designer's own words:
Technical and usage:
“THIRD ELEMENT’ is a gas stove which consists of 3 legs and a thoroughly monotonous burning plate.
You can put your pot anywhere on burning plate you like and you don’t have to follow a predefined layout.
When you put the pot on the burning plate, the region is detected by the stove and makes it warm up to the temperature you define.
Although the “THIRD ELEMENT” uses gas for producing heat, it doesn’t have flame in it. and the combustion occurs in some special cells located under the burning plate. The lack of flame, makes the stove enjoy a high level of safety.
You can control it by a completely electronical system. through the control panel, remote control, cell phone, home PC and other information transfer systems, like blue tooth.
The burning plate is filled by units which we call them” burning cell”s. when a pot is put on the burning plate, burning cells of that region are being activated and a message appears for user asking the temperature he/she wants to apply. according to defined temperature, a specific amount of gas and air enters the cell through the microswitches placed before each cell. An electrical spark burns the mixture in the cell and causes the heat.
Form:
“THIRD ELEMENT” has inspired from the early stoves made of 3 pieces of wood by Indians.
Although the legs of stove are strong enough to sustain the wheight of stove and the pots, but their diameter have been increased and shrunken to infuse confidence to the user. And also bring in mind the prehistoric animals and infuse a sense of bionic and convergence to nature.
