Link to wiring diagram & STL file for 3D printing the handle: drive.google.com/open?id=1b8q...
Parts ordered from eBay.
Use the following lines to search for the components I used in the video:
"ZVS induction heater 1000w" - Induction heater with fan, 12-36VDC, 20A
"Switch power supply 24v" - Power supply, output 24VDC, 33A
"buck converter lm2596 adjustable" - Buck converter. Used to drop the voltage from 24v to 12v to drive the relay & LED
"12v 40A relay" - Basic automotive style 12v relay (recommend buying a 24v relay because it would eliminate the need for the buck converter. Note: if doing the aforementioned replace the
1kohm LED resistor with a 2.2kohm resistor)
"1/2watt metal film resistor" - (either 1kohm if using the 12v buck converter, OR 2.2kohm if running the LED directly from the 24v PSU)
"push on-off latching switch" - basic latching switch
"5mm LED mount bezel" - used to mount a 5mm led to the enclosure
"5mm led red" - The LED I used was rated for 3.2~3.8v and a max current of 20ma
"8GA wire" - Insulated 8gauge copper wire (I used about 3meters (or 10ft) total length)
"c14 socket" - look for a C14 socket with an integrated fuse holder.
"5mm fiberglass sleeving" - I bought sleeving with an internal diameter of 5mm. Buy about 2meters (6ft) worth (its cheap)
"Split Conduit" - Split cable sleeving to fit over the 8GA cables that go to the handle (20mm or bigger dia, 1.5m long)
"female spade terminal crimp yellow" - Used to connect the 8ga cable to the relay.
"3 core mains cable" - I used less than 0.5m (1.5ft) rated for 240vac, 10amps
"cable gland PG9" - quantity: 4
Optional:
"5mm copper tube" - 5mm dia, 500mm long (1.5ft) I used this to make the 2nd smaller coil in the video

Verbal typo at 19:52. To clarify: THIS induction heater won't heat non-ferrous metals. It's just not powerful enough. For heating non-ferrous metals like alloy, brass.etc you need a more powerful induction heater and also the coil frequency plays a major role when heating non-ferrous metals. Sorry for any confusion! - SCHEMATIX -

Nice build.. I am a noob on the matter and its more the concept that appeals to me... so pick up a cheap edition that cost around 3.5USD and been playing with it the last couple of days,. i.imgur.com/6lMr8mP.jpg Was planning to make some recording with thermal to show how the heat transfers and I atm I run it on an adjustable power bank that tops out around 80watt, but for proof of concept and small metal pieces its work brilliantly.. form a 3.5USD product it is able to make fx a 5mmAllen Key completely red glowing, solely from a USB(DC) powerbank.. DP my bad. Have you validated what kind of watt you are able to deliver with your setup and if it's loyal to spec' hence 1000w. would be very easy to put a basic watt-screen in your big casing and also give you a good indication when its in fact heating and when your holding it ideally on the mark' as that can vary greatly and here that amp current-info value is a good indication, for when its done heating and close to topvalue as it will then start to go down' and you don't have to hang butt naked in no mans land, if its heated or not or start looking for glowing identification' that can be difficult to see under some scenarios.

You can certainly induction heat non-ferrous metals like brass aswell. While not as effective as iron or steel because of no heating due to hysteresis losses and relatively low resistance in the material itself, it's definitely possibly, what really matters is if the work piece is conductive or not.

not sure if were on teh same wavelength but i modified the ZVS itself with some 2n2222 drivers, slam the gates hard and keep them saturated. rather than the lousy 5w resistor they standardly use. problem with ZVS is they dont like suddenly changing component values. things like, perhaps, sticking large bolts into coils whilst running. that ALWAYS resulted in fets EXPLODING on me... no smoke. no heat. just shards of epoxy encapsulation suddenly sprayed across the room. putting stuff in the coil THEN powering up was fine. they only like steady constant loads. abrupt changes whilst running... BOOM.

pro tip to make this just a tad bit better, move the capacitors closer to the coil at the handle bar, the current resonates between capacitor and coil, only a little gets added by the mosfets, the way you have it right now, all the current is circulating in the cableling to the handle aswell! if the capacitors are right next to it, it will work better and be more efficent. also edit, at these frequencies (likely around 100khz, the more caps the lower the frequency) 10sqmm wire isnt the same as 10x1sqmm (skin effect) use multiple thinner strands.

