Those rods look pretty big, you should maybe try some 2.6mm or even 2mm rods, I reckon you would get better results, and it would be easier for the young fella to learn with. He'll probably be over stick welders by xmas and be begging you to buy him a tig..
hola si lees mi mensaje te pido que me ayudes hice uno pero no me responde como el que muestras en el video espero em digas en que me equivoque porfavor te lo agradecere mucho ok
After spending days researching this setup on YouTube i have come yo realize that the amps and volts entering the machine is most dangerous,after passing first mot volts drop approx to 40vac and amps go up to 40 or so,not so dangerous,then after passing second mot vac drop to 20 and amps go up to 80 or so,even safe to touch electrode end and ground end with both hands,the way i see it,if everything is boxed in safe and made good, casings of mots earthed to power outlet then good job! well done!
I dont know why should experiment with it hes Brother should know it is dangerous big i never had transformers like that i would like to have 1or2 now
@shortyjk95 how did you come to learn such thing? This to me looks complicated, i was thinking about doing it but since you said the insulation is a problem, im a bit iffy, what if you just insulated it a bit more with some electric tape? Would that shut down the magnetic field, a no no, or would this help keep peace of mind?
ok, so the secondaries attach to one another? Secondaries are the 10 gauge. Why couldnt anyone make there own home made scratch transformer, is there insolation that needs to be considered, like the microwave transformers have to offer?
@Eskimo1399 the secondaries do have insulators on them, the wire is called magnet wire and has a very very thin coat but for what your using it for you need a lot of insulation cuz they can get hot, no you cant make your own transformer cuz there is a specific magnet field that is generated by the primaries and the secondaries pick that up and transform that into the voltage and amps you need (depends on how many wraps you put on the secondaries
@scottishmale1970 first i bet i knew more than you when i was 12 so i wouldnt be talking, i prob couldve wired a house when i was that age so yeh STFU
im a professional electrician. i wasnt "trying" to be smart i know what the hell im talking about and have the degrees in electrical science to prove it. just because you put them on two different circuits doesnt mean you wont still burn your house down.
@hellrose1228 ok i can get a paper that says i have a phd in how to make noodles. my separate circuits are big enough to handle the amps so no my house isnt gonna burn down. also if your telling me to not mess with electricity, then how come your a "professional" at it?
props for being creative but wow are you guys trying to kill yourselves? you accidently strip one wire while wiring the transformer and you could cause serious injury to your self or someone else. Let alone blow a circuit in your house or burn the house down. i'd rather spend the little extra money and get a 110v harbor freight welder for $90.
@hellrose1228 nice try at trying to be smart, first if we did strip a wire on accident there is no way possible that it could shock us, the transformers are grounded so they can short out but cant shock us in anyway unless we obviously touch the 2 ends of the welder which would be stupid. also we put it on 2 separate circuits so we dont blow a breaker.
@staticincanmore they are there to help you because people like you would ask. what the hell is the primary. do i need this orange wire, whats this etc
Asking me to subscribe/comment/talking about your cam quality/apology for mower/etc... Are all things I would ask about if they weren't plastered all over the screen? I dunno about that.....
@staticincanmore yes really they are there for your help. since your watching it that means you wanted to know how to make a welder and most peolple dont know what the primaries secondaries this wire that wire and how to wire it etc
i wouldnt do this to save money but anyone learning to weld could use this as a great learning tool. one thing though for practice the hardest thing to weld with is coat hanger. if you can master welding with coat hanger you can weld with anything. good job fellas i wish i started welding as young as you guys.
@smileynirvana2 it actually works a lot better than A LOT of people thing!!! Also I have never tried welding with a coat hanger so now im gonna go try it!!!!
@cameramonkey2 lol sorry about so many. at the time my editor didnt allow me to do anything but now i have great editor as you can see in my newest videos suck as airsoft fails, and silencer best on youtube
@MPRdrummer i was 12 when i made it and im now 15m, i still have the welder and i still luv it!!! it works great! =D do you want me to do an update video on this welder so you know it still works
@ismokewead420 ikr sorry about that but i had to bcuz otherwise people wouldnt understand it and get pissed bcuz they dont know what parts are what on the transformer
@Mr71seventyone1 it should say in the description but anyways i got them from 2 microwaves, just go on craigslist and search microwaves and should should be able to get them for really cheap
As long as your secondary windings do not feed into any rectifier component(s), you get alternating current out from your alternating current in. There is no continuous "positive" or "negative", as in a battery-powered circuit. You mention this direct current feature, but don't offer any explanation as to how you arranged for it or how you determined the polarity in your secondary circuit windings.
hey shorty can you draw the wiring diagram of your micro welding machine coz i want to make one i dont know the wiring can you specified the wiring . and men you have a nice video .keep up the good work
Hello, I'm sorry but I'm not sure how to hook I'm in in series! Could you please help me out? An would it make the welder any stronger if you hooked 3 transformers in series? Please email me and help me figure out how to wire them in serious email me at brandon21984@gmail.com thank you and am lookin forward to hearing from you. Thank you
@BrandonJ21984 Series is positive to negative and positive to negative so what u do is get the negative from one transformer and connect it to the postive of the other. Then use the remaining positive as a ground clamp and remaining negative as your electrode holder. Adding a third transformer creates too much current which i very dangerous so dont do it
how do you know that your primary can take that current? and also won't the transformer heating up reduce its lifespan due to insulation melting? thanks
@yesschembri no not really, we used wire that has good insulation and that is also why we have the fans that push in cool air and push out the warm air
god you dont know much about electronics but um ya it dose matter what way you wire the transformers and you should have used a thicker wire but it looks like you got lucky with the wiring of the transformers and put the hot in the welding rod and the nutril in whatever your welding that's pretty important
@MrStemkilla u cant use thicker wire because you need 20 raps per transformer or it wont work also duh it matters what way you wire them what i was saying in the vid is it doesnt matter how you wire them because you can use a multimeter and find out what is + and what is -
