@@mememan2344 No. Sorry can't say but it did improve the energy-efficient efficiency to such an extent that I used 1/4 of the energy of what a normal induction cooker used and allowed me to cook meals with a mere 150 watts instead of 600 to 800 watts as used by most induction cookers. That is why I could run it from a cars cigarette lighter socket.

Its interesting to see the frequency change with the RGB fragmentation at 3:51 when it switches to 10× times frequence you can see exactly 10× more fragmentation from the magnetic field.
I wonder if that would work on cast iron. I have a cast iron griddle but I can't really use it on my cookstove because the gaps between the burners leave cold spots on the griddle. It'd be nice to have something that heats the whole griddle evenly while demagnetizing my credit cards. (grin)
Thanks. Very interesting. Quick ask. Please leave the diagrams up longer. Flashing for a couple of seconds doesn't show us anything unless we scratch around to find and pause them. Might be an idea to include something about Moffett drivers, even if it's just to say we should use them and why.

the human still needs to put out enough energy/second to heat the water, taking into account the efficiency of the conversion equipment. See above for what was the rest of my comment. :P

Is it possible to make a induction heater 3d printer to melt powdered metal or small granules of metal & have it extrude as part cooled metal through heat resisted nozzle so that it dont drip out & dont just run but holds its form we would need a way to instantly cool the metal like pressured non flamable gas maybe?
Interesting! Since the coil is only "carrying" the magnetic flux, it doesn't get hot itself, but the radient heat from the sample might exceed the melting point of copper if enough power is applied, so cooling the coil would be needed. So now I'm wondering how flowing a polar molecule (h2o) through the coil will behave? (Not important, just gedankenexperimenting ;)
@@101jchristensen Water is pretty much non magnetic, at least for practical purposes. Diamagnetic, to be specific. Running water through the inductor coil is done routinely in the industry, you should take care to insulate the pump.
Rob, perhaps for completeness it is worth mentioning that eddy currents are a very inefficient way to heat up a piece of metal. In the device you presented eddy currents play a very minor role. Most of the heating is achieved by magnetic domains switching under the influence of fastly changing external magnetic field. So only ferromagnetic samples can be heated efficiently and even them only to the Curie point temperature. It takes a much more complicated induction heater to melt steel or to heat non-ferric metals. Like you video though.
Silly question i know! Is it possible to make a hollow magnet with a different materiel sealed and enclosed inside?...Just my stupid out the box thinking lol
Hook this up to a wind turbine and have the spinning magnets heating up the bottom of a well inuatwd sand battery get all that energy into it as heat and during winter use the excess heat to get your home.

