Induction Heater

A tour around my home made induction heater. Power level is under a kilowatt. In the crucible is some potassium chloride, just to be weird. It's very watery when molten. Pictures, details and schematics available on my website: http://webpages.charter.net/da...

Allright but I make over 300 gold/hour using guide from GOLDMAKINGGUIDE(.)INFO lol. i pity the Night Elf warrior mohawk fool. 5 stars.

The maximum aperes in an american household is 15 amps, a european househould about half that (but twice the volts.) The thing about capacitors is that they can gather electricity over time and charge themselves higher then their input. That is how a shocking device works off of a regular battery.

What frequency is this running. I work in a foundry and I'm in charge of four induction furnices (2 x 750kW and 2 x 1250kW) and they run on 600Hz. I know how smaller the furnice how higher the frequency.

:O!

Sorry but im very ignorant and dont speak english well. You wrote that your electronical stuff ( capacitors or something like that) could rated over 400 amperes, but isnt the maximum amperes in a house is around 200, isnt it too much?

dude you just gave me a great idea, are you ready for anti gravity? try this, make the coil longer and put it inside a thick aluminum pipe. the negative field it creates against the pipe will give you a anti gravity effect. set it up vertically and then drop a nut through it.

Great Rig!

Thanks. I think most ionic compounds get more conductive with temperature as they melt. Metals do the opposite. I will try melting some salt tommorrow and see what happens! My video is 'induction heater fun'. I found melting steel a challenge purely because the power kept going down as it heated up!

To be exact, that was potassium chloride. It has almost the same properties as salt, and IS a salt, so not much difference. The crucible is made of steel, which works quite nicely, sometimes too nicely (while it's magnetic), as it loads the coil heavily (reducing output power). I don't know that molten salt would have enough conductivity to be kept liquid, at least with this much voltage. Tim

Just to clarify- you melt salt as in NaCl? It doesn't conduct till its molten so how do you start it off? I like the set up, especially the tank capacitor- 'old school' style!!
