I like to describe it as wireless charging for your cookware. Except it doesn’t have a battery and just functions like a single giant wire, so the wire just gets hot. Which is good because that’s what we wanted.

Moving magnets cause electricity to flow and flowing electricity can cause a magnet to appear. Cycle the electromagnet and you can make electricity flow in metals. Phones use this to charge, but this does it a bit differently.
