[clivehorridge]

I'm sure i've seen a similar tool for boiling a mug of water a whole lot cheaper than that

Surely stuck we find the stuck bolts while doing the kind of work we do at home and while i don't know sod all about electrics that thing is 1000w so why wont this do the same ?

Errrrrm, I think the genuine article uses Electro-magnetic Induction to heat the bolt/nut, it doesn't get hot itself.

In the video you see smoke from the rusty nut & shaft, not from the element.

It would probably stop your Pacemaker .

It's effectively a mini induction furnace. Just without the refractory pot to hold the metal in. It doesn't heat the metal from the outside; it excites the electrons (atoms) within the metal so that they vibrate and self heat.

Sort of thing.

Its basically like a microwave for metal.

Yes. Only no microwave.

I see ..... so its like a blow torch .... but not as good

Thanks for taking the time to explain though makes me want to pull the video recorder out of the attic to see if it really can be set to record stuff thats on tv when your home

Can't wait to see you getting those bolts of that rust old petrol tank Shayne.

2 miles away should be safe enough I'd think.

BTW video recorders only work when you're out. It's well known that a watched VCR never records. I used to record stuff so I could play it when I wasn't in.

Stick it on with a g clamp, then use a plug in timer switch, plug it in and go to the pub, if no explosion after timer activates, return and undo!

Same as dinner in a timer oven then?
