Abstract
An apparatus for a sauna includes a first and second heating element. The first heating element has a first conductive path and is coupled to pass a current. The second heating element has a second conductive path that runs adjacent to the first conductive path. The second heating element substantially blocks an electric field produced within the first heating element. The first conductive path is coupled to redirect the current to the second conductive path and set up complementary magnetic fields between the first and second heating elements.
Claims49
A sauna comprising:
- a plurality of walls that define an internal space;
- and
- a heating system comprising:
- a first conductor having a first conductive path;
- a second conductor having a second conductive path;
- and
- a third conductor situated around said first and second conductors,
- wherein at least one of said first conductive path and said second conductive path includes a resistive heating element that produces heat from a current,
- wherein said first conductive path is coupled to redirect said current to said second conductive path and set up complementary magnetic fields between said first conductor and said second conductor, and
- wherein said third conductor is coupled to a voltage to substantially block an electric field produced from the resistive heating element included in the at least one of said first conductor and said second conductor and radiates infrared heat directly to the internal space without passing through any intervening materials.
