I just realized I hit 5 MILLION subscribers when this video was uploading!! Ill have to think of an epic to celebrate :D thank you all so much!
Also ive been doing a new podcast with William Osman, Peter Sripol, Nile red, and Allen Pan! Were posting a new episode today, check it out :) - czcams.com/channels/7QE72cxiBkiwnvGoFfqYOg.html
Great job on hitting 5 million subscribers Kevin 😊
PagMan congrats!
Yes YES IT DOES give off ultraviolet light
You should make X-ray goggles. I was at the dentist and had to get some x-rays done and I was thinking about how the machine they used almost looked like a scope for looking through. Then I thought so what if you got two of them and made goggles that can take a x-ray scan of an object and then display it on a screen in-front of your eyes. Of course I am not sure about any of the logic behind any of this but I thought if anyone could make it happen it would be you. Hope you see this and maybe see if its logically possible to do. Thank you for the Awesome videos!

This is what happens when Florida man gets an education. I'm not even sure if I'm complaining or complimenting.
That metal bar heatup at 2:10 caught me off guard. I wonder if blacksmiths would be interested in something like this as an alternative to a flame.
A lot of knife makers use induction heaters for knives since they don't need large furnaces to heat up the (relatively) smaller pieces of metal they work with. Gas operated heaters and torches also need to be refueled eventually so it is a bit more economic in the long run.
@@nacnudsnevets981 To add to this - it's a lot more accurate in terms of temperature and repeatability. I work for a very large manufacturing company and you can heat treat accurately and consistently with a small induction heater. If you shape the coils you can also consistently get a variety of hardnesses on the same part (strong flexible tang and a very hard knife edge).
I've thought about finding ways to cast steel but every furnace I found ended up being ungodly expensive. Maybe this would be good to have. The problem is where to find one 😂
Blacksmiths use induction heaters for ages.
The term is induction forge. It is a little too specialized to fully replace fire, but is still useful. It has been a thing for a while.

Kevin is the definition of Florida Man
Yes magnesium does give off uv! The white light itself can already blind you because it's so bright, but it produces a fair amount of UV light too, so definitely wear eye protection when handling burning magnesium 😶
Welcome to Florida, where safety is our last priority.
@@kiraivoxy Safety is on the priority list?! 😲

Magnesium actually does give off UV light, so it's very important to protect your eyes when you're working with it
"I wonder if someone in the comment knows..." time for comment check
thank you friend, you're a friend
And a second thanks from me too
The uv light is my last concern. how about the oscilating magnetic field?
Small amount of UV does not harm much
@@shrujanamsyama9940 yea, but it still IS ionizing radiation, which any levels are worse than none :)
Another pro tip from Kevin:
Always make sure the front that faces your induction heating coil is made out of wood.
Yeah, should have used plastic
@Koroku Miuri well not anymore
@Koroku Miuri it aint anymore
looks like pressure treated wood as well...yum
Thats to prevent the fans from pulling in heated air into the PC board. I ordered a pre-built one and the video i watched said to do this. Of course it wont be complete. Ill also need to build the water coolant system and find a way to power it. I was thinking with a bunch of 20 amp laptop batteries, and wire the circuit so you can switch breakers on and off to add volts. My bench power supply aint gonna power this monster. You can actually make a heater for your home by just spinning a magnet near a copper coil, and hookup the coil to a radiator with a fan. Directly convert kinetic energy to heat energy on the fly, and its even more efficient than resistance wire.
I never thought of growing transistor seeds into IGBT's. Excellent!
Thank you for this wonderful demonstration
You realize, of course, that you haven’t *started* to experiment with this device, right?
There is **SO MUCH POTENTIAL** for more responsibly irresponsible “experiments,” or, as I prefer to call them, “science shenanigans!”
My first idea? Revisit your “super alloy” experiment! Imagine recombining those 19 elements in the same crucible, subjected to the influence of THIS magnificent machine!
Of course there are many other ideas, but that is my favorite so far.
Yes
"It's also basically impossible to put out a magnesium fire."

@@THESLlCK I'm a firefighter. It takes copius amounts of water. But, any more than just a little bit of magnesium can be very dangerous due to reactivity and the superheating of the water.

It is, but you are somewhat shape limited.

