Option 1 : Dielectric heating

Induction heating is a method of heating conductive material by subjecting it to an alternating electromagnetic field, usually at frequencies between 100 and 500 kHz.

Arc heating is the heating of matter by an electric arc. The matter may be solid, liquid, or gaseous. When the heating is direct, the material to be heated is one electrode; for indirect heating, the heat is transferred from the arc by conduction, convection, or radiation.

Dielectric heating (Capacitance heating) is the method of heating non-conductive materials. The material to be heated is placed between two electrodes, to which a high-frequency energy source is connected. The oscillating field passes through the material and as the field direction changes, the polarisation of individual molecules reverses rapidly, causing friction and hence heat. The higher the frequency, the greater the movement. Typically, frequencies in the range 5 MHz to 80 MHz are used. This technology is used in Wood Gluing, RF Drying, and Plastic Welding.
