Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies evaporative cooling by transitioning water from liquid to vapor phase. Water is sprayed onto the moving coil induction ring, where it evaporates and absorbs latent heat from the ring surface, providing efficient cooling without requiring complex fan systems. This phase change mechanism directly addresses the cooling efficiency problem while maintaining structural simplicity.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful heat generated by high current operation into a manageable condition through evaporative cooling. The water spray system absorbs the generated heat through evaporation, allowing the system to operate at high power levels without excessive temperature rise. This transforms the harmful thermal effect into a controlled cooling process.
