Greetings from the Dakota Territories! The Backyard Scientist...

appreciate the vids

I sub to this guy because of that hop rod video wish more people did the same.

this is actually very interesting! nice :D

Nice

Very interesting setup.

I have read though your website, but I was left a bit unclear on exactly what findings did you come to in terms of improving the maximum temperature reachable for a steel bar. I can see videos on youtube using much bigger units to achieve forge welding temperatures - what exactly is it that lets these machines do that?

As an aside, goodness me, the world really is a small place. Looking at the other comments here I realised you were the hop rod guy - I have been an albeit irregular viewer for at least a year or two by now. Saw the backyard scientist video when it came out but did not connect the dots.

Allo - quick question, for someone wanting to get into blacksmithing, is an induction forge viable, and if so is there a non-expensive option that doesn't involve endless faffing about? I have all the other tools I need except a forge, and while I'd prefer induction to gas, it seems questionably sane. I can do basic electronics, but trying to find very specific components during the current supplier mess, sounds like an expensive form of hell! Thanks for your time and advice.

I'd go with the gas forge, or, better yet, a coal forge. An induction forge for general blacksmithing (about 7 KW output, or more) is going to cost at least USD$1000 and probably a few hundred more by the time you get a proper water cooler. Also, the induction forge needs pretty specific work coils for each job and odd shaped workpieces create special needs and even coil changes as the part progresses in shape..

I am attempting to make a brass case annealer and have a couple of questions. In this video the brass case is heated too rapidly. If you reduced the input voltage to the ZVS, would the time to reach 1000F increase?. I've seen a heating curve that shows the proper heating rate to anneal brass cases as 3 seconds to reach 1000F and then cooling. Second, Can the coil dimensions impact the this heating time also? Most brass case annealers use a 1/8 coil 10 wraps ~ 1 1/2" ID coil.

Yes, a lower supply voltage would slow the heating down.

@@edhyde1741 That ought to work okay as far as the induction heater is concerned, but that means that you are heating a longer portion of the case. I thought that all you want to anneal is the neck. That's why I used multilayer/multiturn coils in my demonstration. ----Too get SHORTER heat.