This is a fantastic little tool. I could do with something similar when replacing the AFR sensor on the car. I would add protection to the Relay to prevent Back EMF from damaging the Buck Converter. Unfortunately this is not a good DIY project in Australia due to our laws about mains power and requiring a qualified electrical contractor to do any wiring. Unfortunately, no matter how talented someone is, this makes it prohibitive to do as DIY here. Thanks for the informative and well laid out presentation video. That insulation twisting trick works really well on finer gauge cable as well. I recommend it as not only does it twist the cable well, it avoids oils from the skin getting on the cables.

I'm literally in the process of making my own. I got a 48v version and a big psu. And a 48v relay. Nice handle. I'll be stealing that. Mine heats up an m10 bolt I about 10 seconds. You I've got it so my psu is always on and then the relay applies the power to the circuit board when I press the button. The problem with leaving the circuit board constantly connected is in the few seconds it takes for the psu to fully turn on. The circuit kicks in, doesn't have enough power to start oscillating and pretty much makes a direct short and blows itself up. Just in case anyone is thinking of making their own.

Tons of useful information here. Would you have any insight into what it would take to heat brass bar? Less turns on the coil? Higher frequency? edit: I know you mention in the end it won't heat brass, but induction heaters are used to anneal brass bullet casings, and used to heat copper pipe for creating clean solder joints. I would guess by the use of eddy currents?

@Schematix 5 жыл бұрын

While you certainly can use induction to heat those metals. The induction gun I built in the video has little on brass/copper. I think it's just not powerful enough. The manufacturer claims the unit is rated for 1000w. However, I've only got it to draw around 300w. If I stuffed the coil to the point it's bursting with metal then perhaps I'd be closer to the claimed 1000w. So in summery, I think a more powerful induction heater would be required for metals like copper/brass.etc Perhaps a future video?

@rhiantaylor3446 5 жыл бұрын

@@Schematix I was looking at ads for these inverters and noticed that the more honest of the so-called 1000w units claim to be usable at 53volts. That tells me that it will only deliver ~1000w if you use a ~50v supply. It also suggests that at lower voltages you are unlikely to need a 20a capable supply - as your own measured 300w consumption confirms.

@Schematix 5 жыл бұрын

@@rhiantaylor3446 The induction heater I bought is rated for up to a max of 36v. So I think you'll be looking at a different model. I do feel that the power ratings are overinflated on most of these affordable induction heaters. And yes you probably could run a smaller SMPS. However, I prefer to run a 30amp SMPS @ 50% duty, rather than a 15amp SMPS @ 100% duty.

@jussapitka6041 5 жыл бұрын

The resistor is for limiting the current for the led. The voltage a LED needs is usually about 3 volts, and when run from 12 volts the current would be way too high and destroy the led. The resistor limits the current flowing through the led and at the same time drops the 9 volts so the the whole 12 volts in dropped in the circuit.

I think the other was the microwave transformer rewind or transformers in general too when I was thinking about rewinding the bug zapper transformer.

A water pump with a heat exchanger would a be cool (no pun intended) addition

I have a portable induction cooktop that I don't use anymore. Do you think I could re-purpose it to make an induction gun?

So basically you created an electrical short which heats up like a vehicles cigar lighter? A few years ago I rebuilt the suspension on my vintage truck, it took a week of torching, lubricating and using long cheater bar to break loose one big rusted 60 year old bolt on the panyard bar in freezing cold winter outside.

A cigar lighter heats up due to the coil resistance when 12vdc is applied, and it's coil is specifically made to withstand repeated heating. Induction heaters have no physical contact to the target material, and only heat up slightly. As seen in the video (17:50), the bolt reached nearly 800 deg F and the coil only 150 F.

I have an induction hob with a smashed glass top. could the parts from the hob be used to make a induction heat gun?

And here, we make an induction heater, using only a power supply, some 3d printed parts, and an induction heater.

excellent. I know fa about electricity. but I learned a lot watching this, so thanks. One question. You didn't want to go into the effects of having more coils in the copper tube, that's fine. But very briefly, do more coils make the induction stronger or weaker?

The more turns you have, the stronger the electro magnet, as I understand it.

Question: On your handle the square aluminium is exposed so what is the voltage across them and is there danger of electrocution ? I should of course preface that with "excuse my ignorance"
