Another pretty good idea. I always wanted to take a cheap plug in water boiler and replace the heater coil inside the pitcher with something ZVS driven. Nice stainless coil seems like it could work.
That’s actually a good idea. What you could do is just place the coil in the water and use it as the heating element instead of flowing the water through the coil. I might actually try that myself.
@@BrianDhvTinkerer I bet there's all sorts of practical uses for it but to be honest I just wanted to be able to stand somewhere and have a conversation with a coworker while holding the thing in my hands, as if on my way to go plug it in and use it, then suddenly it starts steaming and boiling and I just pretend like I don't see it.
I think the idea of a smaller coil inside the bigger copper one may work better in terms of current drawer - that’s my next one. To tightly wind ferrous magnetic iron inside the bigger copper coil and pass water through the center coil.
Hmm I wonder if using an old fridge compressor one could welt the heat spreader to it so the heat transfert goes to the coil. Then you would have an heat pump which would be slower but also more energy efficient
@BrianDhvTinkerer if you are not able to weld may use a spot welder for battery packs. I want to try that out on heat spreaders in my radiator heatsinks. I also think about making videos about that kind of stuff, but its like really hard to get started xD. So mad respect to you.
If you increased the tube size for the stainless steel and more wraps will lower the resistance there would definitely be a very small window for the perfect setup without overloading them popr china made mosfets lol
@BrianDhvTinkerer give it a try then add a few more wraps and bigger pipe. Would like to see what that does to current draw and water heating..... I might use this for my sinks lol

Maybe try weaving in the steel through the copper? Or smaller coil inside copper one?

He needs an inductance meter and Xc formula.

Great idea- I need to try it out!

@@sir_no_name1478thank you. Yes for sure these ideas are sometimes hard to put into production. I was just so curious I couldn’t resist!

I’m amazed how well these Chinese MOSFETs have held up. I’ve actually abused them quite a bit and they’re still working.
