Claims10
A cooktop system comprising:
- a plurality of induction coils, each induction coil comprising:
- an induction coil that extends from a first end to a second end, the induction coil includes a plurality of turns that define a shape, the shape comprising:
- an outer profile that includes a rounded portion and a rectangular portion, the rounded portion extends around a portion of the outer profile and the rectangular portion extends around another portion of the outer profile;
- and
- the plurality of induction coils includes a first group of induction coils positioned along an operator side of the cooktop system and a second group of induction coils positioned along a rear side of the cooktop system opposite the operator side, where the rounded portion of the first group faces a first outer side of the cooktop system along the operator side and the rounded portion of the second group faces a second outer side of the cooktop system along the rear side of the cooktop system each induction coils of the first group of induction coils is configured to generate a magnetic field that rotates in a first direction and each induction coil of the second group of induction coils is configured to generate a magnetic field that rotates in a second direction that is opposite the first direction;
- wherein one or more emitted magnetic fields along the operator side, rear side, and along each respective lateral sides of the cooktop system are attenuated by the first direction and second direction of each of the magnetic fields of the plurality of induction coils being in different directions.
