Hippie on hill Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 22mm sounds a bit big to me. Do you have any 16mm tanks? I know a few people that have used the Cloupor Cloutank M3 replacement glass tanks their induction builds so there are probably other 16mm tanks that would also fit.

pothead11 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Oh right I'll probably wait until I receive the IH and have a good look at it and get the tape measure out . What should I put at the bottom of the coil to stop it falling through? I'm going to have plenty more questions until it is up and running . The other thing I wanted to know is it absolutely necessary to use a liner in the coil or could I leave it out . ?

pothead11 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Could somebody tell me what an induction heater actually is . Is it some sort of microwave oven or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microwaves transfer energy to water molecules because H2O molecules "resonate" in the 2 Ghz region where magnetrons operate... Anyway i bet this drawing may prove more helpful: The heating of polymer composites by electromagnetic induction – A review (2013-Oct-24) They may overlap on this graphic and perhaps susceptors of the food industry will even heat-up and seal using microwaves but the frequency bands would still differ greatly anyway.

Egzoset Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Good, i knew with a suitable graphic i only takes ¼ ~ ½ sec. at most to catch it all: e.g. within the lapse corresponding to the blink of an eye.

You need to understand the basics of electromagnetic induction really if you actually want to understand it. I cba, sorry. Re. your question about a sleeve inside the coil, it's not essential but it's helpful to prevent damage and keep a more consistent/optimal distance from the coil to dynavap. The coil copper has a lacquer that protects it. You are very unlikely to get a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pothead11 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Oh right thanks for the information. I know what I need to know . Thanks for your time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pothead11 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Something else . What did you use for a glass liner . I've looked at test tubes and inkwells . I wonder who does Dynavap glass . I am doing this just got to get all the bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyblack Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I have a bad feeling about this one.. cant you not just save for a premade induction heater @pothead11? eta: Either that, or do some homework Edited August 10, 2020 by stickyblack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egzoset Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Euh... IMO somebody will get a shock, if i may say so... About thermodynamics, astro-physics and what not: if you got a guitar (or a piano) just shout a well-defined note and observe how the strings react. It's about energy transfer via "sympathic" vibrations. TV antennas used to depend on it, pigments in plants do that too though at a very different scale. Every time it seems a common factor emerges it's going to involve length, in radio-amateur terms a ¼-wavelength "stub" resonator reaches it's High-Q operating range as the "electrical" wavelength gets close to 25 % the total length of 1 period or cycle, which is also influenced by parameters associated to transmission lines, starting with physical dimmensions - e.g. length. Etc., etc. But considering it's about the Mazzilli topology i much prefer my roller-coaster analogy, especially when the wagon's 4 wheels no longer make contact with a track's rails.

pothead11 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Think it's going to be a couple of weeks before everything shows up to put it together . No need to worry I'll not be getting any shocks . The IH should of arrived today but no such luck . power supply and switch coming from China . So far spent 14 quid but I've got it all for that so not bad . The switch I got is only rated for 3 amps but I should think it'll be ok . The IH will probably only draw 3 or 4 amps anyway if just used for my Chynavap. Happy days . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I use a classic Fish n Chip shop wooden fork as a stopper in my IH. Just slotted into the coil. Glass sleeve will protect the coil from your hot dynavap. Use a bit of epoxy to keep in place, but only after you've experimented with the stopper at different depths and found the sweet spot.

pothead11 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Nice one Ned that'll do me . Nothings arrived yet hopefully by the first September I'll be able to get it made . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
