On flame out, the expanding gas that still flows assists in the cooling of the thermocouple, causing the millivolts to drop away to deenergise the coil, releasing the spring loaded valve plunger to shut off the gas flow. So neat and clever.
Hugest thanks for taking the time to unwrap this device. With your information I was able to troubleshoot our propane heater. I was about to replace it, but I don't have to now. This video is really appreciated 🙏🏼😎 Your a legend!
The first time I bought a cooker with this feature, it really bogged me trying to understand how it works. I even thought I'll need to keep the cooker on electricity for it work, and was even more surprised when it worked without electricity. Super cool, and very creative!
Wow. I had no idea that's how these worked. I always assumed they were gas or liquid filled and just replaced the whole assembly including the valve because of that misunderstanding. Thank you.
Very well explained and very clear video. I searched about the thermocouple as I was curious about its principle and did not know how it works. Now I know what is going on in my home portable gas heater. Thank you 👍
very well explained. thank you. it would've also been super cool if you showed a measurement of the voltage at the terminal while heating/cooling the tip.
Thank you for that excellent explanation, at least I know that my kitchen gas hob will still work in the event of a power cut as this system is totally self contained to each burner. As a side note I have found that the thermocouple protecting the small hob burner needs cleaning fairly often as it can be rendered inoperative by even a thin layer of carbon dust acting as an insulator. Wow, I have learnt two useful things this week. :)
Perfect demonstration! Is there a reason how some stovetops instantly close the gas stove when you put the handle in the 0/initial position? I don't get how they manage to instantly close the valve without waiting for the cooloff delay.
My thermocouple when heated is giving about 26mV but not engaging the magnetic safety valve even if you press the valve. Could the magnetic valve be mismatched with the thermocouple from factory? Which magnetic valve works on 26mV??
Thanks for explanation! I think that when the system is installed correctly, in the event of an abnormal burner extinguishment, it works quite quickly, because the gas continues to blow over the sensor and it cools faster than in this demonstration.
Incorrect. The thermocouple generates a few millivolts of electricity when heated. That's why there is a coil and electromagnet assembly in the valve. He clearly showed it. The electromagnet holds the valve open as long as voltage is applied to it. And that voltage is created by the heating of dissimilar metals in the thermocouple tip. Study on it a bit more.
Try cleaning the thermocouple tip and post gently with either wire wool or a fine stainless metal pan cleaner to remove any carbon deposits, it fixed my small gas hob burner that has been bugging me for weeks, saw that tip on another UA-cam video. :)

Excellent..thanks

This was very well explained and saved us time and money. We were able to fix our fire pit. THANK YOU.

this is amazing, couldn't find any other videos on this and you explain it so well

Thanks mate for explaining how this device works - no more magic!

Thanks for this, I'm troubleshooting this very problem on a stove and this has solved the problem. Good electrical connections are essential.
Perfect explanation, thank you!
Thank you for posting, a very clear, well explained and demonstrated video
Wow… Very well explained. Thanks for your efforts to explain.
Your explanation is excellent, I have learned a lot from this, thank you very much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video! It helped a lot to understand why my pizza oven is not starting properly.
Thank you for sharing. Very informative
well done , THANK YOU 🙏
Good explanation man
Excellent, good knowledge
Good job
Very good info.
Thanks

Thank you sir
Very will explained 👍🏼
Interesting and useful

Amazing job, very well explained, thanks a lot
Glad somebody enjoyed the video, this one is my least watched one basically, but a cool concept I thought!
Where can I buy those?
you are amazing
Thanks for explanation!

I don't think it has anything to do with electricity. But it works by expanding the metal tip and then pushing the tip on the valve to lock it.

Hi.sir when I remove hand from key .oven burner safty is off. What. S
Are the coils a standard diameter or specific to the valve body? Do the coils require different MV to activate?
Is it use for home gass pipeline
when press valve but no gas flow what wrong and how to make gas flow?
but if my brick oven is very hot ( 1000 F) the safety valve will still shut off despite the high temp?
where is the Igniter ?
👍👍👍👍👍
any idea how i can increase the sensitivity of this device? my stove takes a long time before it latches open.

👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🙂
I have to ausk many thinks about gase burner.
