From: David Roberson * That would ensure that the induced current within the coils was very close. If the induction heater operates at 60 hertz then you are going to have a very hard time getting enough current to flow inside the coils. This is because the resistance of the wires is far, far greater than what is observed within a metal pan. I don't think your plan will work unless RF is used for the source power.
Of course you will have to consider the direct heating of the fuel due to the changing magnetic field. Recall that one of the Russian companies that the MFMP guy visited is using induction heating that is only applied to the fuel plus without any other coils. Why not use the normal easy to measure systems? Dave The” normal easy way” is difficult for comparison of an active tube when side-by-side with a control. This suggestion is meant to be used in addition to water bath calorimetry – but a setup which is more sophisticated than what Parkhomov was using. BTW those hobs we are talking about use power ICs to convert the 60 hertz to something like 40 kHz. Do you see that as a problem? There is a certain logic to using side-by-side comparisons - which is completely absent from even the best calorimetry
