Just powerful coil and integrated battery charged by conventional 110v outlet. The description of this cooking stove should be placed at "Over engineering" Wikipedia page.

Ignoring both the fire safety issues and how long it'd be 'till that kinda power destroyed your cookware...I don't think you'd want one of these installed in a kitchen that either kids or frailer seniors might frequent.
