What sort of element is used to generate the heat?

Its a quarts element with an IR filtered glass housing. So the unit itself doesn't generate a lot of heat, it heats up objects close to it via the IR.

All types of electric space heaters convert electrical energy into heat. Ceramic and quartz heaters distribute their heat by convection, which heats the air and circulates it around the room. Infrared heaters transfer thermal energy via electromagnetic waves, which are absorbed by people and objects in their path, creating warmth.Read more : http://www.ehow.com/about_5348342_infrared-versus-quartz-ceramic-heaters.html

I'm not sure how to answer that except that it uses heat (there is a heat element located at the top) and a fan (air) - which circulates the heat.

The heating element isn't exposed, but the kettle itself is metal and gets very,very hot. Only the handle and maybe part of the lid stay cool. Other kettles I've had have been more insulated and get warm but not extreme hot.

It generates a bit of heat yes, but I've never had it overheat. Max ambient temp I used it in was I think 32C.

That information is not in the instruction manual, but it does say that there is no heat source, as the cool vapor is generated by ultrasonic vibration. I don't know if that helps at all, but your question is a good one.

Neither. It melts in a ball of flame.Ummm... I dunno. My application is very low current.

It has no cooling element or material BUT it does help keep your laptop on a flat surface which helps the laptop circulate air underneath it and stay a bit cooler. It also keeps my lap from getting hot as well.

There is no heating element. Thermal carafe keeps it hot. Our old one lasted until I erroneously put hot water into tank which is a big no!

Yes, they are known to generate heat...this is one of the few downsides to a plasma set. I put a small fan off to the side of the set with it cocked upwards and this blows the heated air up and away from the set.

Make sure you hold it down for a minute before you release it, so it will heat up the element. If that isn't it, I have no idea. May be defective.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. If you are referring to the pan, the heating core would be the non-seen materials that help distribute heat properly. In this case, the pan is made of aluminum, that has been treated to make it non-reactive to acidic materials. Because it is all aluminum, it conducts heat well throughout the entire pan.

The element automatically heats to around 120 to 140 degrees. I have not had a problem with overheating. I was very amazed the adhesive did not melt or release. This is my second winter with it. Better start ups and quicker heat.

There should be an electrical cord that runs the heating element. I can't see it in the picture. On my unit the rod that supports the heating element is aluminum and the grate is stainless steel. None can be seen in the picture.

So far we have not had any problems with the electrical element. The Element does not heat up too much.

Metal. Works really well, I like it. l do as they suggest and put hot water in it for a few minutes, pour it out, the put in the stuff i want to keep hot. Having the insides hot already keeps the stuff hot longer. The outside also heats up fast if you run hot water over it.

As with any type of lighting fixture some heat is produced. In the case of this or other T5 fixtures it is minimal. The reason being the technology is effiecent at converting the energy used into light versus a less efficient technology such as incandescent or high pressure sodium which produce more heat than light for the energy used.
