Precision Induction Kettles

The Miito Induction Kettle Only Heats Liquid You Need

— November 27, 2014 — Art & Design
The Miito is a kettle that combats the common problem of over-filling kettles, something most of us do from time to time that results in wasting of energy. This smartly designed kettle uses induction heating to boil just the water you need, rather than boiling a whole bunch of water only for a good chunk of it to not be used.

The Miito consists of a base unit containing an electromagnet and a metal rod with a plastic-coated tip. To boil water, the rod is placed into the vessel which is then placed on the base, with electromagnetic induction used to heat the metal rod and the water.

Thanks to this process, only the water in the vessel is heated by the section of the base unit closest to the rod's base. There is no heating of excess water.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Small Appliances - Companies can explore developing similar induction technology for other small appliances with the aim of reducing energy wastage and promoting sustainability.
2. Smart Kitchen Gadgets - There is an opportunity for designers and manufacturers to create more smart kitchen gadgets that use technology to improve efficiency and convenience while promoting sustainable practices such as reducing energy usage.
3. Wireless Charging Kitchen Appliances - This technology can be leveraged to create wireless charging kitchen appliances, eliminating the need for traditional cords and making it simpler to perform tasks in the kitchen and saving counter space.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchen Appliance Manufacturing - This trend presents an opportunity for manufacturers to create more kitchen appliances that are sustainable in their design and function.
2. Smart Home Technology - This trend fits into the larger trend of smart home technology, which presents opportunities for manufacturers and developers to create sustainable gadgets and appliances that are convenient and efficient.
3. Wireless Charging Industry - This technology could lead to the growth of the wireless charging industry, which presents opportunities for manufacturers and developers to create wireless charging solutions for other types of appliances and devices.
