I learned to draw electronic circuits when there where no computers. I still draw mostly by hand. Drawing a circuit by hand gives you a better understanding of it. I encourage my children to write everything down. It's also very good for developing eye hand coordination.
I built this circuit and would like to share some details that will help you . 1) Select polypropylene capacitors for lowest loss. It is bettter to use many smaller capacitors in parallel rather than a few bigger ones. 2) The circulating current in the tank circuit is very high; it is multiplied by the Q factor. Q factor is determined by tank losses. The circulating current is roughly equal to the measured circuit current draw multiplied by the Q. For example if the current draw is 5 A., and the tank Q is 50, the circulating current could be 250 amps. This is why the coil and the resonating capacitor gets so hot so quickly. By using many smaller capacitors in parallel you distribute this current so that no one capacitor will be subject to huge currents. 3) The voltage across the capacitor is roughly 2 pi times the supply voltage. Select capacitors with a voltage rating about 10 times the supply voltage. 4) Two critical ratings of the mosfets are: 1) the drain-source breakdown voltage. Each mosfet will be subject to a voltage of roughly pi times the supply voltage. The mosfets should have a voltage rating of at least 4 times the supply voltage. 2) Drain source current rating which should be calculated from the desired wattage of your circuit. In addition, the drain-source resistance should be a low as possible in order to minimize the head dissipated by the mosfets, and also to maximize the potential power available from a given supply voltage. Along with zener diodes to protect the gate of mosfet, it is recommended to place a small resistor (10 ohms is good) in series with the gate to damp out ringing which can subject the gates to excessive voltage. The gate of a mosfet is quite fragile, and should not be subject to greater than about 20 volts. 12 or fifteen volt zener diodes are recommended...... I hope that this helps experimenters with this useful circuit, and thanks to GreatScott for the excellent video presentation.
This is a great piece of information. Adding capacitors in parallel might help reduce heat/load on the capacitors itself. How could one reduce the heat of the coil without a fan, or pumping water through it? I have tried to mess around with the windings but is not effective in keeping the coil cool. Your help would be appreciated. Someone has suggested that a thicker copper wire should decrease the temperature of the coil.
I also wanted to ask you about that ... what do you mean by constant current source ?, aren't they just a high-frequency choke to prevent oscillations from coupling back to the supply
Thanks! A couple years ago when I was 10 I saw this video and went to the local electronics shop and built the exact thing just from looking at the way you did half the parts where from scrap items and ended up using it till I moved house
UA-cam changed its recommended video algorithm and I would say nearly everyone has had the hot knife videos in their recommended tab leading to a huge spike in views/subscribers.
Chlorine together with Carbon and heat, at least open flame, produces Phosgene gas, (any one who has worked CFC air con. have come across it), and that is really toxic.
When removing enamel from copper wire, first burn it off using a lighter or something. It will come of really easily. On some thin wires, using sandpaper will risk breaking it.
A cool idea would be to make an induction heating probe that was driven through a flexible cable. That would be very useful for soldering plated iron standoffs onto pcbs.

