homemade coffee can heater

This is a heater i made entirely out of garbage. I made it just to see if it would actually work. Also it was the middle of winter and i was bored.

Can you explain me better : the DC current is passing through the wire producing heat and the fen is "cooling" the wire and transfering heat out of the can...am I right? And how do you running the fen? How much power do you use for making 600 W of heat ?

[kwacz]

@MrDanilo97 you are correct. that is all heat. the fan draws 2 watts. the rest goes to the heating element (copper coil of wire)

[gsxxxrk5]

can you create heat on a copper wire with a AA battery?

[kwacz]

@gsxxxrk5 yes, but it would be very thin wire and not very much heat as the wire would burn up easily. also heat is a result of power x # of watts being disapated across the wire. more power = more heat.

Make a small filter for the fan and you have clean air and heat. Well, that's what I'd do with it. That's irrelevant I suppose.... Great video and working concept!

@kwacz Can you give me an easy circuit map for me to download it im trying to build one, if you can Thank you.

im making a heater like this, except using like a 9 volt battery, would it work?

[alialam77]

can u plzz tell have you use any resistence or transister for coils



[LukeAndJema]

that don't look electronically isolated to me

[MrBabulgb]

@auntmeme902 no it is very hot

[MrBabulgb]

@kwacz IS THAT IS COPPER COIL OR STEEL

So you made a big hair dryer, congats

Where can I buy some of this coil?
