    51 amps! - that's a heck of a battery pack. I don't know what to tell you. Your setup is almost exactly what I am using to check gain ratio on caps.

    Killing zvs boards

    Other more sinister problems happened when coils short to themselves or the core. The work coil cannot have a short, typically not a problem; the choke shorted to the core can be a big problem. Haven't had it happened to me but chipped paint on the core is a warning. The way that the...

    I see the switch; that is having the right voltage in the right places. The trace cut should be through to the fiberglass. The numbers you are getting from the ammeter are what I would expect. The HalfPint easily does 8 amps or around 100W. Good wetting of the solder joint on the centertap is...

    The image host is unavailable atm so I cannot zoom in. I see nothing inherently wrong. Shorts, or maybe even arcs, could be causing an issue but you took care to insulate. These FETs should be cool-running at idle (w/o cap inserted and firing). That is where the testing begins. The module...

    Oh yes, a parts catalog so you can mix and match colors would be cool ;] I like the idea. I'm pretty sure the first 3 questions are 'yes'.

    Vap Hot Box - Dynavap Induction Heater

    Chargers can get quite hot. If it charges fast, this is the reason.

    Induction Heater Yllvape IH Power and temperature controlled induction for use with Dynavap

    I haven't talked about this vape mostly because I don't have one. I like the constant power option as this makes all caps the same. What I don't know is how well it functions. The last I heard is that you cannot see the power level being used during the bake. I know constant current is easy...

    Mail Order CBD

    I'm once again excited but Organic CBD Nugs. They must be feeling the pinch of their price hike. They've been pushing 60% off for memorial day (MEMORIAL60). This brings us back to $50 ounces. Doubly excited since they have Jack Frost CBG back in stock! I was very worried this specific...

    I suspect there is a transformation that happens when the vapor hits oxygen making the vape more visible. I find that doing direct draws as heating to produce very little cloud but a very effective extraction and delivery. I also find that strains vary greatly at what temperature the vape is...

    THIS!^ Those older caps -are- hotter than a sleeve. First thing I noticed testing varieties of the 'armored cap' as DV called them. As to why non-captive caps fall off - the "re-rounding" that installing the FMJ does to the ovalized cap is what makes them fall off. You would need to ovalize...

    I think this is very interesting. Ever since George's TeaTime explaining the 3 lots of metal purchased for caps, I've been curious as to what happened in recent years. George said there was an original batch... a second batch in early '18 from a different supplier, and a 3rd batch from the OG...

    DIY Induction Heater Builds and References

    12V will under-charge the cells by quite a bit. 2 amps is a fairly hot charge for li-ions or LiPos. 1.5 amps will get the cells warm. I charge using a lab supply with CVCC. I have to limit that source current or a pack will draw too much power for the BMS. The BMS charge circuit doesn't...

    Copper won't heat with an IH's though. This is a torch solution.
