Induction Cookers

I saw that discussion over in the Fox hole. Back when I actually worked for a liveing we used induction heaters for warming up bearings...worked like a charm. Let us know how it works for ya
 
I ended up buying One for my Cruiser but it's an excellent option for an Angler as well. It has a 9 7/16" square cooktop. It is lightweight and lightening fast. A saucepan of cold tap water starts heating instantaneously and boils in 10-12 minutes while the surface itself stays cool. I see it as a stand-alone burner that lets the Wallas focus on heating. I'm trying to imagine how it might be "drawer mounted" like a breadboard, for slide-out deployment. Under $80.00 on Ebay including fast-shipping from China.

good deal, I like that it is "self-protected form being destroy by thundering" .. that should work good fer ya

What has become of this website ??? It is completely infested by IDIOTS ???

Hey c'mon. He is quoting the advertiser on eBay for crying out loud. B~C might be an idiot but he's a damn humorous one.
 
aw, and a happy holidays to you too....there's nothing like the winter snappy season............sheesh dude, I'm thinking that stove might be a neat item, I just thought that advertisement was rather funny

If you follow your convoluted link to the stove you end up on this page. In the product description is the line B~C cited along with a few other hilariously mangled Chinese to English translations. He was being funny. Joking. Joshing. It's what he does. No provocation included nor intended. None whatsoever.

I am far from an expert on human nature, but I have learned that the best way to deal with an idiot, perceived or otherwise, is to ignore rather than join. Had you ignored the truly idiotic B~C, the rest of us who actually got the joke would have had a much more pleasant evening.

Now what say we have us a group hug and let me delete evetything from the first mention of idiot through this post? That way we will not lose the value of this discussion.
 
that piece was off the add on e-bay that you linked to. My mistake, I assumed that you had read and where familiar with the ad
 
Well, I thought it was funny. :xlol

Of course, I also like the bumper sticker that I saw on a woman's car: "All men are idiots, and I married their King!"

No, it wasn't Joan's car.

B-C may be crazy, but he's no idiot. Reading Chinese directions is always good for a laugh. :mrgreen: I LIKE a good laugh in the morning. Now, where did I put that Lenny Bruce quote book? :twisted:
 
Years ago I worked for and electrical contractor Foley Electric that supplied support for a mechanical contractor T & B Mechanical on powerhouses. A big part of my job was to do stress relief on high pressure steam line welds on power houses. We were much of the time working with 30" and larger pipes with 1" and more wall thickness. The pipe had to be raised to above 1200 degrees slowly and then slowly cooled down. We used two different techniques to accomplish this. One was thermal resistive pads and the other was induction. The induction technique involved winding #2 solid wire around the pipe on either side of the weld. the number of wraps was determined by the size of the pipe. A 30" pipe took about 10 wraps. The wraps were wound in opposing directions so the magnetic fields opposed one another creating heat. It was unbelievable how quickly the induction system could raise the temperature of the pipe to 1200 degrees compared to the resistive system. The inductive system as I recall was powered by a 400 cycle power supply. The down side to it was it cooled down so quickly when the power was turned down it was hard to control. We used asbestos pads to contain the heat. With all the talk about Chinese lead paint today it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't still use asbestos in China.

How many amps does this thing draw?

My 1000 watt gennie doesn't sweat it.

One of the ones Red Fox has on his website draws a max of 2000 watts, which at 120 volts would be drawing 16.7 amps. Amps on the 220 circuit would be ~8.4, of course.

Also, it operated on 120 or 220 and, (from the look of the digital read-out), would operate on voltages in between and maybe even more, probably so it could be used world wide, where so many different standards exist.

Apparently, there are different models and makes, some of which draw less.

Anyone wanting to understand how am induction cooker works can find a good explanation in Wikipedia.

If I had a pacemaker, I don't think I'd lean over the cook top too close!
