Amazing welding machine !

[nightlife]

Run three car batteries in a series and you can use them to arc weld with.

Would it really be only an aluminium block with 2 connectors on it and a handle ?

So does it only work as a passive resistor ?

Here is still a page with a few photos:

and here on the about page
http://www.welding-invention.125mb.com.2net.us/about.html

they give some more data:

SOURCE OF GROUNDING

    * DEEP WELL
    * GALVANIZED IRON WATER LINE
    * STEEL FRAME CONSTRUCTION
    * STEEL BAR (2 METERS DEEP)
    * STEEL BAR EMBEDDED IN CEMENT
    * STEEL GATE, ETC.

SAFETY MEASURES AND PRECAUTIONS

RECOMMENDED WIRES :

    * FOR WELDING-MINIMUM OF # 8 SINGLE STRANDED WIRE.
    * USE SINGLE STRANDED WIRE ATTACHED TO EITHER (110~220~240~440 VOLTS) CYCLE : 60~50 HZ. FROM THE MAIN SAFETY BOX.
    * MAIN FUSE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 100 AMPERES
    * ALWAYS USE SAFETY GADGETS SUCH AS GLOVES, SHOES AND PROTECTIVE LENS.

GROUNDING

       OHMS

    *   500 ~ LOW RESISTANCE
    * 1000 ~ MEDIUM RESISTANCE
    * 2000 ~ HIGH RESISTANCE

WE call it flash burn sort of feels like sand in your  eyes alot of sand  Chet

@ramset@bulbz
Thats absolutely right! The Flashburn gives more hurt then the shock from Electricity.
Yes it feels like you hafe sand in your eyes and someone came with his thumbs and is pressing it to the eyes.

Perhaps you have whatched it,that the guy does not want to just put the Alublock to the Ground.
It was either in his hands,in his pocket or in the isolatet dish.

I would say that it feels more like being hit in the eyes with an angle grinder. Not that I have ever let an angle grinder get that close to my face.

All I know is..... It flaming-well hurts.

I dunno, I'm still sceptical...

They are saying that this unit WILL NOT give you an electric shock !. I have handled welders an uncounted amount of times, and I can tell you that if you touch the electrode, you will get a jolt. If you are touching the workpiece or earth clamp, you will definately know about it.
