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 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
