Hello
So i want to build a mini induction heater, liker really mini. Its for a tobacco vaporizer so it does not have to be hot at all. I know the basics of induction heating like the item to be heated must me magnetic or watever. (iron bar)
Ive seen many induction heaters with copper coils and water running through them and tons and tons of circuitry. Can anyone explain to me in the simplest of terms how these things work and how i can build a very simple small one.
I assumed i could get a transformer from a wall outlet and wire it up in step-up to a coil and it would work, but no.
Also, i dont understand this part. When you short out (touch negative and pos) together it makes sparks, not good right. Why does a coil not explode batteries and stuff if its just a long circular short out.
Thanks boiz
