Each jack contains a core system that’s powered by wireless electricity aka WITRICITY (also known as evanescent wave coupling). The electricity powers up an inductive system that transfers heat from metal elements to the body of the jacks. The electricity powering the jacks could be provided by solar panels, urban electric grid, wind power etc. In short, this is an perfect candidate for clean energy usage.

Pendent style grill with possible shape variations labeled a through f. Powered by wireless inductive smart jacks. A possible material is high-temperature vitro-ceramic for enhancing cooking and looking cool. Also can double as a light source, especially while cooking at night, and can be fitted with a grill, teppanyaki, or steaming bowl. You can see from the first image, that when opened, a projected touch sensitive interface opens the grill and controls the smart jacks.

These are the smart jacks - they’re a conductive composite that provide heat by wireless induction. Shape variations for the jacks are shown in diagrams 1 through 5.

This is a concept for a free standing heat-screen/radiator. The smart jacks can be inserted at will in the frame by the user. This product can provide space heating, and the top half folds down to provide a horizontal hot surface over which a grill and teppanyaki can be placed. The screen only reaches cooking temperatures in the horizontal position. The jacks provide feedback by changing color as the temperature increases. The touch control rotates 90 degrees to face the user when the heating surface is folded down.
