"After carefully studying the needs of Danish housewives, Juul worked on the design of an electric stove. In order to save power and reduce risk, he created a model with hotplates operating at 6, 11 and 14 volts, depending on the amount of heat required. The hotplates heated up much more quickly than on earlier models. His patented design was put into production by the company Lauritz Knudsen (LK) in 1934 and remained popular until the late 1950s. Even in the 1950s, the low-voltage stoves were described as absolutely good and leading in terms of the plates' utility. They were only outcompeted when the spiral hob appeared on i.a. LK's stove "Safir"."

12 September 2023, Juul's low-voltage stove was collected from the Elmuseum in Haslev, where the staff had to acquire a forklift to carry the 120 kg stove onto the trailer. The return to Gedser went without problems. However, a member of the association had to use his tractor (with lifting equipment) to get Juul's stove safely transferred into the current gallery and museum (furnished in the property's converted barn). When permits from the Coastal Directorate and fund support have been acquired, Juul's stoves will be transferred to the planned Juuls Museum on the Gedser Wind Turbine's own cadastre. |
