. No comparison. With induction my electric bill dropped noticeably, I cook in half the time, it automatically controls temp, doesn’t heat up the kitchen, AND IT CLEANS 10x EASIER THAN ANY OF THE OTHER TECHNOLOGIES! Yes, have to get new pans but works with cast iron and carbon steel pots. I have not warped any pans. Induction needs to become the standard so prices drop. Spread the word.
Seems like you will warp your pots in no time. This only useful for plain water which can be boiled unsupervised in an eletric kettle anyway. Anything else you want to get hot quickly will burn to the base of the pot.
I doubt it would warp cookware - the water is going to absorb the heat. Electric kettles aren't as common in the US compared to other parts of the world. Even then, most people are going to have 120v outlets, so no fast electric kettles there. Your last point is such a non-argument lol. Just don't crank the burner up to 11 if you're not boiling water.. Or, you know, turn it down once you've reached the desired temp.
There is only one problem - when he said that other induction cooktops were 3kW, he didn’t tell the whole truth. The QRPT-A10B induction stove is 10kW without needing a battery. Even Jenn Air JIC4536XS for only $2300 is 10kW.
QRPT-A10B is three phase which almost nobody is going to have at their house. The Jenn Air JIC4536XS is maximum of 5000w boost on single burner for 10 minutes - definitely not 10kw.
The reason I like gas stoves: heating control I can't stand coil and induction cycling on and off when trying to find the perfect simmer. Been stuck with electric for the last few years and it annoys me every time. I use a water kettle for faster boiling.
@@TeoSivanich I have both. My apartment came with a resistance coil stove and I have half of it covered with a cutting board and a countertop induction unit on top of that.
Despite the hurricanes and deep freezes, the gas has never off in my Houston home over the last 40 years. Until the cost of operating an electric stove is on par with both the reliability and price of gas and its related appliances, you can keep your electric stove. I'll happily waited a few seconds more to boil my water.
I'm super interested but need it as a full replacement range with oven for my old gas range that only has a 120v 15A outlet behind it. Can't run a higher power line and don't want just a cooktop. Need the full deal and with enough extra battery to power my house for a day during an outage and you got another customer. The next immediate thing you need to make is a highly efficient induction cookware lineup that can handle 10kW of power without warping it or ringing. Something proper solid and ideally ceramic coated.
Induction cooktops already exist in the consumer market, just not superpowered by batteries, which while cool, is more of a gimmick for wildly impatient people then it is useful. Had a induction cooktop in my old house and it was wildly fast and consistent without needing batteries
Some things I want to ask: 1) Do you have an app to change some settings, as well as check if the stove is on or not? 2) Can you change the language and measurements? 3) Are you considering larger options for the stoves? Including 6 plates 4: Can you make it flush with the counter?
Intriguing idea with the batteries and grid storage It also scares the hell out of me when you realize the amount of energy he's talking about sticking under your stove top is equal to a small bomb. I think I'll wait for better battery tech.
There's a reason all of those safety components exist with a powerwall. Imagine there's a power outage, and someone is working on the line, the battery in this might feedback into the grid and kill someone.
The only issue I see with this, a very high power induction hob would expand the magnetic field from millimeter peaks, to centimetre peaks. Meaning, if you’re wearing rings / watches / jewellery etc made from any magnetic metal, they’ll heat up to 200-300c within a matter of seconds of moving your hand over the induction top.
Every American house is wired for 230ish, including most kitchens. Most of our wall outlets & lights are steped down to 115ish which was considered pretty safe over 100 years ago when all these standards were set
Lol I feel so bad for people that make an educated judgments about things they don’t. Every American house has 240. Every. We just don’t use 240 for simple outlets they have zero need for 240. While the appliances that use 240, have outlets for it. lol. So many people have so many negative things to say about America. And yeah, I found that at least half of them are basing them, on their ignorance of the situation. Such as you
Low barrier to integration/use/entry is a key element in any kind of change, be it an improvement, a detriment, or a switch to something different. I think it’s great. My only concern is a battery fire. Or, multiple battery fires.
