Just found this from a few years back

Above Gives basic university setup for testing.
Also,
I am uncertain who shared this link below ( maybe Lanca ?)


It is room temperature..however?

You just need some Nickel 🙃

Hi All,

With the plasma arc being tricky to keep it running at a constant, I desided to go high tech.

This is a micro controller job to do the hard stuff.

How it works:

When starting the plasma arc reactor, the controller moves downward the carbon rod using a stepper motor. When the controller sense a amp load using a shunt, it starts to adjust the amps by moving the rods upward or downwards depending on what amp load is set too.

In other words,a self running plasma system until the carbon rod is evaporated.

With a few safety switches to shut down the plasma unit when the carbon rod is gone is a added plus.

You created a PID loop, having the desirable current as a setpoint. Nice.
