Review on ๐Ÿ”„ Secondary Cylindrical Demonstration Induction by QWORK by Rick Rogers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Entertaining and Educational

It's worth its $13. Works well, two coils with different turns and maximum current (the inner coil is made of thicker wire - smaller cross-section). Coils can work both together and individually, with or without an iron core. Not only are the opportunities for experimentation vast, potential experimentation draws you in and begins when you open an article. As other reviewers have pointed out, the manufacturer does not provide any instructions or specifications. You have to experiment with it to find out its limitations and possibilities. For such a cheap model, this is more of a feature than a flaw. Most likely an unintended feature, but a feature nonetheless. With regard to a more expensive item, one could legitimately complain that he was not told what actions might destroy the expensive item. In this case, only $13 is at stake. The other issue makes more sense for those who don't have the necessary equipment to safely test the limits (e.g. without starting a fire). For these individuals, I will provide my own conclusions as to the limits of safe operation, which I make without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. A larger diameter outer coil with smaller gauge wire can operate at 20 volts and draw 0.4 to 0.5 amps. A smaller diameter inner coil with larger gauge wire can operate from 4 volts and draws approximately 1.5 amps. In continuous operation, the temperature increases. Don't leave it unattended, and don't mind the temperature if it's too high to touch - just turn it off at that point. This might get you started, you'll have to experiment to see what it can do, which should be the most fun. If you like experimenting, you will have a lot of fun.

Pros
  • โœ”Package content: includes 1 primary coil, 1 secondary coil and 1 magnetic iron core.
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model