Robert, Subject: Concrete Battery ... Could you do a video on building and using a small concrete battery (cement, carbon black, and ??) ?? It would be appreciated.
i hate to ruin it but i saw those news articles and looked into it and they're mostly pretty absurdly inefficient because the internal resistance is so high. however i have a cool idea of using carbon black baked into some bread just for smaller scale versions of that
would the steel still heat up if it's packed inside carbon, or would the carbon absorb the power? If the heat can be focused on the steel, I'm thinking it might be a decent way of case hardening mild steel.
Rather not. Graphite has a low permeability, so the energy will get absorbed by it before getting through to the metal. It is frequency dependent though, so a low frequency like 50/60 Hz would be your friend. But why would you pack your steel in carbon if you want to heat the metal? For surface hardening you would rather choose a high frequency which concentrates on the surface, so you don't heat more of the piece than necessary.
@@graslurch3685why? A. for carbon case hardening want a low carbon steel to be very hot next to hot carbon so the carbon start diffusing into the surface of the steel to produce a thin layer of extremely hard but brittle high carbon steel. As bulk of such steel doesn't have the additional carbon it retains the properties of mild steel. Could also add nitride case hardening in similar way, but the chemicals to apply to surface tend to somewhat toxic.
One of the (supposedly) easier ways (by video sources), is to just get a inductive cooktop heater, and attach an add on tank circuit to it. One coil as a pick up transformer coil over the cooktop, and a furnace coil for the work area, with it's own collection of tank circuit capacitors. My question would be, can such an arrangement melt gold, and copper in a graphite crucible? The added coil would need to be tubing for water cooling.
You can find videos of people liquifying metal with induction heaters, and also check out microwave crucibles. This probably doesn't answers your question but its at least a start.
@onieyoh9478 Oh, I've found those. An induction melting setup would lend itself to continuous casting of copper into bars. I am tempted to get a microwave, just for melting reclaimed gold, though. Reclaiming gold from electronics generates quite a bit of copper as a byproduct.
@@jimmaag4274 You might want to talk to the manufacturers of copper tubing that use induction furnaces to preheat their copper billets. Now induction cooktops often have a magnetic detector that only works with ferrous materials, and that probably needs to be bypassed. But induction heating itself works really well on graphite crucibles.
Thank you Rob! Pretty awrsome video. How about revisiting how to depopulate PCB's and some beginer level DIY electronic projects with all recycled parts?
@@travismoore7849 No, you use the induction heater to heat a radiator plate directly rather than going for the complexity and losses of adding hot water/steam to the process. More efficient, though, is using IR projector heaters--direct heating of surfaces rather than heating air in the room.
It takes about 14.43 times more energy to raise water temperature than sand. But sand doesn't boil at 100°C, and that phase change requires even more energy.
@@Vibe77Guy depends on conduction speed in the sand, which is affected by air movement. So it it's a sealed bag not a cloth one it'd last longer, plus the grain size will affect it, as will it's composition. Basically, the question is unanswerable without more info. But in general, yes, the water will cool faster.

The free electrons have nothing to do with that. It's the electrons that aren't free, and are shared between adjacent atoms to form molecular bonds that hold everything together.
A solid metal is less solid that you might imagine. A crystalline metal structure is somewhere between a solid and a mesh network. The sea of electrons can be convinced to scoot over to their neighboring atoms in conductive materials by various means and voila, you have a current!
Rather than generating the oscilation with a tank circuit, a relaxation oscillators using someekind of negative differental resistance device would seem to be a great way of dumping power quickly into a coil. Charge a large capacitor.and when it exceeds a threshold voltage dump the charge into coil. Yes the relaxation oscillator frequency would need be adjusted to suit coil and part, but that could itself be useful in how focused the heating effect is. Also different materials heat up better at different frequencies
I'm not an engineer so this is just an idea. However, I don't really see this as a mechanism as such if it is simply built into the disc so that it switches on and off (preferably magnetically), as it spins. The speed of the switching equal to the speed of the generation.
Excellent! Now I shall heat the methane from the garbage converter to further heat the garbage in the converter. Then I will soon draw the knife that cuts into the sushi that the algae grew a long time ago.
Why not use this to boil water for a steam turbine generator and use a portion of the output to drive the induction circuit after the water begins to boil inside the pressure vessel, the output would be enough to power the induction circuit and still produce output power because of the expansion of the water and the increasing pressure, not getting something from nothing, just capitalizing off of the expansion of the water into steam and tapping a small portion of the output power to continue the reaction while using the rest of the output to do work like charging batteries or just running other stuff. The input would be x, the output would be x + the expansion of water, - friction and losses, or y, y is greater than x, therefore once started from outside input, it could run itself.
@@thekaxmax no, it's not, perpetual motion require no initial input and has zero friction, and is therefore in violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics, my idea here requires input energy, allows for friction and capitalizes off of known expansion of water vapor under pressure, it is no more a perpetual motion machine than every steam turbine power plant in existence.
@@jasonburguess Nope. All perpetual motion requires is more energy out than put in. No perpetual motion machine has ever made the point that it's frictionless.

@thekaxmax water has mass, mass has energy, you are using the energy that is already in the system not getting it from nowhere. It requires about 1kw per hour to heat a liter of water to boil, but the water once boiled can produce 2kw worth of output electricity via a turbine generator set up, take the 1st kw and use it to fuel the input and the output is 1kw minus the friction in the system
