sf | 1971 | Rolf Ulrici | Raumschiff Monitor: Geheimer Start | (I'll have to check whether the book is still in my parent's basement) | Professor Charivari puts a kettle with cold water on his wooden desk and pours boiling water into the tea pot a few minutes later. Superhirn speculates that he might have used microwaves to heat the water, but induction seems much more likely. |

Der Tisch "Kopa" ist unter der Holzoberfläche durchgehend mit Induktionsspulen bestückt. Die Kochzonen können frei gewählt werden. |
While this is a design study, it is possible to build it with current technology. A stove with a wooden surface is almost exactly like Ulrici described it in 1971. |
