Homemade induction heater is a win!

Managed this rig up a homemade induction heater from a 10$ board off amazon +7$ cigarette plug terminal cable

Induction heater is for my dynavap, the commercial ones are quite expensive and I figured it would be a cheap and easy project to make one up

I made a quick YouTube video showing the IH off :)

  • How powerful is the board? i've always wanted to melt metal with an induction coil.

    • The board is rated for up to 12v10a so 120 watts. Its able to heat up the dynavap to combusting temps in about 10 seconds so I wouldn't doubt its able to melt thin wire in short order. For my purposes it's actually almost too powerful so either need to lower the turns in coil or add a potentiometer on to the circuit

    • Works on small things like a small nail but larger things just get really damn hot