Instant hot water systems heat a hot water tank to near boiling temp and are insulated to hold it there. They can be stand alone units or in line units, and operate on standard US voltage. I would argue this is a more appropriate use case than the narrow nature of needing to boil the water quickly and suddenly.
Jeez, just stop pretending you care about the stove and just make a proper grid tied storage inverter solution if you want to make a dent. The stove and the whole why gas stoves suck (they do) argument is pretty much pulled out of the ass (stuff gonna burn, asthma, guverment gonna takee yer shit, gas cooking lobby is weird tho). Putting batteries, power electronics and a display near a hot stove - now there is a great idea. Also putting a bidirectional inverter, a powerful induction cooker and batteries together - oh that will surely be affordable. All of this looks cool on the surface, but kinda is a solution looking for a problem. Temp control function is on point tho. Miele can do up to 7kW in boost mode, in practice even 3kW is more than enough, at the power some pans literally start jumping on the hob. Guess 110V single phase just sucks, even split phase 220 is paltry in comparison, EU 3 phase master race just laughs at it.
this guy re-discovered induction stoves ... which are somewhat common in most developed countries all over the planet - except the USA 🤣🤣 my guy : this is nothing new. I have been heating my water within less than a minute for years now - and the previous owner also did it for multiple years, making the total *more than ten years* Granted : induction stoves are "somewhat" new-ish, the technology is only 20-30 years old. You need special pans and pots for that work - you cant use normal ones.
He knows he didn’t invent induction since they have been for sale in every appliance store in the US for 15 years. What he did was add a battery to supplement line power in homes without 50 amp circuits.
This stove to looks AWESOME. But, when I finally acquired a home a goal was to have a five burner stove top. I'm interested in when you might have a five burner top available. Also, I like the controls on the front (they get less dirty from splatter which makes them easier to clean).
Hit the nail on the head. Need to stimulate entrepreneurs like Impulse to innovate. Banning gas stoves politically solves nothing. Offer consumers a better user experience and it will shift naturally. Very interesting technology!
You know why all Veran and Induction stoves are flat glass panes? Because everything else is a hell to clean, and especially in cramped kitchens, space where you can put things is at a premium, with this stove converting the space it sits into an exclusive single use area. On a glass pane stove, you can shuffle the produce around while you prepare it for cooking on that small countertop next to the stove.
If you can get the display of the stove to be on the front instead of the top - it would become infinitely more accessible to people who cook in a seated position.
WELL WELL WELL, WE MEET AGAIN!!
It would also be infinitely more accessable to infants and small children to burn your house down by playing with shiny buttons and screens. There is a reason why most stores have the buttons difficult to reach. Maybe an app to control the stove would be a better solution for people that must cook sitting.

In Germany we use three phase electricity. 3*230V 50Hz. The usual sockets are 230V 16A, which is 3680 W.
The standard stove and oven combination in Germany is designed to operate at 3*230V*16A, resulting in an 11kW power consumption. Specifically, the stove component often draws from two phases, amounting to 7,4kW.
In modern kitchens, there is a trend towards separating the oven, potentially with its own dedicated outlet. Consequently, the stove could then utilize the full 11kW.
For new constructions in Germany, regulations mandate that the cables connected to the stove must be capable of handling 20A. Although a 16A fuse may still be in place, there is flexibility to upgrade it to 20A, providing a power capacity of 9,2kW for two phases or 13,8kW for three phases.
In the USA, we're stuck at 240V unless you live in a commercial zone area. Stoves are 240V @ 50A, but they never pull a full 50 even with all the burners & oven going. Using a battery/capacitor bank solves the issue of the low voltage. Even though it's a short duty cycle, I'm curious how they handle heat when the battery is cranking out 11kw. electric cars, for example, have coolant, pumps, & radiators.
@@Shadi2240v split on a 50a (40a continuous) is 9600w. It’s not that weak.
Hi your calculations are wrong, to calculate wattage in 3-phase power you need to do sqr3*230*16 and not 3*230*16, it then goes from 11kw to 6kw.
@@sylvester4207 He used the wrong equation but got to the right result. Its sqr3*400*16 which equals 11kw.