@@FROST_HUGGER which one lol?
@@Thorhian all of em
You know, I completely missed that. You say "Florida man," and it all falls into place.
molten steel doesn't explode when it hits water due to the lidenfrost effect. the effect you are thinking of is that water explodes entering molten steel because of the flash boil acting like a gunpowder charge. it's a big problem at steel mills, and throwing a water bottle in the pot is like throwing a live grenade in. I'm not sure but there might even be some disassociation of the water adding H and O to the "fun"
also, the mag probably stuck because it fusion welded to the steel
Yeah!
That was really cool when he dropped it in the pool. I never expected it to glow for that long, when it got under water. But the leidenfrost effect was indeed creating a layer of steam around the molten steel, preventing the water to get much contact with it and cool it down quickly.
This guy steels

Thankfully, a magnesium fire is only such as long as it burns magnesium, even if you drop it in the middle of a forest the only thing you need to do to prevent a wildfire is to control the regular plant matter fires it ignites until it burns out.
That's pretty awesome Kevin! You should try building a solid-state Tesla coil with that mammoth inverter. You could probably get larger sparks from that circuit than you did from your vacuum-tube coil!

So interestingly enough, when magnesium combusts in open air it does so with such absolute power that it emits enough UV light to be effectively used as an anti bacterial agent. I wouldn't recommend it though haha
This is great information! Science!
I wonder if pure oxygen would make it burn even brighter?
@@1978garfield Believe it or not, when magnesium burns it actually does so with such destruction that it even rips the oxygen off of water vapor in the air! That only adds to the brightness of the reaction.

You should revisit this, but make it so you can continuously add feed stock and have it flow out the bottom. Maybe make it in a way you can dump in cans and have it drip into an ingot mold.
At School we use little pieces of Blue Glass to look through when heating magnesium. It can damage your eyesight, so don't look at directly without eye protection.
He doesn't use protection, because he heard that his parents didn't wear any either and that's how he was born. /s
magnesium does indeed produce UV light when it burns, and looking at it can cause permanent retina damage

Harbor freight might not make the best tools but they provide the most value. It would be interesting to see an analysis comparing something like a snap on a life span and cost to comparable harbor freight products. Harbor freight might actually win.
A wise mechanic said to buy cheap tools and then replace them with good tools if/when they break. This is the quickest and cheapest way to figure out what tools need to be good and what tools can be very cheap.
It also comes down to how often you use the tool. A homeowner might be completely fine with a 10 dollar claw hammer whereas a finish carpenter should probably spend a few dollars more because his livelihood and comfort depend on using something that gets the job done quickly and consistently.
6:45
Dense cloud powdered magnesium jet deflagration was studied using a linear test combustor. Magnesium is a highly flammable metal that produces copious ultraviolet and visible light emissions during combustion
8:00 when you're trying to get it to explode, it doesn't work because there's not enough of steel and too much water. It's actually the water that explodes, not the steel. But to do that you need the water to become trapped by the steel to build up enough pressure.
I used to work at a steel mill. In order to do maintenance on the crucibles, we'd pour out the leftover steel and slag in a smaller crucible which would be then emptied outside. One time it had been raining all day and I forgot to check whether there was water in the smaller crucible and dumped liquid steel there, the explosion shattered most of the windows in the hall....

You can see the moltan magnesium trying to light on fire.
This seems like something that would really be of interest to a blacksmith!
That's exactly what I was thinking, seems like if you could stretch out the induction coil to 6" or so and lower the power so that you're not accidentally melting your workpieces you'd have an excellent 'furnace' for knives and other small-medium projects
They're way ahead of you, some bladesmiths use these, and they've been used in industrial foundries and blade making factories for quiet a while.

congratulations! BTW, you can put out a magnesium fire with sand. All molten metal fires can be put out with Class D extinguishers, but as a general rule, have a bag of sand/kitty litter (dry) when working with this stuff. Water, Carbon Dioxide, Halogenated extinguishers = disaster. :)

Yeah, I'm unsubscribing. He's just too cavalier and reckless. I can't support that. It's really too bad. It would take so little effort for him to be safe.
This stuff isn't that dangerous! I played w/ high voltage and molten metal and explosives and projectiles when I was a bored kid, still in grade school.. forget the age that is, but I'm sure by 10 I was well in to this stuff. I'd be willing to bet every kid who grows up in the country where there's room to play and not a lot to do has done the same. Florida man here just found a way to step up the silly projects as an adult and make some money off it. Standing next to a road or driving a car is more dangerous than these projects.
