10 kW

Unlocks Higher Performance

Each heating element delivers up to 10,000 watts — equivalent to a 72,000 BTU gas burner. Boils water in under 40 seconds. Continuous power delivery without pulsing, with true closed-loop temperature control down to a single degree.

3+ kWh

Energy Storage Built In

A custom LFP battery pack turns every appliance into a distributed energy asset. Products charge intelligently, deliver peak power from stored energy, and support demand response and time-of-use optimization — all from a standard 120V outlet.

Cloud + AI

A Direct Line to Your Customer

Traditional appliance brands lose the customer relationship when they deliver to distribution. Impulse Core changes that. Full cloud connectivity, fleet telemetry, and over-the-air updates give brands a direct, ongoing relationship with every unit in the field.

Impulse Core modules are pre-certified and built to integrate across a wide range of form factors — from cooktops and ranges to ovens and beyond. Global voltage and frequency compatibility out of the box.

Partners get access to the full technology stack: power electronics, battery management, sensor fusion, and software. Impulse handles the hardest engineering so brands can focus on product design, distribution, and customer experience.

The result: appliances that deliver professional-grade performance without requiring electrical upgrades — and a direct relationship with every customer through cloud telemetry, OTA updates, and connected services that improve the product long after the sale.

Six subsystems.
One integrated platform.
Every module in Impulse Core is custom-designed, purpose-built, and pre-certified — giving partners a multi-year head start over building from scratch.
Bi-Directional Inverter

Bi-Directional Inverter

Custom power conversion that seamlessly moves energy between the grid and the battery. Auto-senses 120V or 240V input and supports all global voltage and frequency standards — enabling a single hardware design for worldwide deployment.

UL 1741 · 120V / 240V Auto-Sensing · Bidirectional
Battery Pack

High Density LFP Battery Pack

A 3 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery designed for daily charge-discharge cycles with a custom cell-to-pack architecture. LFP chemistry provides inherently lower thermal runaway risk compared to NMC or NCA alternatives, with intelligent BMS monitoring at every level.

Power Electronics & Controls

Power Electronics & Controls

The central control board that orchestrates every subsystem — managing power routing, battery scheduling, safety interlocks, and communication with the cloud. UL-recognized firmware ensures functional safety across all operating modes.

UL 60730 · Functional Safety · Real-time Control
Induction Coil

Induction Coil

Custom-wound coils engineered for continuous 10 kW output without the duty-cycle pulsing found in conventional induction. Delivers the equivalent of 72,000 BTU per element with true analog-like power modulation for precise, responsive cooking.

10 kW Continuous · No Pulsing · 72,000 BTU Equivalent
Temperature Sensor

Temperature Sensor

Active in-pan temperature measurement that enables true closed-loop cooking control. Measures actual food surface temperature in real time, allowing the system to hold precise setpoints from 20°C to 250°C — something no conventional cooktop can do.

±1° Precision · Closed-Loop · Real-time Feedback
Magnetic Knobs

Magnetic Knobs

Tactile physical controls with digital precision underneath. Magnetically coupled encoders give users the familiar feel of traditional knobs while enabling software-defined control modes, haptic feedback zones, and integration with the touchscreen UI.

First Certified Battery-Integrated Appliance

Impulse achieved the first US-certified battery-integrated appliance under UL 858. This unlocks scaling to any appliance manufacturer — the regulatory path now exists.

More Powerful Than Gas

Impulse Core delivers four times the power of traditional gas and three times standard induction — from a standard outlet. No contractor, no panel upgrade, no compromise.

$0

Zero Installation Cost Premium

120V compatibility means no electrician, no permit, no 50A circuit. Drop-in replacement for any existing cooktop cutout — fits 90% of existing installations.

Demand Response

Every Appliance is a Grid Asset

These aren't passive batteries. They're software-controllable energy assets — capable of demand response, time-of-use arbitrage, and virtual power plant participation.

Three paths into the home.
Every unit — regardless of how it's sold — runs on the same platform and connects to the same managed energy network.
