ITT: Induction Heaters

Anyone ever build one? Tips for a newbie?

Mostly what I'm wanting to know is it's range of heat. I understand it mostly depends on how the copper tubing is placed. I have a .pdf I downloaded to brief me on some of the information, but I'd like to know what to expect when building one.

Why do you want to build a vaporizer?

Range of heat depends on the way it is built, which depends on the one thing everyone expects us to be able to magically know, which we do not, because we are not you (thank fuck).

What type of work are you wanting to do with the damn thing?

Holy shit I just had a brililant idea.
If I make one of those, and put it over a bullet casting, (With say, a nut and bolt on) when that shit liquifies, can I use it to cast steel ammo?

Why would you want steel ammo?

wouldn't the casting mold also be steel?

Isn't it obvious..to snort copious amounts of crack with.

How many steel boolets can you shoot before you wreck your barrel?

>can I use it to cast steel ammo?

Maybe if you use Argon, or a Vacuum.

There's only one example of a homemade induction furnace melting steel, and even that makes Cast Iron.

If it is for an e nail for dabbing I don't think it would be cost effective to diy one.
You could get a high quality one with a controller for around $100

I wanted to build one of these for metal melting but I got to the part where you need to use an oscilloscope and decided it was.over my head.
