    I do not know but the finding of having a bigger OD solves the PMO stainless tip problem. You just made it dirt cheap by using SS tips. The Ti tip will work but the range and/or function won't be there. I'm lovin' it!

    Orion Induction Heater

    Yesterday I noticed the FCC/CE markings on the Orion. That cost someone a pretty penny. Knowing that it is violation of law just to put those on there without filing agency reports, I can tell you A LOT OF MONEY has been dropped on giving you the Orion. It will take hundreds of Orion sales to...

    @Lynch - since Mr C is out and about; The glass thickness is a preference of how tight you want the cap in the IH. I like a roomy fit so it doesn't 'stick' if slightly angled. Then again, the medium thickness glass will be more robust than the thin wall glass. From a heating perspective...

    I just want the rest of my order. I assume that too is delayed.

    Sorry I missed your posts @danielj - Omni condensers are bigger and they seat in the Ti tip. Ti tips have a special bore to close off the Omni at 5mm. Withdrawing the condenser slowly opens the bleed area because the tubes are still engaged with a restricted clearance. This is the reason the...

    Orion Induction Heater

    24th in the order the order was received. Mine will be late therefore. It was an unfortunate shipping delay in the carrying cases. Everyone was suppose to release as once and DV was caught short.

    Box Troll Alright; we're gonna fuck with the Box Troll above. We will be doing a comprehensive build of one version of HalfPint, this being the flat version with components on the opposite side. I have made this decision based on several factors in no particular order; 1) The light will be...

    I can't leave this post hanging at intermission. We'll wait, I can - intermission! I've decided to do a HalfPint Conversion on this circuit. Parameters - small components on top and inductor and capacitor underneath. Coil on top. We're going to try a compliant passive contact shunt using...

    Orion Induction Heater

    There should be a whole lot more devices that use IH heating @flammy . Its very old magic. It just needs packaging.

    Okay, finally got the image for the latest frame to hold the bits. And in case you are wondering, the magnet on the left is a 5/16 x 1/8" N52 axially polarized magnet to pull the cap for whatever reason, normally to inspect done-ness. The central magnet is actualy a pair of 1/2" x 1/8"...

    Orion Induction Heater

    Knowing that the keystone is glued in place means one of two things; @RustyOldNail is right and they just bust whatever and put a new case on it or it is a glue than can be easily reconstituted to a soft state. Either way, Dynatec has held these things close to the vest so I don't expect a...

    Orion Induction Heater

    @km1og scatch that, @Kins - Would you give up the freedom of drawing on a stem without a bulk hanging off of it? Serious question. I've come to the conclusion that a separate stem from the heater is very efficient not only in use but in maintenance.

    Orion Induction Heater

    I think the reason for so many variations is the whims of the people. But those variables are a maker's nightmare. I choose the Orion (not over anything, just as a new device) because it is said to be hotter than the Apollo Rover. I can tame hot but I can't fix cold in a Dynatec. So it is in...

    These might be a simpler adjustment for click timing... Easier to add height than take it away. I have an idea there for you Jeff.

    Orion Induction Heater

    It is said by early users the Orion was more aggressive which sold me. But I think that 3-5 seconds is too fast, so probably under-done. Also mind the battery level. This will make a huge difference at the peak power level.