@shortyjk95 eh i broke a good multi meeter with thos and it was no fun.... step dad bought me a new one...way better... and it dose matte rif they arnt need and wrap around eachother it alters magnetic feanld and you losse qwite abit of power... you have 2 transformers.. you dont need 20 wraps each and hears a little help the thicker the wire and the less wraps and more wraps on the non modified part = higher amps ... and you use more amps than voltage in welding like that
i think like 8 gauge should work for that and not get hot.. you should put in a 15 amp breaker in the box so if it trips you just reset from there not your house with a 20 amp breaker.... in AC there is no + or - its hot and neutral sorta the same but its more of a safe thing because neutral is safe to work on and hot is not... its easier to get shocked with AC ... just so you look like you know more about what your talking about in the future
@MrStemkilla ok for the second part but you want a certain amount of amps and volts so the less amount of wraps means more amps and you dont want to many cuz itll make it not powerful enough, just saying but when i made my welder we were researching it for about 2 months
@shortyjk95 see all you really need the volts for is for keeping a contact but amps are what melts the metal meaning you can have a tun of amps and like .5v and weld like crazy ive seen it done but that welding a clan serface to weld rust and durt filled places you need only like 15 v and a tun of amps idk how mutch that would be i dont want to do the math and to get more amps you literally use a ticker wire and wrap it less times i mean you can make a welder out of 1 but 2 is better
i dont get y everyone fails at getting the secondaries out
i got it out in two pieces, u jsut hack saw one end off clean, then u pull out the thick wire that goes around abt 4 turns( this gives u wiggle room) and u wiggle the rest of the secondary out with some rod
@lordaboveall dude i have more knowledge on stuff like this than you think, i have been building things since i was in second grade, and i recently fixed to jetski's and i have rewired these small transformers for cameras
@shortyjk95 I bet u i have more knowledge than u and i am ur age, ive rewired houses, built cars, built a workshop, i do professional welding, im taking a course on mastering woodworking, i have built computers, ive been driving since ten, i own atleast $1000 to $1500 of tools not like the cheap shit u were holding and best of all, for the car audio jobs i do, i get anything up to $600 in a day. SO LICK MY SEAM. Ur not special
@lordaboveall oh no im not saying i know more than you what im saying is some people think im a complete dumbass but i actually know a lot of stuff about engines cars guns manufacturing engineering etc.
@lordaboveall yea but at least im not a professional mexican you better shut up before i call border patrol by the way i looked at your videos and you sound like you might have down syndrome you might want to go to a doctor
@TheWorks26 I aint mexican and u must be fuckin dum to think that. Ur so fuckin dum that u dont even know what Down Syndrome is. I love the way u spelt everything correctly cos u have google chrome u fucktard and i would hassle u on it. BTW Down syndrome isnt when you always look down
@lordaboveall you must feel like a fucking idiot because i dont even have google chrome and i said you sound like you have down syndrome not you look like you have so go fuck your worthless queen and get your disgusting teeth fixed
@TheWorks26 U talk so much bullshit it is so funny. I can imagine it now, ur mum givin birth to u in a strip club and squeezin so hard that the first time a lump of shit came out and then u and she couldnt tell the difference. Also u see where u pay to go to the Doctor or Dentist, I get it for FREE and bcos of that my teeth are perfect. Ur jus one of those pricks who make a U Tube acc just to talk shit as i c u havent got any vids but seem to talk shit a lot
@TheWorks26 I cant stop laughing at the fact people hate u. They like my comments and flag urs as spamm. SNM and if u do, ur just tryin to recover from the verbal beat down i just gave u
Woh... 1000 wraps around the primary? that doesn't seem right... The primary is for the incoming power (120v) so it actually should have around 120+- wraps of wire on the primary side. My transformer is a 4000 volt transformer. so on the seconday side it has about 4000+- wraps of very very thin wire. Oh and I forgot to mention, there is actually nothing wrong with my welder (welder"s" now haha) I found out. It turns out that the sockets I had it hooked to were only capable of 10amps b/c breaker.
@benmatheny151 because not all have outputs plus if you used it as is, it wouldn't weld because of the power. You need a curtain amount of volts and amps to weld, the original wiring has to many volts and hardly and amps, so that is why you need to rewire both the connect the wires. (ps wiring them separately is easy then both at once) anymore questions feel free to ask
I can get your idea about what to connect. In two words..the are such things as pull and thrust if you ar speaking about coils. By cheking voltage you can see if coils are connected right. Just read about pull/thrust.
Anyway it's cool that you are interesting in such things.
@TheSliekaStyle OMG EVERYONE READ THIS, YES I KNOW, ac doesn't have constant power cuz it is an alternating current (ac) but yes it does have a positive and negative the big is negative and little is postive (outlet on wall)
sorry i commented before but i dont think it worked....anywho.... you are amazing. i cannot believe how smart you are for fifteen. can you tell me how and what materials i would need to make such a thing. i love to make things myself but i am not afraid to ask for help in how to do it
dude.....you are unbelievable. when i saw how young you were it blew my top!! anyway you could send me the instructions and materials needed to make this thing?
@toxicproductions100 sry for late response but it is because your breaker can only handle 16 amps so like i said in the vid i put mine on 2 curcuits so it doesn't blow it
any other questions ffell free to ask plz dont forget to sub =D thx
@toxicproductions100 I worked on it with him. We are running on 2 DIFFERENT CIRCUITS because of the amperage problem. We were running on a 10A and a 15A curcuit. It should be fine right there, because the 10A was also powering lights inside the house. The welder outputs around 36V and ~100A. Our amperage gauge on the multimeter wasn't working, so I have no idea how many amps the welder draws.
@SuperYoukhan you take the positive end of the one transformer and connect it to the negative end of the other transformer that is it if you want i can make another vid of how to do that just
@toxicproductions100 no it does not because you are going to change the wattage in it since your are changing the secondaries =D anymore questions feel free to ask
@sprogdiklis tell that to commercial welder builders cuz they do plus if you didn't know your outlet on your wall is 110- 120volts ac and one is + and other -
okay so i was making one but i have a problem. when i tried to drill out the secondary winding the drill bit slipped and tor up some of the outside primary windings. so i removed the damaged primary windings... but now i only have about 100 primary windings. Will 100 primary windings still work? i should have around 120 windings because the 120 volts but will this still work? thanks.

