    How to not short circuiting an induction heating coil

    hmmm ... starting to see the correlation between light, electricity, magnetics and sound ... starting to get more interesting. just figured it out that the 'soup can heater' could be built with a rf generator ... wonder if i could mod an old metal detector to do the job?? - worth...

    How to not short circuiting an induction heating coil

    Thanks for the info. They offer their fuelless info for pay ... so I found 'someone' who already had it to 'borrow' it from and read over. Gonna start ripping apart an old tv, microwave, radios and what-not to scavenge 'stuff' off of to start playing with ... also got tons of 14gauge wire...

    How to not short circuiting an induction heating coil

    You're correct which is exactly why I'm posting here ... to gather information that will help me to make 'informed' decisions ... to learn from others asking questions is one of the ways that I have chosen to begin learning. I am also reading a lot of online material as well as books...

    How to not short circuiting an induction heating coil

    well, that just takes all the fun out of it. building something myself forces me to learn something about it and especially how to fix it when it's broken / when I break it. I don't want to build stuff because I need it ... just because I find it interesting. Thanks

    How to not short circuiting an induction heating coil

    Thanks for the feedback. Personally, I don't believe in boundaries. I think that I can achieve anything I put my mind to. Although you obviously have more experience in this field than I do (which is practically no experience at all) that doesn't mean that I am not capable of learning. My...

    How to not short circuiting an induction heating coil

    and blowing myself to kingdom come is, understandably, what i wish to avoid. i've gone through the wiki but i have not seen anything on it in terms of the required components to build one and / or how to determine components for larger / more powerful upscaling of a small one. so without a...

    How to not short circuiting an induction heating coil

    how to not short circuit an induction heating coil Just wondering about induction heating coils and how to not short circuit one. basically, if i hook up one end of the coil to the positive and one end to the negative (DC) i assume that i will be short circuiting the connection and also...

    Benefits of induction coil over an alternator?

    I'm just wondering about what benefits there are to building / using an induction coil as opposed to other devices to create devices for spark gap experiments. I am referring to the induction coils with a primary winding and secondary windings with enormous numbers of turns - similar to...

    Understanding Mass, Energy & Space: How Much Energy Does it Take to Move 1 Ton?

    well ... just for the example ... let's say 10km per hour and i was going to use 100 pounds of force (arm strength) to move the object and, then one more variable ... if one was to use a smaller force to move the object over a longer time period then is it the same formula ? ... just with a...

    Understanding Mass, Energy & Space: How Much Energy Does it Take to Move 1 Ton?

    Hi; disclaimer: I'm not a physicist. just wondering ... if i was in space and needed to move 1 ton of mass ... how much energy would it require? if everything in space is weightless then does it really require much energy? what about inertia? ... if a 1 ton mass was floating toward me could...
