An oven for continuous cooking of products carried upon a open mesh wire conveyor provides the impingement of a cooking vapor from air discharge structure having ports arrayed above and below the conveyor. The discharge ports extend laterally of the conveyor and communicate with upper and lower plenums each charged by blower fans which draw cooking vapor from low pressure corridors alongside the product conveyor. Gas, electric or thermo fluid heaters are disposed in the corridors. The discharge ports are in slot form disposed about the apex of a Vee shaped riser spaced from the adjacent riser to provide a low pressure flow channel communicating with the corridors giving a rapid velocity change of the cooking vapor from turbulent to a less turbulent flow. The distance for vapor travel between the upper discharge ports and the product carrying conveyor is variable. Temperature and moisture content of the process vapor can be changed to suit cooking conditions.

A remote control electric powered skateboard has a brushless motor or a brushless hub motor installed on the lower surface of the skateboard for connecting to a battery device through a controller, so that the motors could be electrified. A driving device disposed between either afore motors and at least one wheel is controlled by the remote control, thereby permitting an automatic comparison. When the electrification of the remote control executes, the remote control spontaneously generates an initial code for a receiver in the controller to robotically distinguish and lock the code. Turning off the remote control provides an automatic decoding. A receiver receives control signals from the remote control for the controller to interpret, and accordingly the controller generates and sends distinct commands to either motor, which allows the skateboard to implement various actions correspondingly. An auxiliary remote device disposed on the joint between a front support and a plywood is foldable or could stand on the skateboard; the height of the auxiliary remote device is adjustable for meeting divergent demands from dissimilar riders. A remote handle further provides the same operating means as that of the remote control for offering a supplementary supporting function.
