The Heat Coil Knows Best
The Spiral Burner is quite a nifty design that reminds me of mosquito coils that we get here in India! The plot behind this design to have a burner that saves fuel when using small utensils, conversely increase fuel efficiency when using big pots. The knobs are simple and the burner boasts clean lines, I think I’m already in love with it! Oh my!

But how do adjust the actual heat?
Zune says
A good idea, but I think fluid dynamics might get in the way. Can the designer show the mechanism that controls the gas output?
Me says
Hmm nice design, at least it look nice
Fluid dynamics ? Where u see fluid? gas? Dont see problem there.
What i woder is, how to clean this thing ?
Have enough problems with regular circle…
Make it for production and will be millions in your pocket
Kevin says
This is really cool. Would make for a great project if I was still a mechanical engineering student
Seamus Dubh says
Fluid dynamics is the branch of physics that applies to both liquids and gasses. It also applies to Plasma (the ionized gas not the blood component).
Teto says
it’s a great idea, but, how can it work? can u show something more??
Quintin says
Interesting. Wouldn’t it be easier to make something like this out of a few concentric circles? Then you could manage the gas flow to each circle, instead of having to open/close every hole in the spiral…
Maryline says
I like it. But isn’t it the reason why there are currently burners of different sizes on a stove?
I guess it will give you more flexibility (I hate using the back burners).
It will be interesting to see the mechanics
Aborg says
Well, the problem is that gas behaves as a fluid when it comes to how physics views it. So, fluid mechanics would mean that if it’s improperly designed, the gas wouldn’t be able to reach the farthest part of the spiral (or at least that’s what I gather from my basic understanding of physics)
Ghaffari says
its nice
i want to know more details about it and did you manufactured it and the price of that

kheili khub bud..alie..:-)

Thank you all, for the comments, at the moment I am still working on the magnetic mechanism of the gas output controllers in the Spiral Tube.

This is a great idea but how do you adjust the jet size and air mixture?
TOFU says
what exactly did you solve? every feature here you mentioned are already on current gas stove tops. Only thing you did was make it a spiral, which is subjectively pleasing at best.
The usability of this is actually more complicated than current gas stove tops which only have ONE knob to turn not two!
Also heat distribution is worse than current stoves, so is the cleanability of this, that spiral center is basically a grease trap!
There is not improvement on anything that current stove tops do not offer, or please tell me otherwise.
Every time I come to Yanko and see these ass backwards solutions really p’s me off. Novelty is NOT design, anybody can come up with a gimmick, designers exist to solve problems, you so called designers need to get that through your head.
protorob says
Yes, i was tthinking in this solution since more tha 5 years but i’ve been allways stucked with the dynamics of the gas tsraveling throught the fixture.
I have to say that as an industrial designer my knowledge on fluids dinamics is not ass good as an engeneer could have.
