Simple question. Can you use a high frequency plasma cutter for a power source for a induction heater. Both high frequency DC power supply but the plasma cutter box is pretty adjustable at least amperage wise

This is killing me! 🤦‍♀️ Your heart's in the right place, but you got to slow down. All you had to do to get the antenna out was take an 8mm socket and remove those two nuts holding the bracket that holds the antenna to the box. Slow and steady, it was observation you can usually find out what it takes to remove certain things properly. Never go full speed. Ive seen many mechanics come and go that were really fast at their repairs...... But their work always came back with problems. Because they used "brute force and ignorance" rather than slowing down and observing and using deductive reasoning. 🤷‍♀️ Trust me, nothing is built today or in the past that has to be disassembled via "smashing off parts with a hammer" Lol😄 I'm not trying to criticize you though man, there's a learning curve everywhere. My guess is you're used to working on printed circuit boards and newer technology rather than old analog equipment..... And that's okay. When I first started as an automotive repair technician, 99% of the work I was doing was on newer vehicles with fuel-injection and onboard electronic engine management systems. But it took a while for me to learn how to work on carbureted vehicles with points driven ignition, mechanical fuel pumps, etc. 🤷‍♀️ Even though it's older more simple technology, it's just not something you see or work on on a regular basis anymore. So I literally had to "backtrack learn" in order to diagnose and repair the older stuff. It doesn't make you any less talented, it's just the era we're living in and the stuff that we're used to working on on a regular basis. 😉💯

It would be really cool if you worked with your sponsor to have a kit that you include all of the relevant diode’s resistors and gates to make everything as well as the small amount of copper wire and every single piece of material that you used in a nutshell and a diagram of how to make it and you sold the kit For X number of dollars which included all of the materials and a small fee for you for putting together the instructions. People would buy the heck out of that. If you got a 3-D printer and printed something to in case it with some buttons, they would probably love it and buy that from you as a small induction coil. That’s how dreams are born. You could be someone who designed an inexpensive coil, but you need to get the power supply right so that it’s either portable or can plug-in with no issues And I think people would support you wholeheartedly. Good luck with everything great job on the video.Robert

Good video, although I can offer a few comments in the way of constructive criticism: - I am glad you caught you initial error about the unloaded 'cell' voltage. - The 1.5V cell in this meter just lifts out of its holder, no need to remove the screw. - In the video, when the meter was misbehaving, you did not appear to be adjusting the two front panel 'knobs', nor did you mention it. In the Ohms function, these two potentiometers are critical, and if they are a bit dirty inside this can result in some of what you were seeing. With ANY such old electronics, it is a good idea to cycle, and perhaps clean, operator function potentiometers so they will make reliable internal connections. Often, even moving them slightly can restore them to functionality. The same thing applies to the switches....they should be treated with De-Ox and cycled through their positions a few times before testing the device, and this can immediately remove many potential open connections. I suspect that this was more important in your VTVM than re-soldering the PCB (which was probably unnecessary). - A VTVM will NEVER be a "precision instrument", no matter how well it generally seems to function. Look up the specifications for these, and you will see that they are only specified to be within a few percent of full scale, which by today's standards is highly imprecise. Add to that the parallax issues when reading the meter, and you can see what I mean. - In your circuit description, for the dual diode tube, I think you missed a critical part of its functionality. Not only does it rectify the AC signal, but it also doubles it to make up for being a half wave rectifier. It is what's called a "Villard Doubler" circuit. Because of the voltage drops in this circuit, it is necessary to inject a small correction signal into the node at the output of that circuit, and you did briefly touch on this. Something else I think you missed, the output of the Villard Doubler is negative, and this is why the function switch that connects the meter movement between the two sides of the twin-triode 'bridge' circuit reverses the meter connections while in the AC Volts position. - The range switch resistors for the Ohms function are not configured as a voltage divider; they are just an adjustable series resistor.

Research Wire Loss! Voltage Drop!. Find a AWG wire chart on the interweb and figure out Voltage drop and what your doing to that radio with the small gauge wire. Then research what the amp draw is on that radio on transmit and put a fuse AT the battery.

The problem is Devil runs the world. He is liar and murderer. This is the reason why deception and violence are everywhere. This is the reason why liars and murderers feel good while righteous persons are persecuted. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our loved ones again! :-)

That is most likely a run capacitor. It's really better to replace with the proper value though.

So how do we know what kind of fuse to get? Mine is ancient, but I'd rather save it than discard it. Love your 'presentation' btw. Well it's not presentation, it's just the way you speak, and how you impart the information you intended to. Thanks for that.

Oh my...I think considering the value of a hundred bucks of my time I'd probably just get a new one. But if this guy could take it and fix it, I'd so ask him to! And pay whatever he needs to charge for it. Because why replace when you can fix, in general (tho, embarrassingly, I do lean that way) and, and in great measure because his skills seem to be his passion, and amazing too. From what they say - which would remain to be verified of course, no matter how cute he is lol.

I just did the same repair on a 2008 xB. At least on mine, the radio uses pins 8 and 9 to determine if a cable is plugged in. With nothing plugged in, there's some resistance between the two. With a cable in place, there's continuity. I wound up soldering the two pins together, so now I can switch to the aux input regardless of whether anything is plugged in, and the car doesn't intermittently switch off of that input.
