Hey Doug, Nice little unit, it would be great for making jewelry or other small castings, ingots of gold, etc.. Recently, I made a comment on Uncle Doug's KZread channel, he does vintage tube amps, and, in his reply asked if it was true that I was not a subscriber, when I have been a sub for 8 or 9 years, I get all his notifications, so, there is something wrong with KZread and there information. Still getting all your posts and videos in my subscriptions. You make really good videos and narratives on whatever subject you happen to feature. Thank you for your time and effort making them. Happy Summer, best, C.

Thanks for your reply! Is there a difference when I am just hanging the metal piece in the coil and not in a graphite crucible why it not melting?? I place some fire blanket around some aluminum bronze (My kit did not come with graphite crucible or ceramic crucible) and I cant get it past red hot I know its working on 220v because the amps go up to 50amp when I hang a big piece of steel in the coils but when the metal gets hot the amps go down but when I stick the steel in some fire wool it wont go higher than 14amp Please help I don't know what I am doing wrong!!

Nice video. I wonder if using a radiator and reservoir, like computer cooling does, could improve the coil cooling. Maybe it would allow building bigger and more powerfull induction furnace...

Hi @eletronicsNmore. Very good job! Like a beginner in the electronic world, I just didn't understood why are you using a power source and a variac at same time if your power source is bivolt. I need a variac to run the system? Thanks

@electronicsNmore

3 жыл бұрын

The power supply output varies with input voltage. At 120v the output is low, and 240v the power output is very high, so I did some tests and found that 135-140V was ideal.

Awesome review of this! I was always curious about it. What maximum temperature do you think it can reach in the crucible?

@@electronicsNmore Yeah, that’s great to know. Are you still running it with a variac or do you just use wall 120V or have you stepped it up to the full 220V? If you have taken it to 220V, I am confused with what cables and plugs to use. The only available outlet that is 220V in my house is my dryer outlet, but that has four prongs. I just don’t want to wire it up wrong or get a plug that has the wrong configuration. I just hope 120V is good enough. Sorry for all the questions and I deeply appreciate any help

I see no benefit to this system as is, one could continually add ice cubes to the pan though, the pouring is the issue, we want a good smooth bar, pouring does not achieve this any better than a standard kiln / furnace, however if one could modify this for a direct silver shot / crystal in a mold within the heat source, I believe this would be the better way.

old school here as well - prefer your commentary over any music. how about casting a bracelet or something useful -everyone copy cats melting useless copper ingots then polishing em up -big deal. i have exact same model ZVS melter you have -had it for a year, still sitting in the box waiting for a brainstorm use. Read the crucibles burn up after a few uses so wondering how practical these are. even if not very practical, they seem to be very cool and very fast & quiet melters of high temp silver, brass, bronze, copper alloys and gold. Alternatives are noisy crucible furnace, or torch melting but torches will only melt a couple of ounces while these can melt a pound of metal fairly quickly. Big shout out to your channel -your videos are all great!