The 16 A flow between a phase and neutral (230V). If every of the 3 conductors has a load of 16A to neutral, there are 9,23 A between every pair of two phases (3*9,23A*400V = 11kW). I studied physics.
There is a small difference between sqrt(3)*400V*16A and 3*230V*16A
The reason is that the voltage between two phases is not exactly 400V in a 230V system. sqrt(3)*230= 398,4 or 400/sqrt(3)=230.9

Using multiple appliances as a network of battery storage with inverters that can serve the home is a cool idea, however - no mention of how it isolates itself from the grid when there is a power outage, and avoid creating dangerous conditions for line workers attempting to restore grid service. It likely wouldn't pass code for that use case scenario until that consideration is planned for/mitigated.
I don't think I understand the idea. Do you have to have a bi directional meter to subtract the energy you send back into the grid?
Sam here - our inverter will pass the relevant UL standards for this exact thing.
@@sam_damico What kind of batteries do you use and can you tell us about their safety & lifespan? Thank you.
@@sam_damico Could you please provide more details of your technical solution to this problem?
I've wondered about this ability to "Island" a house from the grid in power outage situations.
Obviously generators have been around as backup for generations- so how have they adapted for safety when the power goes out, and why can't batteries function in essentially the same place as a generator with the same safety protocols?

I'm a Resident Chef for a large appliance company and have cooked on almost every induction range on the market. Your cooktop is really innovative and the design is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing these in the wild.
so basically it sounds like a Breville controlfreak cooktop. Currently i use a Thermador Freedom 36" induction cooktop. It can have 6 pots or pans and no fixed burners. The whole cooktop surface can be used , you can put the pans anywhere and move them around. Its incredible.
This was exactly what I was thinking too lol. I am torn between this and the Thermador freedom. I like the flat and full surface cooking for easy cleaning and a variety of pan sizes, but I like the temperature control and physical knob of this stove. How good are the touch controls and temperature control on the Thermador? Maybe a compromise is to get the Thermador Freedom and Breville ControlFreak for precise tasks.
The thermador works great all around. But if you want to see the temp numerically the the control freak is the only real option. But remember it tells the temp of the pan not it’s contents.
@@jstones9872 Thanks for the response! Just to be clear you haven't had issues with the touch controls? I have heard issues with it being laggy and not working with wet hands.
I have no issues at all. TBF I had a thermador induction cooktop prior as well and that had no issues either.
Exactly what I was thinking. For the price of the Impulse, I'm not sure why someone would buy this over a Thermador Freedom. If you want backup, just connect an inline UPS with battery.
It's $5500... Saved you a click.
Plus the additional wiring for your home to (safely) handle power from a battery placed in the kitchen
That's... too much.
@@aresorum You clearly don't know how much kitchen appliances cost that aren't meant for brokies.

Just make it touchscreen like my Electrolux induction range. I would never go back to knobs no matter how easy to clean they are.
From room temperature to instant boil is game-changing, not merely for convenience but environmentally. Way way way more power efficient to get a pot or pan to the desired temperature as fast as possible. Storing a ~20min buffer of energy in a battery is genius. These are the kinds of inventions you know will take off because the solution seems so obvious in hindsight. I genuinely have nothing to do with this company, so this is an honest comment on the product. I'm definitely keeping an eye on what you guys make next. Love these gems of real value-add with zero downsides.
I'm glad that I live in Europe, where we usually have a three-phase 400V connection at home and induction cookers can have 10-11kw without the need for batteries... :)
US 50 amp circuit is common enough and that is 10kW. I charge my car at home with a 90 amp circuit.
@@rsilvers129 Wow, 90A takes a decent cross section of wire. I estimate it to be around 25mm^2 Welding cable category :)) Interesting information, thanks
@@janliberda9493 Imagine paying a "skilled worker" to install thirty to seventy metres of the "welding cable"
I've never seen anyone actually use either 3 phase or the 400V for the outlets though. We usually use 20A 230V outlet.
@@sylvester4207 It's usually a 7-10 amp single phase outlet.
I like that you waited until the very end of the video to present yourself and you focused the video on the subject matter, letting the people speak their minds.
