Demonstrator: Well we've got an induction cookware top here. This side is the inductor and this is a traditional electric radiant heating on that side. The induction side works on a magnetic field. You have to cook with a pan that you can stick a magnet to. Now this water's boiling and it's heating the pot alone. I can put my fingers right on the circle that the pan is sitting on here and my fingers aren't burnt. This is on, see, on 9, and I have my hand resting on here. It's not burning my hand.

Demonstrator: The horizontal axis washing machine is the most efficient washing action in the industry and by it's very nature you can use less water, less detergent and less electricity. In fact, with this kind of washing action, you the end user can expect to save between $200 and $250 per year and get your money back on this machine in about three and a half years. Not only will you save money from a consumable standpoint, but it'll save wear and tear on your fabric by its gentle washing action, tumbling the clothes through the water and detergent more efficiently than a vertical axis washing machine.

Demonstrator: Okay, here's our prototype microwave clothes dryer. It's an experimental product by the Electric Power Research Institute. It's a regular dryer in every aspect, but it uses microwaves. The dryer, you just turn it on; it dries the clothes in about 15 percent less time, 15 percent less energy than a typical electric or gas dryer. Also, it treats the clothes very gently. Instead of drying them with 300 degree temperature, you're drying them with 100 degree temperature. So the clothes last longer. You can also dry wool in this dryer, unlike any other dryer. We look to have the dryer out within three years at a retail store near you.
