[HowlingWizard]

induction heating coil

[HowlingWizard]

looks like industion coil in middle with air coiling rings above and below.

[PhraSEOlogy]

C O N G R A T S!

HowlingWizard its an electromagnetic induction heating coil!

WELL DONE!

[PhraSEOlogy]

Parts are heated using high frequency electricity that creates a magnetic field that heats conductive material inside the coil. This coil is water cooled.

Well done HowlingWizard.

It's your turn next week.

[SlyOldDog]

Still looks like a lamp holder to me :)

[PhraSEOlogy]

Sly,

If you are good at crafts I am sure you could make a very interesting lamp holder out of it. Quite a conversation piece.

Have you seen my electromagnetic induction heating coil lamp holder?

[tbear]

I'm back.........LOL
From the start I was searching 'induction heaters' looking to find out what gizmo was :(
Under my nose all the time.
Well done HowlingWizard!