This was both informative, well shot, and eloquently presented. Good shit. Once I redo my kitchen I'm getting one
Saw this monstrous oven at a trade show (I watched online) that was made for the European market that had a double 3-phase connection. One 16 amp connector for the oven and one 16 amp connection for the six burner stove. The oven was enormous, much wider and taller than standard, could reach 375 degrees Celsius (700F) and had a bunch of accessories for stuff like grilling and pizza making. Like, it had a rotisserie thing and a pair of stone inserts to mimic a wood fired oven and a bunch of stuff for bread making.
The stove and the oven didn't have to be mounted as a single unit and I think most people would probably mount to oven part at table top height in a cabinett or something because if you actually stuffed a piece of meat large enough to fill the oven in it you would blow out your back if you had to crouch to get it in. Oh, and the stove part could bring a full 20 litre pot to boil in like under five minutes with just one of the burners.
It could be paired with a fan system that basically looked like an evacuation fan when they showed what it could do, it could probably provide a complete air change of your house in a couple of minutes if you cranked it to max. And all this was meant for home enthusiasts, not for a professional kitchen. I remember I thought it cost as much as that two bedroom apartment I saw advertised earlier the same day, but I guess if you are wealthy enough, you don't mind paying that much for kitchen appliances. If the same company ever decided it would make a freezer, it would probably freeze things to absolute zero in a quarter hour and be run by its own separate connection to the grid. 😁
I look forward to the implementation of these in RVs and other off-grid builds and vehicles!
Damn, I loved how thise quickly went from stoves to supply changes in the real world and then revolutionasing the house
So, one of those things he talks about with the power wall that he says there’s an issue, is very important for safety. Without that box that goes between the battery and the grid, you are potentially energizing powerlines that workers believe are not energized.
All grid workers have a standard safety protocol which includes testing, followed by bonding to ground. They walk on to every job site, thinking that it is electrified and have to prove to themselves that it is not.
@@Mark_The_Mayven Local US electrical codes require this separation and a shutoff to grid feed when the power goes down just for this very reason. So unless you are 100% off grid, this safety measure isn't going away.
this one is counterintuitive -- there are grid-tie only solar systems that _do not_ have this, because if the inverter shuts off on loss of grid that also is OK. If you want to be able to back up your entire house you 100% have to have this.
I have a combined induction and gas cooktop which I love. I use induction 80% of the time but still prefer gas for some things like cooking a steak. Plus, we have some copper pans that don't work on induction :)
This video, the knowledge, the product - all very impressive
Here in Germany this is standardized
I didn't expect this much quality information, like many stated, I thought it was about a really cool stove.
he's spot on about stoves being the one mental block for people switching off of natural gas
gas companies know this too, thats why they actually throw a lot of money at influences to get them to cook using gas, subtle advertisement kinda stuff, because a stove is the only thing that really matters to people for gas(despite not making the most money for gas companies), the rest of it the gas company just gets you with add ons once you have the infrastructure set up
Gas cooks the best bro. Maybe that’s why cooks use it? 😂

@@williamh.gatesiii8183 In the end it's just heated metal, so there's no difference anyway
@@gamesnic there is difference because of the way you cook. glass tops are just fragile.
Ooooo, ive been talking about importance of individual home power banks 20 years, live in SF, need one of these!!!!
Good work guys!
Distributed storage in high draw appliances is a great concept. Mini bidirectional inverters, and batteries add expense, but you are also buying a home battery.
Induction is much better than gas for many reasons, that have been covered before.
In 240v land, induction cooktop have a power boost mode of 3.2kW, which is only a third of this beast.
Thise are blood beautiful knobs!
All electrical stoves in the US are already 240v appliances
Wow, the idea underlying idea of increasing grid support with the help of home appliances is actually very smart.
nothing beats the pristine, flat glass surface of an induction stovetop. a pleasure to look at and clean.
I had this exact idea, it's super refreshing and interesting to listen to the actual complexity of going from idea to build. I love it! Small brilliant detail, I love the knobs instead of the useless capacitive touch buttons that most companies use. Can't wait until you make it over to Europe!
Great energy on this dude! Great future ahead

this is incredible! congrats the battery opportunity across the home is so clever.