In addition to the differences in resistance and magnetic susceptibility, different material also have different specific heat values. Aluminum, for example, has a much higher specific heat than iron or copper, steel, titanium and is about 7X that of Tungsten. So, it takes more energy/heat to raise a gram of Aluminim than for many other metals.
I usually avoid videos like this , but I figure this can't be one where things are heated, and just a lot if playing around, like the videos where they build fly backs, and make arcs the whole video, but this is much better, great video Mr Scott!!!
The best demonstration of the phenomenon that exists on youtube. You showed the results with different materials in a very simple but useful way.The little knife is just the appetizer. Congratulations.
If we want to convert this to an induction cooker what changes should we do. Point is when u put any ferromagnetic material inside the coil it heated up as inside the coil and inside the coil magnetic field is very strong . but near to its opening it should work good and produce proper heat . what changes should I need to use it as induction cooker , do I need larger coils (obviously). and put small utensil inside it for efficient heating .
I am working with my 7 year old son on electro magnetic experiments. He also observed the change in heat when we used a thick iron screw as a core. However, my equipment is really scrappy and I am missing a lot of what you might have at your disposal. Do you have a recommendation for equipment that you’d see as a minimum necessary to produce repeatable results?
All of these induction videos have such small coils, I would like to see one large enough and powerful enough to be used for recycling purposes such as being able to pass an aluminum can through the coil and powerful enough to melt extruded aluminum such as window frames and even able to melt brass.
to do that you need "transistors" the size of a pack of cigarettes, something that can handle 1200 volts and 800 amps, maybe something like the MGQQ400Q1US11 by Toshiba
Once you collect a few tools and supplies and start scavenging through old electronics. You put them together and blow up tons of circuits. Then you finally make something that works. You can't figure this stuff out without letting the pixies loose. You learn more from your mistakes. Go let the smoke out of something.
is the mug made of metal? Induction heating only works on metals, not ceramic. Though I agree, I don't like the hot knife videos. They are absolutely boring.
You could make it just like he did but you'd have to make the coil larger than the mug so it'll fit. Plu you'd have to remember that the coil is heating the MUG which is in turn heating the liquid, so be careful and don't burn yourself.
I don't know if I can help as far as the math goes, but I have about 3 industrial induction heaters that we use for drop forging. the coils are really large and it seems that inductance of the coil (AKA the diameter) has no effect on it. however, the coils are made of a copper tube so that water can flow through them to keep it cool. therefore, I would recommend you use a thicker gauge wire to let the resistance of the heating coil.
Iron (steel) 26-Fe, Cobalt 27-Co, Niken 28-Ni: They are in the Iron-magnetic group. the Foucault current (AC) will make them be hot (the ingot or bar form of those materials is easily to transfer heat)
4:35 The word is Hysteresis or magnetic resistance. When a ferromagnetic material is magnetized in one direction, it will not relax back to zero magnetization when the imposed magnetizing field is removed.
Simply use a cheap 40watt soldering pencil and a box cutter blade. Use the screw that holds the soldering tip, remove the tip and attach the box cutter blade through the hole in it to the outside of the heating coil, that secures the tip. So instead of a soldering tip you have a razor blade that is constantly heated by the solder pencils inductor. You don't need to keep heating it up; it stays hot. Cheap soldering pencil (40watt) stand, flux, and a small rol of 60/40 solder at Walmart = $9.99 and a pack of 10 razor cutters = $3.49. ⚡⚡ I use my variable solder station with a small coil of wire clamped in place of the tip, on my heat mat to keep my coffee hot.

Hi I have a question ,I hope find answers? Many other youtubers did this experiment but after few minutes the circuit got broken. Why ??? What do you think the reason?
it's when one of the transistors stays on usually due to gates not being pulled all of the way down to ground, look up latching circuits to see how that could be useful and a better definition of the concept
"Shooting-Through" in a Mazzilli "ZVS" context has been explained in detail right there, over a decade ago (...): docplayer.net/26964431-High-voltage-resonant-self-tracking-current-fed-converter-a-thesis-presented-to-the-faculty-of-california-polytechnic-state-university.html High voltage resonant self-tracking current-fed converter (2010-Mar) p52/152 Mazzilli Converter Topology p53/152 Figure 2.9: Mazzilli Converter Topology That's why we can blame it on denial + mis-representation today.

Soldering also releases toxic fumes, that's why you buy a fume extractor, or solder near an open window with a fan.

