DIY induction heater that can BOIL STEEL

The video tutorial covers the creation and testing of an induction heater. Initially, the heater was unable to achieve its goals, such as levitating and melting metal. The video explains the science behind induction heating and demonstrates the construction process using IGBTs and other components. Various experiments are conducted, including melting steel, aluminum, and magnesium, and attempting to levitate metal. The tutorial concludes with successful levitation and melting experiments, showcasing the heater's capabilities.

What was one of the main goals for the new induction heater project?

• To create a heater under $500

• To melt plastic

• To levitate and melt metal

• To cook a chicken using induction heating

What component is used in the induction heater to switch large amounts of power?

• Capacitors

• Diodes

• Resistors

• IGBTs

What was the result of the first test with the steel bar?

• The steel bar melted instantly

• The steel bar remained cold

• The steel bar heated up and almost melted

• The steel bar exploded

What unusual behavior was observed when melting aluminum?

• The aluminum turned blue

• The aluminum became magnetic

• The aluminum bounced when the heater was turned on and off

• The aluminum emitted a sweet smell

Why is magnesium difficult to extinguish once ignited?

• It absorbs water

• It is not actually flammable

• It burns at a low temperature

• It burns in air and is hard to put out

What was the creator's reaction to successfully levitating aluminum?

• They were indifferent

• They found it silly but cool

• They were disappointed

• They decided to stop the experiment

What did the creator reflect on at the end of the video?

• Their fear of circuits

• Their journey from fear to confidence in building the heater

• Their dislike for electrical projects

• Their plan to quit experimenting