Great idea. Hope they succeed.
Great video. Didn't think I would be watching the whole thing going in, but here we are. That looks like a fun place to work. It's so hard for startups with good ideas like this to really pierce into a market. Always seems like these types of places end up selling the technologies they invent versus selling a successful product. But sometimes they make it big. I hope things change and places like this are given better opportunities to progress.
A network of batteries in the house!? What a cool idea. I’m ready for it now. I have battery storage but can’t fit much more the 15kwh in my garage. Having spots throughout the house with additional 3-5kwh nodes would be something. Sign me up!
Until the batteries burst into flame.
Scott, I agree with that depending on battery chemistry. I wouldn’t use Li-Ion or LiPo. But LiFePO are considerably safer and don’t explode like Li-Ion. This particular technology is a ways off and battery chemistry and design will continue to improve to provide safer options.
@@johnprouty6583I did a cursory search of LiFePO, and unfortunately the tradeoff for using LiFePO is capacity. Even at a theoretical maximum, doesn't come close to the highest capacity Li-ion. That doesn't mean it's not better for this application, if the materials are cheaper, and size not an issue, then getting a larger battery for the same capacity would be better as it is a safer technology. It also runs at a lower nominal voltage, so that could also lead to other issues with power delivery. I'm not a power engineer though, so I don't know much about the subject matter.
@johnprouty6583 I am curious about the topic you bring up. I think it can be reasonably agreed upon that Li ion or LiPo would make absolutely no sense in this kind of implementation. LiFePo is an interesting case that is assumedly safer than those options. But is it really? The variable that concerns me is temperature regulation in end-use implementation in this context. LiFePo is pretty amazing, but still essentially is a band aid solution to the fundamental problem that batteries are unsafe and essentially disposable.
@@mynameissang I think “safer” is kind of the operative term here. If they are breached mechanically they don’t explode (may be a bit of an exaggeration) like Li-ion. But if you draw over their rated discharge rate you’ll certainly have problems. While the report touted the 45 second boil I don’t see that as a particularly practical as it doesn’t save energy, same energy is required to heat a certain quantity of water to a certain temperature (less time related losses) the infrastructure required to handle the current required would bump up the costs a fair bit - larger conductors, beefer electronics, etc. As far as inherent safety, anytime you are moving energy or storing energy - gas, batteries, mains power, etc. - there will always be some safety issue you’ll need to consider. Regardless, I still like the idea of networked islands of energy storage.
It's cool to see someone innovate on this.
Putting the power where it is needed makes sense, but will be a nightmare to repair / maintain if the inverters and cells are not standardised. But that IP is your key asset if you don't do your own manufacturing ...
Miele had integrated thermal sensing for a long time. 7.5-11kW are typical for modern european stovetops ...

Very neat but for the next version I'd ditch the display. Not every device in our homes needs a screen to convey information, a knob works just fine.
True, but I feel that the display contributes to the image of a very premium product.
The oven is very likely the first version as a proof of concept to present to the average consumer that this is in fact a high end product, thus creating a desire to own this product.
Very more likely down the line, this company or companies similar/adopting this kind of mentality, product line or technology, will eventually make more low end products for the average consumer.
Which... won't have the display, but it's a good preview of what the future could hold. 👍
Which I think is very cool.
@@TristanKazumiK While my experience with the ultra-premium is limited (I have some though), the display is what someone without experience with Really premium products, thinks a premium product should have. It's just a false perception... Really premium items do their job/function as near perfect as is possible First, and Look elegant second. The looks part, while subjective, tends towards simple being More elegant and premium than complex.
A digital display will look dated at some point. It *will* be the Harvest Gold of an era, gaudy because it was so over-used. It's a failing of the most simple of concepts, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
While this product looks appealing to me, and the function really grabs my attention (minus back-feeding the grid), the display is a turn-off. Just guessing at the price premium these products will demand, there's simply no way I'd pay to have something that was visually over-done ~ you have to interact with this thing, looking at it, EVERY time you use it. Don't make it garish to the eye.
no the display is uesfull to show information at a glance
I agree. Nothing wrong with offering both versions though. I will take high quality buttons and knobs over a graphical display for most devices. Look at the huge mechanical keyboard market for proof. Some people have never turned a high quality volume knob or pushed an all metal button for a horn. The best stuff is pretty rare cause most people cheap out on the quality of buttons and knobs. There's a dimmer knob a boat product place sells that feels so smooth, better than any dimmer knob I've interacted with before, but it's like $30-40 when others cost less than $10 so not many people get to experience high quality knobs.
