Briefings

Sam D'Amico of Impulse Labs is launching a battery-powered induction cooktop to demonstrate the US's potential in the electric stack, despite China's dominance. The device pushes 10 kW per burner on a 120V outlet, licensing the core platform to major brands. D'Amico argues that while China controls most of the stack, American innovation in hardware and AI could reclaim a share, though the article notes the US remains in a weak position.

Key points

• Impulse Labs is licensing its battery-powered induction cooktop platform to major appliance brands for domestic manufacturing.
• The cooktop delivers 10 kilowatts of power per burner while plugging into a standard 120V outlet.

Context

Sam D'Amico, co-author of 'The Electric Slide' and founder of Impulse Labs, is betting the US can claim a piece of the electric stack. He started with a battery-powered induction cooktop to test domestic manufacturing capabilities.
