induction heater levitation melting aluminum

[davolfman]

So, the coil inducts an eddy current into the aluminum which then creates it's own magnetic field that has the same polarity as the magnetic field of the coil at any given time (minus some phase shift from the eddy current being the the time-derivative of the other waveform but close enough) so it repels the coils magnetic field.  Then on the other side the metal heats up because even though it's aluminum you are putting a batshit-crazy amount of current through it. Did I get my physics right?

[GCTeleVision]

You should release it into a pot of liquid nitrogen........

[TrmptPlyr530]

Definitely the most fascinating thing I've ever seen on youtube... Glad I found this by chance :-)

[SquatsOats]

Too bad! You shoud've filmed the part when the ball hits the ground! Good vid tho!

[legitimatemind]

Camera skills. Get some.

[Marlene38EE]

That was the single most fascinating thing I've seen in a while!! I've got to show this to hubby, he's going to love it!!

[stevenmorookian16]

How to you magnetize aluminum??

[highvoltagefeathers]

@stevenmorookian16 You don't. you induce currents, which create the magnetic field.

[DigGil1]

@stevenmorookian16 Actually aluminium develops eddy currents and so it repels magnetic fields. You should try letting a magnet fall through a long aluminium tube: it takes longer!

[stevenmorookian16]

@DigGil1 I did not know that, thanks!

[evdaa]

It's Iron man's heart!

[TheRaymondFactor]

So this is how Dark Soul Gems are made...

[luigiparisi1985]

you know, if you can insert a sphere of pure graphite in an iron shell, make it heat at over 3000 °C then make it fall into a rapidly decreasing temperature (cold water) the iron will tremendously compress the graphite pill inside of it in the process then create small diamonds out of the graphite (see james hannay). well, i think that the levitation inductor seems pretty good for this kind of experiments....

[shinigamisama069]

What? Aluminum is evolving!

...

Congratulations! Your Aluminum evolved into a pool of molten shit.

[gaz470]

Cool :)

[Zoidberg227]

Next, on "How It's Made:" Aluminum foil!

[3m0skatiish]

Thats so cool tbf..

[thalesofthewell]

If only the blacksmiths knew that!

[wrathlos]

Thunder bolt!

[MetalGear753]

How the hell did I get here? I don't even remember what I originally came on YouTube for...

[MrKarlAschnikov]

contains 1000x the power of dividing by zero

[aR3DF0Xa]

"congratulations sir youve just made a new element"

[iFreNZyTM]

If you touch it, you get cancer

[hollfastin]

don't ever put you're u no what inside that thing

[CertifiedBad4ss]

One of the coolest things ive seen on youtube, and that says a lot.

[MutantNinjaFly]

ITS GOING SUPER SAYAIN!!!!

[laharl69cirno]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAX!

[PRODVDi]

But why is it purple?

[imsmoother]

I also wrote an app for the iPhone, Thermal Light, to measure the temperature of the metal from 1000F-2700F!

[Farnoreth]

This seems like an awful large amount of work for a tiny bit of homemade foil...

[MrDrfallout]

hey look a mini sun! (ignore me im just bored)

[LeLutinBanni]

WHEN I WAS YOUNG...KIDS WAS PLAYING OUTSIDE !!!

[muthafuckindevilsson]

@LeLutinBanni

And it was super fun!

[SnowRocker88]

Drop it into a bucket of water next time and see if you can make an aluminum droplet

[Tepadj]

Magic, it has to be :o

[david1991rules4life]

Imagine a giant induction super powerful doorway, where the coils are in gaps you don't notice in teh walls (nothing in front to melt) and some sort of super material you walk on the bottom that doesn't heat p or melt, and as soon as they walk through it they get like 3rd degree burns extrenally and internally, excites all molecules in their body, even their eyeballs :O omfg! lololol

[nagromgreen]

Thats what I call... Drop forged!

[dabooge]

@nagromgreen then you'd be wrong.....

[justasic]

auto-focussss!



[suddenpee]

Love the colour glow of purple and hot pink

[tankist300]

splat!

[RIPPER95D]

After it fell down on the floor it looked like a teddy bear !

[klj2503]

like a metal chikken crapping an egg :-D

[MrSharpness10]

It became white

[XTwisternickX]

STAND BACK EVERYONE! theres science in this shit

[killer2611]

ok, WHAT THE FUCK?!?! how the fuck is it floating?

i assume he made a little force field thingy with a few magnets repelling each other xD

that is amazing

[h4xor1701]

coooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!­!!!!!!

[mast3rm00se]

And that's how you make a 2.5 kilowatt light bulb!