That's what you get from a BA in economics, a BS in Computer Science, a Masters in Physics; Optical/Acoustics, Quantum, and Classic Mechanics, undergrad in General Chemistry, Masters in Ancient Biblical Dialects, and finally an EMBA in Business and World Economy. And all but one degree was tuition free. But through it all I am a musician and musical instrument amplifier and high end stereo tube amp repair tech. I have a brain full of almost useless academia; but have always been a general "hands on" repair craftsman for over 45 years. Love your videos. I also write code, starting with the assembly machine code for the intel 8088 and 8086 back in the late 70's and know my way around the other 80% of the bandwidth of the Worldly really wide Webulator. White hat.
omfg your handwriting is soooo nice more satisfying to watch than a 1000° knife challenge!!
Your video seems to follow the trends ;)
YOU ARE MY HERO searched for such a video 3 hours now!!!!
lol you actually drew dozens of em?😂😂
M'well a couple others did it before:
Mazzilli around 2008
Royer in 1954...
can i heat the diesel pipe of my oil burner ? or is to hot so it burns my pipe?
"Sadly this is what content people watch"
LMAOOOO
Thanks for showing this to us Greatscott.
lol, Great Scott snipes the 1k knife lovers!
I still have never clicked that video; do they use an induction heater to get the knife that hot?
Seraephus nope, they are using gas torches (the same as red hot ball guy uses)
LAME!
This was excellent and this guy really knows his stuff. Good job!!
PouAh! Ha! Ha! Spoken like a true "influencer"!!
How much a kit today???
...
@@Egzoset I don't know what you mean. I don't receive any compensation or benefit from this thing. I have no connection whatsoever to it. I was just giving this UA-camr a well deserved complement, that's all.
@@deanhough8993, problem is it's not as "deserved" as you seem to believe, which is about one other issue, beliefs...
2:45 must’ve taken a long time
Would it be possible to hack a normal induction cooking plate to make an induction heater? Thank you!
can you pls make switching mode inverter 12v to 220v in one of your next videos pls !!!
I made same induction heater last month but now I understand how it works thx !!!
You made me realized that I still have a lot of things to learn
4:55 According to the simple schematic-----------say what?
You got yourself a better food heater than a microwave. Lets all make popcorn with it and watch Scott.
P.S: I’m sure that there are nor micro waves destroying your food properties now.
it's like the 1000 degree knives but in a scientific way
FreeShit ikr!
FreeShit more advanced than using gas torch!
Hi
I have a question ,I hope find answers?
Many other youtubers did this experiment but after few minutes the circuit got broken.
Why ???
What do you think the reason?
Denial would seem like the begining of a most probable hint... These days DynaVap prefers to wrap it up as some mystical/magical "DNA"!
"ROOM TEMPERATURE KNIFE VS INDUCTION COIL!"
Can i make my own induction heater by using copper coil and ac currents (220 Volts) of our homes directly. Will it be okay to do...?
"sadly people seem to like more videos of that knife thingy."
nikoli gogle lol, I love that part...
What is that knife thingy again?
Exacto knife
Can someone tell me the name of the song at 0:51. because it's not in the description
I was forced to just insert the tip of it....lol
5:14 what does a latch up mean? I searched it on the internet but couldnt find the right answer
it's when one of the transistors stays on usually due to gates not being pulled all of the way down to ground, look up latching circuits to see how that could be useful and a better definition of the concept
"Shooting-Through" in a Mazzilli "ZVS" context has been explained in detail right there, over a decade ago (...):

That's why we can blame it on denial + mis-representation today.
was about to make a 1000° knife joke, you was faster...
You just follow my schools program ,with the electrical stuff ,man you better explain then my teacher ,thanks mate
Hi. (Sorry for my bad english)
great job. you do some of the most and best explanations on youtube please never stop
Yeah only insert the tip😂
always a pleasure Scott watching
I really wish I could write like that.
I wish I had his understanding of electronics but it is not my bag.
Your hand written schematics are beautiful and I’m jealous haha.
Not his.
Don't give MrGear any new ideas
The angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat, provided that the maxis of the axis, and the gravity of the cavity, remain constant.
It always sounds weird when you say "i-ran", it's pronounced "i-on" :D
Or i-urn
It's personal preference ("eye-run" or "eye-uhrn")
what are you austrialian? It’s pronounced literally as such “i -ron”
I yearn for iron
Very nice, clear, helpful video..Thanks alot hoping you will provide us with such excellent videos in future
Who else coming after watching Electroboom's recent video 👍
Me!
I was about to comment the same thing lol
Thank you for giving me the explanation about the transformers with the plates.. I always thought it was due to design/build reasons.
"I can start cutting through things with a hot x-acto knife because sadly this is the type of content way too many people enjoy watching." Hahaha, that was funny. For real though. People watch some stupid shit and that kills brain cells instead of actually teaching something.
Congratulations you figured out how to make a super strong vaporizer(atomizer)
