Steorn's HephaHeat Low Frequency Induction Heating

[zenmaster]

Looks like an 80% reduction in unit volume, not energy consumption.

Sterling just interviewed him and reported "One of the products will be a culinary electric hot water heater that will cost about the same as the heater it is replacing, but it will be about one third the size and consume one fifth the electricity." And again, "One HephaHeat product will cost about as much as the electric water heater it's replacing, but will consume 1/5 as much electricity"

We need the tech to be in the market for it to become credible. You can argue with it all you want in forums on the internet, but when you turn your tap on, and you're spending one fifth of the energy, then argue with your tap.

An 80% reduction in the amount of electricity needed to produce heat would essentially mean free energy for everyone

I would agree because a conventional heating element is already close to being 100% efficient.