[chuchinis16]

OMFG HOW DID YOU CAPTURE A DITTO!?!?!?!? 1:47

[kimooZ06]

what is an induction heat?

[rich1051414]

@kimooZ06 induction isnt 'heat', it isnt hot at all. What happens is it creates a magnetic field and reverses the poles over and over so fast that it causes the magnetic material to heat up from it pushing and pulling against itself so heavily and so fast, and it also explains its levitation.

[kimooZ06]

@rich1051414

thanks man.. i got it :)

[ccyhd]

@rich1051414 Aluminium isn't magnetic. It's not even ferrous. Eddy currents are being induced in the aluminium, the motion of these electrons in the eddy currents is what heats up the aluminium. Fuckwit

[rich1051414]

@ccyhd the eddy's current electrifies the alumunim, which is a good conductor, and accounts for it now being electromagnetically affected. My answer was a very basic explanation for a layman, but everything i said is sound, without confusing who i was talking to. Eddy currents are created when a conductor experiences changes in the magnetic field. It creates repulsive, attractive, propulsion, and drag effects.

[rich1051414]

@ccyhd 'the eddy's current electrifies the alumunim, which is a good conductor, and accounts for it now being electromagnetically affected.' 'Aluminium isn't magnetic at all. Rather the electrons inside the aluminium (which is a conductor, as it's a metal) are moved back and forth by the switching magnetic field. This is called induction.' I never called aluminum magnetic, but rather electomagnetically affected. You said the exact same thing as i did.

[hellnawnaw]

@rich1051414 Thas is completely and utterly wrong. Aluminium isn't magnetic at all. Rather the electrons inside the aluminium (which is a conductor, as it's a metal) are moved back and forth by the switching magnetic field. This is called induction.

[ASDfasdfasdfful]

@rich1051414 does that mean it won't do anything if i put my finger in there???

[ElCkelly]

@ASDfasdfasdfful theres iron in your blood, but i dont know lol

[rich1051414]

@flopski Eddy currents are electric currents induced in conductors when a conductor is exposed to a changing magnetic field; due to relative motion of the field source and conductor or due to variations of the field with time. Although my description didnt include 'eddy currents' since i was trying to keep my description simple, it is implied...

[billeethesciencegeek]

@rich1051414 First of all the process of induction heating does not reverse the poles of the object. Also the levitation is caused by the aluminum being diamagnetic meaning that it will take the magnetic field and reflect it back on its source. what happens is that inside the coil the opposing magnetic forces of each winding causes what are called eddy currents which merely jiggle, or "excite", the atoms of the item in the field. This whole process does causes heat to build up in the object.

[QQQ555100]

чо за хрень



[xbuster17]

very amazing now plz do it again and film it hit the floor and again and let's see how it forms if dropped on water... please? that's nice how you make aluminum levitate just like that. ain't that crazy? all this stuff looks award winning inventions yet they are lying arround some indie videos...crazy world huh?

[nuthenry2]

iv would have drop it in to water and see what happen!

[Neverninja]

you can take the camera off the tripod ya know  just saying

[terodius]

great video and concept, but your camera skills suck...

[XxxGamer5641xxX]

OMG LOOKS LIEK TEH BLACK MESA INCIDENT lol

[randomsmartasian15]

nice...



[CriminalMacabre]

looks like hellraiser shit 0_0

[FelipeZucchetti]

amazing video mate...:D

[tyreza79]

wow whats with the purple color ::::

[Fledermen64]

@tyreza79 Most likely its the camera picking up IR emissions from the iron while the black-body radiation shifts up to visible light frequency's. Its like pointing a TV remote at a webcam, you can see the light though the webcam but not with the naked eye.

[RabbiAddosso]

Hey imsmoother, I wonder if your device works with graphite instead of metal inside the workcoil... I mean: can graphite be heated in this way?

[FiltyIncognito]

@RabbiAddosso From what I've read it needs to be a conductor as the heat is generated by electrical resistance as current flows through the workpiece. This might not be completely correct.

[RabbiAddosso]

@FiltyIncognito

Thanks! You're right that's true, but I know that graphite is also a conductor, although its conductivity is about 1000 times lower than an ordinary metal. Now the problem is that if the workpiece is a supercondutor-->no resistance-->no heat and if the workpiece isn't a conductor-->no electric flow-->no heat, so: is graphite conductive enough to be heated by an induction coil?

[jaws99099]

BAD ASS!

[JackLambert180]

IT FUCKING LOOKS LIKE HELL

[JackLambert180]

i dont think the aluminum likes it ?