Yeah you wanna save a couple bucks leaving the screen out of the $10,000 stove.
I'm really excited about this product. Thank you for sharing this video.
Having been in global electronics manufacturing and design for over 20 years, and nuclear power design and gone to cooking school… this is a great idea. Instantly I knew what the battery was for in the product and temp control is long overdue. I am placing an order and would love to be an early tester.
I can't wait for these guys to release a dishwasher. Seriously. It is going to be magical.
He mentions that gas stoves are useless during a power outage.
I'd counter and say that having a gas stove was the only reason my house was capable of having heat for 2 days this past winter when large amounts of Chicago had no power. Being able to boil water in a large pot allowed us to have at least "some" heat during that time. And its from 2020.
This would be a great concept for new constructions and recent houses by simply adding a smart device to the main panel to isolate the house from the grid during an outage.
Example of process to allow backup power from a variety of appliances.
1: Power goes out
2: Smart device detects loss of power from grid and disconnects house from grid.
3: Smart device alerts appliances that power is needed and apliances supply power from batteries upon verification from resident via physical button or mobile app.
4:Grid power eventually restores and smart device will upon verification from resident (to prevent random interuption) alerts appliances to switch back to nomal use and Upon house fully de-energizing reconnects to grid.
That was my old office! Wild
He has the head of a strongman, the body of a boyscout and the mind of a genius.
First you have tri-phase for extra power, efficient. That battery he held looks something like a LiFePo or Lithium Titane that'll be half-dead in couple of years and holds enough energy for a toast or two (it means probably has less than 1S 20 Ah so about 100 Wh meaning that the 10kW usage will last about 30 sec). I mean it's a cool short term boost to quickly heat stuff (somewhat at the expanse of your pan at this power), but it's not going to do much for your grid.
It looks like a Headway 40152S cell. It is an high power and high cycle count battery. It is possible to use multiple in series for more power and a greater voltage conversion efficiency. A total of less than 25 cells (less than a car battery in weight) are required to output the full 10kW for more than 4 minutes.
@@jeremievenne5138 I doubt there is space for that under the cooker to fit in most kitchen. That's why I guess it can only do short bursts (even 2 min is short for cooking but useful in some scenarios).
their website states they use a LFP battery (lithium iron phosphate)
Great idea. However, I prefer flat induction plates.
A) they only cost a 10th of what you are asking for (I know, it's an unfair comparison but still a valid point)
B) flat surfaces are the most easy to clean. One more reason to never go for gas stoves.

Shit I never want to hear as part of my life: "I just booted up the stove"
Induction cooktops are by far the best! I’ve had electric coils, electric glass top, and gas plus outdoor/indoor gas burners. No comparison. With induction my electric bill dropped noticeably, I cook in half the time, it automatically controls temp, doesn’t heat up the kitchen, AND IT CLEANS 10x EASIER THAN ANY OF THE OTHER TECHNOLOGIES! Yes, have to get new pans but works with cast iron and carbon steel pots. I have not warped any pans. Induction needs to become the standard so prices drop. Spread the word.
Seems like you will warp your pots in no time. This only useful for plain water which can be boiled unsupervised in an eletric kettle anyway. Anything else you want to get hot quickly will burn to the base of the pot.
Temperature control counterintuitively prevents pan warping
I doubt it would warp cookware - the water is going to absorb the heat.
Electric kettles aren't as common in the US compared to other parts of the world. Even then, most people are going to have 120v outlets, so no fast electric kettles there.
Your last point is such a non-argument lol. Just don't crank the burner up to 11 if you're not boiling water.. Or, you know, turn it down once you've reached the desired temp.
