Abstract
A heating device includes a housing, a primary induction coil, a controller circuit, and a secondary induction coil. The housing is configured to retain a camera lens. The primary induction coil is positioned proximate the housing and configured to generate a magnetic field in response to receiving electrical power from a power supply. The controller circuit is in electrical contact with the primary induction coil and is configured to control the electrical power delivered to the primary induction coil. The secondary induction coil overlays the primary induction coil and is configured to receive the magnetic field from the primary induction coil and generate heat. The secondary induction coil heats the camera lens when the primary induction coil receives the electrical power.