[Zalamedas]

what if you put a water bucket under the drop point? I think it would get a really nice shape

[bighairyninja]

Now that's a bloody cool lightbulb :)

[TheToastPeople]

great fuckup with the filming of the drop lol

[patrick258181]

I want to see Chris Angel do that!!!!!

[manunggal]

its very cool. never seen something like it before. my question is, can you melt other metal like lead, copper or steel?

thanks.

[thedoctorct46]

compliment I could have a circuit diagram with all components marked (with their real name) please if you can with things marked in Italian

[Dexxxter7780]

Are the coils like braided or something? How does it levitate?

[militantmindset]

nice work i have always been to scared of the circuit to every build one =)

[Danielm1997]

looks fake



[acdcdave1387]

Are you a wizard...?

[kiidkillaz]

@acdcdave1387 of course he's not a wizard..... i'm pretty sure he brushed past chuck norris's shoulder though...

[DJMikaelito]

Will it blend ?

[bounceeer]

i thought world will explode after that piece of ultrahotness falls.. :( dissapointed

[presbarkeep]

How does it levitate? I thought aluminum wasn't magnetic? Or are the magnetic fields so great that anything will levitate in there?

[planetrob555]

Please...next time you move the camera, re-focus! Also, yes, this is very cool!

[Elastane]

that's rather cool ☺

[elliottskl]

hmmmmmm......... but does it blend????

[phillippepe]

Well i dont know... AHHHH!!!!!

[enomis9393]

That violet color... i bet that alluminum makes a lot of UV rays when heated right? better wear some soldering goggles

[xankrigor]

Hmmm I've been wondering how this works. Please explain to me on how the process is done so I'm able to go through my day without wondering please. >.<

[SteelerEagleFan]

What the aluminum is thinking: ow. ow. Ow. OW. OWW. OWWWW. OOOWWWW. HOOOOOLLLLYYYY SHHHIIIIIITTTTT!!!!!

[meetsouder]

so iron turns yellow, copper turns bright red and aluminium truns purple when melted... cooooooll!

[tomcatdcn]

@meetsouder it's the camera's "perspective" of infrared rays

[SZS0001]

Hadouken !!

[orangegold1]

It is because aluminum becomes a super conductor under that amount of induction... Super conductive metals have the unique composition of diamagnetism.. So both sides somewhat share a pole and they repel in every direction!! You can make levitating metal at home without using induction or anything just using a diamagnetic material (such as catalytic carbon?) over a magnet! :) enjoy!

[leandeganis]

unbelievable :O

[boxa888]

@SuperVerdone if you get a pulse going within the aluminum you get it to become magnetic. its like when you drop a magnet down a copper tube, its not magnetic till the magnetic field is moving slowing the magnet. he is using a control circuit which turns off and on to keep the aluminum levitated. doesnt this remind people of the ufo crash in the desert!!! i know it sounds funny but this really helps understand that ufo crash video lol

[MegaMetalhead55]

how does an induction heater work?



[dannyman4444]

wat. DUDE WAT

[darcynshit]

umm just a question, why is it purple, i didnt know aluminium has a purple emission spectra, but this is alot of energy here.

[ConnorXV]

@darcynshit Infra-red can affect the colour of things through a camera, UV rays aswell, so the colour may be a bit off compared to our eyes.

[TheWTFsauce]

yes but Will it Blend?

[onthecuttingedge2005]

I can't seem to get a price listing for the 224PPA302KS caps, how much do they cost each?

[Tommo020788]

Being an extremely dangerous project to work on, You really really need to add a disclaimer to this video, and especially to your website.

If some school kid without proper knowledge of electronics takes a look at this film, thinks "Hey thats cool! I'll make one my self for a sience experiment!", then to replicate this using your schematics, and kills themselves, you'll have a lawsuit on your hands.

Cool vid, just be responsible, and note the dangers, and put up a disclaimer to cover yourself.

[venomx2]

why is it purple?

[op3l]

Huh... I would of thought when it fell and splattered on the ground, it would stick to the concrete.

[Version2Films]

Ok soo... At what point does stuff start traveling through time?

[sircoolgandalf]

this is a great device.

I will pour out al metal rings. I need a furnace.

can you send me a wiring diagram.

or a description as I can reconstruct the device.

so I can build me a small furnace.

that would be very nice.

thank you

ralph

[brantcobb]

suspend melt it, then flash freeze it

[TKTRiseAgainst]

That's... really fuckin hot

[glitchTF]

Dude created a sun :P

[usd25674]

Really cool.

I thought once the aluminum obtained molten state the magnetic field would lose levitation effect, was wrong on that one.

Very nice video, thanks for posting.

[justmekkb]

Now that IS COOL!!! Now I'm interested to learn more!