@@canowyrms Next product: kettle with a battery
@@oznerol256 I mean, Dewalt already has a battery powered coffee maker. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a kettle that ran off power tool batteries.

There is only one problem - when he said that other induction cooktops were 3kW, he didn’t tell the whole truth. The QRPT-A10B induction stove is 10kW without needing a battery. Even Jenn Air JIC4536XS for only $2300 is 10kW.
QRPT-A10B is three phase which almost nobody is going to have at their house. The Jenn Air JIC4536XS is maximum of 5000w boost on single burner for 10 minutes - definitely not 10kw.
The other problem in a retrofit situation is the cost of getting power at the location.
it's 10 kW peak performance per burner, most other burners peak at 3 kW with 10 kW max across the entire stove

The reason I like gas stoves: heating control
I can't stand coil and induction cycling on and off when trying to find the perfect simmer. Been stuck with electric for the last few years and it annoys me every time. I use a water kettle for faster boiling.
Do you have induction or resistance coil?
@@TeoSivanich I have both. My apartment came with a resistance coil stove and I have half of it covered with a cutting board and a countertop induction unit on top of that.
Despite the hurricanes and deep freezes, the gas has never off in my Houston home over the last 40 years. Until the cost of operating an electric stove is on par with both the reliability and price of gas and its related appliances, you can keep your electric stove. I'll happily waited a few seconds more to boil my water.
As someone mentioned: solar panels. It’s pretty much the only way to be truly off-grid
@@angryakita3870 I would love solar panels but I do not have that option in my situation today.
These stoves specifically can hold a charge and work off grid power for some time, if I understand the video correctly.
Listen closer he said "NEW gas stove". If your gas flows during a power outage its because it is an older model lacking the anti-leak safety feature
I'm super interested but need it as a full replacement range with oven for my old gas range that only has a 120v 15A outlet behind it. Can't run a higher power line and don't want just a cooktop. Need the full deal and with enough extra battery to power my house for a day during an outage and you got another customer. The next immediate thing you need to make is a highly efficient induction cookware lineup that can handle 10kW of power without warping it or ringing. Something proper solid and ideally ceramic coated.
Induction cooktops already exist in the consumer market, just not superpowered by batteries, which while cool, is more of a gimmick for wildly impatient people then it is useful. Had a induction cooktop in my old house and it was wildly fast and consistent without needing batteries
So fascinating. I'd love a stove that boils water in 40 seconds 😮
The first ever stove to break in 3-7 years when the built in Lifeph4 battery capacity degrades.
100% going to invest in this, and buy this for my next house! WOW
Some things I want to ask:
1) Do you have an app to change some settings, as well as check if the stove is on or not?
2) Can you change the language and measurements?
3) Are you considering larger options for the stoves? Including 6 plates
4: Can you make it flush with the counter?
So basically they had to jerryrig stuff to make a pretty standard powered induction cooktop 😂 Oh you low voltage sufferers.
Intriguing idea with the batteries and grid storage
It also scares the hell out of me when you realize the amount of energy he's talking about sticking under your stove top is equal to a small bomb.
I think I'll wait for better battery tech.
There's a reason all of those safety components exist with a powerwall. Imagine there's a power outage, and someone is working on the line, the battery in this might feedback into the grid and kill someone.
This seems awesome!!! I’m curious about their findings on how this affects pots and pans, etc :)
Learned NOTHING about the stove... 😢
What exactly did you want to know?
The only issue I see with this, a very high power induction hob would expand the magnetic field from millimeter peaks, to centimetre peaks. Meaning, if you’re wearing rings / watches / jewellery etc made from any magnetic metal, they’ll heat up to 200-300c within a matter of seconds of moving your hand over the induction top.
I feel so so bad about people living with 110v instead of 230v
Every American house is wired for 230ish, including most kitchens. Most of our wall outlets & lights are steped down to 115ish which was considered pretty safe over 100 years ago when all these standards were set
Lol I feel so bad for people that make an educated judgments about things they don’t. Every American house has 240. Every. We just don’t use 240 for simple outlets they have zero need for 240. While the appliances that use 240, have outlets for it. lol. So many people have so many negative things to say about America. And yeah, I found that at least half of them are basing them, on their ignorance of the situation. Such as you
You seem a bit sensitive.
