Salutations,
A most friendly person recently reminded me that my old illustrations gradually vanished with a few on-line hosting resources, so i'm finally re-posting these Induction Vaporizer ideas some 13 years 8 months 24 days later.
1st this basic drawing done using nothing but MS-Paint:
It was about making the IH "susceptor" as simple as possible, in this case a flat metallic disc fitting inside an ordinary CD-ROM "jewell" box so to render it "stealthy":
There's actually 2 different sizes available, the full-height box being featured with side holes while the half-size one also got a trio of spring-loaded fingers defined by empty-space contours (not shown). It must have been this set of layouts which made me want to juxtapose a glass sheet on top of my susceptor disc in a way to align a trio of external holes with its side openings turned into fresh air inlets, then another trio to collect heated air at the center, i.e. where one could eventually attach a bowl most conveniently and yet retain the box stealthy attribute:
It was some fair start but i wanted more control so a flat valve system was created via the addition of another glass sheet, meant to rotate partially:
It was called a "shutter" and i began to wonder. What if there were no box? Instead resulting in some need to hold my glass sheets together using only flexible high-temperature silicone bracing:
At that point my LAVADisc ended up having a somewhat different shape:
And since i had moved away from my CD-ROM box format why not as well think of other susceptor shapes! Like tiny SS430 metal spheres lined up inside a trio of sealed glass tubes, to accommodate purists demanding an all-glass heat-exchanger...
In addition, i had thought of "hacking" a ready-made IH cooker for quite some time, by taking advantage of its internal connector linking the power board to its front control panel...
Yet that would have seemed like going from a relatively simple set of challenges to some plain electronics hobby, so there had to be an alternative and i happened to find one in the form of a commercially-available Curie-effect fry pan (where temperature was maintained inferior to 250 °C or 485 °F):
All i needed to complete it all was to add humidification of my "fumet" without compromizing aroma/taste appreciation. It's called the 'FogBong', cannabic vapour enters a sealed conduit except there's a tiny hole to let moisture, located at the bottom of a curved path...
This "injection" point can collect condensed water until a water droplet accumulates which closes its tiny hole and still prevent it from passing through, thanks to a suitable mix of surface tension and gravity. This is effectively blocking access to the "fog" between inhalations, control of such hole's apperture effectively decides how much moisture gets combined to my fumet, with the difference that instead of an ultra-sonic nebulizer there's a real opportunity to recycle pre-existing heat to create steam, possibly even cooled by entering a large cavity, e.g. on-demand...
So that's it for today folks!
Perhaps i could have waited for Halloween next month, and/or risk being too busy to do anything about it.
Good day, have fun!!