[MrGmanFreeman]

I WANNA TOUCH IT!!!!!

[zango010]

Way to miss the money shot of that molten ball hitting the floor...

[lebensraummetal]

combine molten slug with rail accelerator and BAM. instant tank-killer.

[Casowsky]

@lebensraummetal Molten metal projectiles exist - they are employed in 'shaped charges'

[jemohseni]

this is what all those ufo sightings are. they say we got aluminum from aliens.

[1001001mike]

Neat

[jgarland79]

Can you make another video and drop the molten metal into a bucket of water?

[gtacrusher123]

one question can i put my finger in it !!!

[arifbustani]

very cool.

[wyrrox]

@idcriativo Because it didn't contact pure oxygen, it contacted air which has other gases.

[112233gy]

wow :)



[barchelonaman]

at thge very end thts cool nice lighting ball so thats what they thro in the movies..

[barchelonaman]

thts a quite strong magnetic field u got there... i wonder if it can make airplanes float??

[maxinpains]

can you melt gold & levitate? thanks

[barchelonaman]

@maxinpains it is possible to melt gold cuz it melts easier than aluminum but levitant its gonna take him like abot 20 mins to do that...

[bud389]

So you know how to create induction heaters in your garage but you don't know how to adjust the focus on a camera?

[AZNTHEORY]

yes th piggy did cry we we home

[mmaaxx1198]

cool

[thekillerhjkhjk]

i wanted to see it actually hit the ground :C

[iHeartElectricalEng]

that last part doesn't look like the entire glob of aluminum... looks more like a little bit of foil...

[Tacocat21]

Close to a power cord.

[deepcut66]

Eddy currents baybee :)

[sickdeathshappen]

im viewer 6,666

[powermaks]

@sickdeathshappen owww man, that sucks...

[Sweemoo]

omygod i fucking love your videos.

[2013shila]

Why did it turn purple ._.

[iHeartElectricalEng]

@2013shila it turns purple because the camera is picking up infrared light.

[OraNgeyPoPSicleS]

so thats how you make aluminum foil. hehehe.

[mrFishball1992]

hi there... very cool work.. gotta give my hat to you :):) may i ask what you done to the inductor to let the alumium drop(audio abit screwed but hey its a cool vid :) )?? (turn up the power or turn down the power?? (had to ask :| )) thanks

[DrD0000M]

He's a witch!!! BURN HIM!!!

[jeetendrag10acc2]

@DrD0000M What do you mean sir,a european witch or an african witch?

[selske23]

@DrD0000M a newt?

[DoctorStuart1979]

I want one! Did you build it yourself?

[imsmoother]

@DoctorStuart1979 I designed and built it myself. You can read an entire tutorial on how to do it at the website I mention in the description.

[boxa888]

@imsmoother man this soo reminds me of the ufo crash video!!! look at that, you might be comming across some of the technology!! great work! building real ufo technology, lol... "Real Ufo Crash" is the video on youtube if you havent seen it! great work! this helps me understand what was going on on the ufos surface, so theoretically that craft is at a huge current.. how about turning down the induction over time, do you get a perfect metal ball??

[lstintxs]

What kind of a dent does that put in your electric bill?

pretty cool you are running it all from an everyday orange extention cord too.

[imsmoother]

@lstintxs This one I will address: the cord is powering the the driver circuitry. The high voltage for the inverter is coming from a 30A 10g line, connected to a 240vac line. As far as electricity, my home runs on solar and wind power so my electric bill is zero.

[VolkgartenBySquirrel]

@imsmoother Thanks for that! Well, I can guess what your roof looks like, but this is a way better use of power than the idiot boxes. *Inspired*

[ShootAllQueers]

@imsmoother do you live on a farm or something? or is it legal to make your home run on solarpower?

[RotogenRay]

@imsmoother

livin the dream, eh?

[diversereel]

@imsmoother damn dude, you built this and designed it, you have a solar and wind powered home... you must be smart as hell!!! What did you study?

[xilix]

@imsmoother Get the fuck out of here. You run completely independent of the grid? You have any idea how rare that is? I also heard you can actually get PAID if you end up generating enough to feed back into the grid, but I'm not sure how true that is. It just blows my mind that people really do run grid free. I would love that. What about night time and winter with short days?

[casawsome]

@lstintxs if he were paying for electricity and running it at 2.5kw for a hour it would cost only a mere 40p at the higher electricity rate at least for my house.

[SirTannen]

Instant fake birdpoo, use it on your neighbor's head/car.

[Sennatra]

THAT WAS COOL WHEN IT FELL AND SPLATED ON THA FLOOR