@shortyjk95 I bet u i have more knowledge than u and i am ur age, ive rewired houses, built cars, built a workshop, i do professional welding, im taking a course on mastering woodworking, i have built computers, ive been driving since ten, i own atleast $1000 to $1500 of tools not like the cheap shit u were holding and best of all, for the car audio jobs i do, i get anything up to $600 in a day. SO LICK MY SEAM. Ur not special

Woh... 1000 wraps around the primary? that doesn't seem right... The primary is for the incoming power (120v) so it actually should have around 120+- wraps of wire on the primary side. My transformer is a 4000 volt transformer. so on the seconday side it has about 4000+- wraps of very very thin wire. Oh and I forgot to mention, there is actually nothing wrong with my welder (welder"s" now haha) I found out. It turns out that the sockets I had it hooked to were only capable of 10amps b/c breaker.
ebaum1000 9 months ago
Yeah i had my research wrong... taken from instructables...
If the secondary has more turns than the input, its output voltage is higher.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE = INPUT VOLTAGE * (# OF 2NDARY TURNS) / (# OF PRIMARY TURNS)
Our primary has 100 turns and gets connected to 100 volts AC. We're winding 20 turns on the secondary, so we'll get about 20 volts out.
The available POWER STAYS THE SAME regardless of what the output VOLTAGE is.
POWER (WATTS) = AMPS * VOLTS

