Why doesn't an induction heater and an induction ring launcher produce the same effect?
I want to know why an induction heater and an induction ring launcher don't produce the same effect. Both seem to use AC voltage to power a solenoid(which induces a voltage in a pipe) so why doesn't ...

Controlling a 12V solenoid with N-Channel mosfet
I use an N-channel mosfet to switch on or off a solenoid valve that uses DC 12V, 0.25A. This is the circuit I use.
Initially I used IRFZ44N and 1N4007, but they were too big for my application, so I ...
