Looks Like OU Senior Member Avalon Has DONE IT! New Video!

Well that's half of the AC sine MH,and half of the cycle.

No, it's a generic statement and what half of the AC sine wave you are on has nothing to do with it.

That's what I thought. However, the house meter does not register the load.
Regardless, I think that you are right. I do not know how to explain it [yet], but my years of experience tell me that it has to be from the grid.

As i am unfamiliar with your house meter,it is hard to make any comment on this.
I can tell you that when i used my old arc welder out on the farm-where the house meter was the old wheel type,the meter use to spin backwards  . There is also a video on youtube from some one else that shows this happening. Im really not sure as to how or why this happened,but it did. This would seem to indicate that more power was flowing back into the grid than was being consumed by the arc welder(some call them stick welders). However- this new digital smart meter that is on the house i am in at the moment !dose! read the power being consumed by the arc welder,and dose not start !reversing! like the old wheel meter did.

Perhaps the old meter also measured the reactive power being sent back to the grid?,and in that case,it would !seem! that there was more power flowing back into the grid than was being consumed. That being the case,you have to also wonder as to where the energy was coming from to melt the steel of the welding rod and two pieces of metal being welded together?.

There is one other interesting effect when using an arc welder,and i will make a video of that as soon as i can,and post it here-->and i have not seen anyone else show this effect.

You have one, what a pile of 27-28 pp3 batteries in a circle?

You could do it with standing waves the returning wave is amplified with no ground wire (no nasty stuff ) !

Yes, and in permanent magnets.

Brads question was is it electrons in motion that produces the magnetic field of a magnet.

Could you elaborate on that?

And in permanent magnets the source of the magnetic field is electrons in motion.

That's a "shocker" question for you to pose at this point in time and one can assume that it's raising some eyebrows.

No MH,not a shocker question.
It was asked because i needed a reference point for this statement by you. In time you will see why.
