Micro oven

AI Thread Summary

A user is seeking assistance in building a portable, miniature butane-powered oven, ideally in a 1-inch cube or ball shape, that can quickly reach and maintain a temperature of around 200 degrees Celsius. Suggestions include using indirect heating methods, such as circulating a fluid with a boiling point close to 200 degrees Celsius. Ethylene glycol, with a boiling point of approximately 197 degrees Celsius, is mentioned as a potential fluid for this purpose. The discussion focuses on the design and functionality of the oven, emphasizing the need for efficient temperature control. The project aims to create a compact and effective cooking solution.

Hi, can anyone please help with my project of building a portable miniture Gas (butane)powered oven. Approx a 1" cube or ball shape? Needs to be able to raise temp quickly, and hold even oven temp of approx. 200Deg. Celsius...
Thanks,
Richard

You might heat it indirectly with a circulated fluid having a boiling point of appx. 200C
Ethylene Glycol has a boiling point of 197C.

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