Low barrier to integration/use/entry is a key element in any kind of change, be it an improvement, a detriment, or a switch to something different. I think it’s great. My only concern is a battery fire. Or, multiple battery fires.
Luckily the EU has 230v 🤭
Cool product tho
everywhere does you just put two breakers together
100% of US homes are 240v.
What do people not like about electric stoves? I love them. They are so much easier to clean as opposed to gas stoves.
Instant hot water systems heat a hot water tank to near boiling temp and are insulated to hold it there. They can be stand alone units or in line units, and operate on standard US voltage. I would argue this is a more appropriate use case than the narrow nature of needing to boil the water quickly and suddenly.
Jeez, just stop pretending you care about the stove and just make a proper grid tied storage inverter solution if you want to make a dent.
The stove and the whole why gas stoves suck (they do) argument is pretty much pulled out of the ass (stuff gonna burn, asthma, guverment gonna takee yer shit, gas cooking lobby is weird tho).
Putting batteries, power electronics and a display near a hot stove - now there is a great idea.
Also putting a bidirectional inverter, a powerful induction cooker and batteries together - oh that will surely be affordable.
All of this looks cool on the surface, but kinda is a solution looking for a problem.
Temp control function is on point tho.
Miele can do up to 7kW in boost mode, in practice even 3kW is more than enough, at the power some pans literally start jumping on the hob.
Guess 110V single phase just sucks, even split phase 220 is paltry in comparison, EU 3 phase master race just laughs at it.
cool! especially the grid support.
this guy re-discovered induction stoves ... which are somewhat common in most developed countries all over the planet - except the USA 🤣🤣
my guy : this is nothing new. I have been heating my water within less than a minute for years now - and the previous owner also did it for multiple years, making the total *more than ten years*
Granted : induction stoves are "somewhat" new-ish, the technology is only 20-30 years old.
You need special pans and pots for that work - you cant use normal ones.
He knows he didn’t invent induction since they have been for sale in every appliance store in the US for 15 years. What he did was add a battery to supplement line power in homes without 50 amp circuits.
@@rsilvers129And they’ve been available as niche products for about 50 years!
I like the glowing circles. Not a fan of induction where it’s sometimes not super obvious which one is on
Lol can't get enough grunt out of 240v 32A? Or you cucked by American 110v?
Are there 3-phase burners? AFAIK burners are always 1-phase, which limits them to 3kW. This video shows 10kW on a single burner.
@@oznerol256 Yes. I can buy a 8kw one here in europe. They are usually two phase, but i am pretty sure there are 3 phase variants
@@oznerol256if you want 3 phase in Germany, it's with minimum 3 x 20 - 25 A breaker
@@oznerol256Any kind of electric burner can be designed to run on single or three-phase power. It’s routinely done in industrial settings.
Great video, another awesome idea! The base principal of intermediate use of a battery to boost a appliance is awesome!
This stove to looks AWESOME. But, when I finally acquired a home a goal was to have a five burner stove top. I'm interested in when you might have a five burner top available.
Also, I like the controls on the front (they get less dirty from splatter which makes them easier to clean).
*This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!*
there is a demand for dc induction stoves for RV's and off grid houses and this already did the work
the ability to heat your stove to an exact temperature and that crisp screen alone are killer features
Sick. Truly. Guys hats off. Damn such an intiative in a boring product group. Marked your stove and will think how to get it in eu in a year or so
Hit the nail on the head. Need to stimulate entrepreneurs like Impulse to innovate. Banning gas stoves politically solves nothing. Offer consumers a better user experience and it will shift naturally. Very interesting technology!
And when you’re not using it for cooking, you can use it as a DJ turntable. Unce Unce Unce. Bass from the fridge!
You know why all Veran and Induction stoves are flat glass panes?
Because everything else is a hell to clean, and especially in cramped kitchens, space where you can put things is at a premium, with this stove converting the space it sits into an exclusive single use area. On a glass pane stove, you can shuffle the produce around while you prepare it for cooking on that small countertop next to the stove.
Impulse seems like a good company to work for!
