I worked on this rule for six years almost full-time, and it has finally become part of US code. (It's been law in other places for several years now.)

You see these ugly gloriously beautiful sketches? I made this in about three minutes in Powerpoint for one of my working papers in ICAO CAEP Working Group 3, and somehow they ended up in the final draft, never getting replaced by something nicer.

Then the engineers would no need to measure them with a rule before building in metal.

Could someone chase down some scientific papers on how induction hobs work? Specifically, how the power circuitry works? I want to see if it's possible to change over from using the cheap, microwave-style on-off temperature control to something more gradiated.
