Firstly my thanks to Andrew who has put in the hard work making the board and making the code work. I'm basically just a film crew and beta tester at this point.
The heater is a Webasto Thermotop V using a 22ml pump.

Cutting and welding the front hubs to give more steering angle. Maybe one day me and @vPerformance will get to go out and drift again.

A 'brief' look at the board and operation. We'll go much more into building and code in subsequent videos.

It's not which is better, but which is better for given applications. Need to heat something big try a propane torch. Need to melt something try oxy-acetylene. Need to not set someone's car on fire or melt a wiring loom? Induction is for you.
While the tool can be expensive. It's ability to deliver very focused heat without burning the surrounding area makes it the ideal tool for heating seized nuts and bolts.

I've finally borrowed all the things to play with these fridges. The Dometic was fantastic on trips away. Nothing like cold chocolate.

I've got to take these giant ball bearings out of this huge bearing. Ideally without destroying the bearing in the process.
Using the plasma cutter I blew out the rivets, so you could put it back together if you wanted to.
This was fun, I enjoy taking things to bits.

I've finished messing about with waste oil for now. LE is doing much better on his channel, so I'll be following him closely.

It's hard to convey but I am really excited about how this project is progressing with the help from commenters. Especially to Andrew who designed this PCB but also to everyone else for support and suggestions.
Now we just need to dial it in.
