Sam Dinkin's Impulse induction cooktop delivers 10,000 watts, boiling a liter of water in seconds. It switches instantly from 10,000 W down to 300 W with precise temperature control. Each appliance contains a lithium-ion battery, turning your kitchen into a backup power system for the grid.
But there's a guy in San Francisco, of course, who wants to take all of this away from you. He wants you to cook like a dork with technology.
We make an induction cooktop. It's called the Impulse cooktop, and it's about 3 times more powerful than any other stove on the market. So this is a liter of cold water I just put in there, and I'm gonna put 10,000 watts into the pan. Oh, boy. Basically, as soon as you turn this thing on, the bubbles start appearing, and it's boiling before you actually can do the next step in your cooking journey. On a gas stove, like my gas stove at home is about 6 or 7 minutes. Yeah. And then we also have just like crazy levels of dynamic range and control. So like I can go 10,000 watts, 300 watts, 10,000 watts. And then if you yank the knob, it turns off.
Okay. The stove is not just powerful and fast, it's also packed full of technology that makes it super accurate. You can control it degree by degree like you would with an oven.
This stove is different than most other stoves. Instead of low, medium, and high, you can say exact temperature in degrees and it sets the temperature right here.
But you should also know that this is not really just a stove. It's the start of a devious master plan. Because each stove contains a lithium-ion phosphate battery, and Sam's real goal is to fill your home with appliances and more batteries and to create a a spread-out backup system to the power grid. There's this whole Trojan horse aspect to all this. I mean, so you start by building a burner, but your major goal is to fill homes with all sorts of appliances with lithium-ion batteries. It seems like a kind of crazy plan. Anything with a power cord, we want to be able to power by Impulse.