shortyjk95 10 months ago
I didnt get the part about drilling thru the core, why not just use the output of the first transformer into the input of the next one?
benmatheny151 10 months ago
@benmatheny151 because not all have outputs plus if you used it as is, it wouldn't weld because of the power. You need a curtain amount of volts and amps to weld, the original wiring has to many volts and hardly and amps, so that is why you need to rewire both the connect the wires. (ps wiring them separately is easy then both at once) anymore questions feel free to ask
shortyjk95 10 months ago
I can get your idea about what to connect. In two words..the are such things as pull and thrust if you ar speaking about coils. By cheking voltage you can see if coils are connected right. Just read about pull/thrust.
Anyway it's cool that you are interesting in such things.

Em..dude..AC don't have constant postive and negative
TheSliekaStyle 11 months ago
@TheSliekaStyle OMG EVERYONE READ THIS, YES I KNOW, ac doesn't have constant power cuz it is an alternating current (ac) but yes it does have a positive and negative the big is negative and little is postive (outlet on wall)
shortyjk95 11 months ago
@shortyjk95
So you are telling that AC doesn't have constant positive and negative, BUT it have. That's interesting.
Dude..that you have one bigger hole in wall socket isn't new law of physic of electric.
TheSliekaStyle 11 months ago
@TheSliekaStyle i know that the bigger slit thing in the wall isn't new
but ac has positive and negative put the current of electricity isn't constant because it is ac (alternating current)
which means it isn't a constant flow of electricity like dc is (direct current)

Ok I built one but mine is pulling 20amps 220v (immediately took out the 16amp breaker) how many amps is yours pulling?
toxicproductions100 1 year ago
@toxicproductions100 sry for late response but it is because your breaker can only handle 16 amps so like i said in the vid i put mine on 2 curcuits so it doesn't blow it
any other questions ffell free to ask plz dont forget to sub =D thx
shortyjk95 1 year ago
@toxicproductions100 I worked on it with him. We are running on 2 DIFFERENT CIRCUITS because of the amperage problem. We were running on a 10A and a 15A curcuit. It should be fine right there, because the 10A was also powering lights inside the house. The welder outputs around 36V and ~100A. Our amperage gauge on the multimeter wasn't working, so I have no idea how many amps the welder draws.

@toxicproductions100 no it does not because you are going to change the wattage in it since your are changing the secondaries =D anymore questions feel free to ask

@shortyjk95 do they both have to be exaktaly 20 volts because mine is 16 volts
toxicproductions100 1 year ago
@toxicproductions100 you should have a little more wraps for more volts, but it may stick a little more than mine if you don't add more wraps

I think it should still work. Now instead of about 1 volt per winding ill have about 1.2 volts across each winding. Does this sound right?
ebaum1000 1 year ago
okay so i was making one but i have a problem. when i tried to drill out the secondary winding the drill bit slipped and tor up some of the outside primary windings. so i removed the damaged primary windings... but now i only have about 100 primary windings. Will 100 primary windings still work? i should have around 120 windings because the 120 volts but will this still work? thanks.
