    DIY Induction Heater Builds and References

    So, just to check ONE more time before I get the gear out, after I strip the caps and torroidal cores off the board, I am beefing up the trace between the MOSFET legs, cutting the large trace on the opposite side of board, configuring the single cap and inductor, and use the 18AWG to run thru...

    DIY Induction Heater Builds and References

    this going to sound nutty in this day and age but I have neither camera nor a cell phone. I am a real throwback on the phone, I just never had the use and the camera I did have is somewhere but unless I get lucky I have not a clue where it is. The COVID restrictions up here only allow 1 person...

    I'll be darned but can you see the trace or do you just gently scrape it as I can see o sign of it on the surface of the PCB. My eyes are not what they used to be but I can only try to follow the picture and hope I find it I guess. Even with a strong light I cannot (held behind it, I can see no...

    Right above the following sentence is another view of the trace between the MOSFETS. How did you make that connection: Once the sub-assembly is soldered in place, congratulations, you've build a HalfPint. Thanks. I tried leaving a msg earlier but did not see it. Doug

    In the pic right above where it says: "And when were done with that we make sure the whole trace is tinned well with solder;" how did you make that trace and can one just jump a wire between the two MOSFETS? Maybe I'm not getting it but can you explain that operation please? Thanks in advance Doug

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    I have had mine since 2012 and it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. But I like to have another elbow (glass) for the both ends of the hose and run it thru a water piece. It gets you some .........er medicated.

    diy induction heater a little too hot

    thanks for that, I assume it is me that has the lack of the nomenclature but it also was just a point I was not too sure about. Thanks again. Kind of a new thing for me although I have made 4 but they were as stated with the 'standard out of the bag' devices and with a power switch from the...

    DIY Induction Heater Builds and References

    mind you and on a more cavalier 'sick' type joke I used to work at a Dodge garage after the first caravans came out and there was a recall and I appologize to anyone who this has actually happened to but on the news it came out like there were babies flying out of the backs of Dodge Caravan vans...

    diy induction heater a little too hot

    no WAY am I an expert on anything and this may be just in the vocabulary but in my experience and understanding of the cheap IH modules and my undefstanding of how inductors operate the coil generates NO heat whatsoever and it is the magnetic flux working on ferrous (steel, nickle, and there is...

    Firewood Vaporizer

    I went to the website I mentioned but I guess Sneaky Pete got HIS channel deleted by the sweetness that is utube, but there is still a small article on the Great White North Vape Co website that utube could not censor. By all.

    Firewood Vaporizer

    actually that is the Firewood 7, all wood and yes handmade, not by me but the price is a little off. It is $225, just was there from your link but STILL a nice unit. I think The Great White North Vaporizer Co did a short video on it and I do woodworking and I was impressed with the...
