  • those stainless steel hook up's need to be insulated one from the other.... bare wire is dangerous and can be cause of sparks - explosions.

    Thom in Scotland.

  • You seem to be independently wealthy. That is the real sad part. A lot of very ingenious people just don't have the means to put their brains to work like you have here. Great job btw.

  • How did the old sparking connections not explode the vessel?  And what gap do you use between plates?

  • dam thats nice but how can i make this i dont have a welder.

  • good luck ... hope you find a workable solution ... I saw some of your earlier videos of your torch setup and your welder kicks some butt ... I want to see that toy working again better than ever ...

  • That might be the way to go thanks

    I am going to give these cables a try first and see what heat is generated

  • do you remember how Boyce did his connections on the end plates of his big series cells ??? Pretty thick stainless bar stock I think he used, welded to the outer plates. Drilled a hole in them, then passed a bolt through his case to connect outside. Any chance a setup like that might work for you??? you would trande the flexible connector for what I suspect might be better connectivity. Then again your mounting might not support it, dont know.

  • I am going to try and find thicker wire from the yacht mast riggers as I agree with you, 90 watts is a lot of heat! ( and that is only one cable , so a total of 180 watts! )

  • your numbers sound encouraging (90w, ouch!!!) I guess ... that's a hell of a hit on efficiency you're gonna take with a 90w water heater lead ... but in a welder who cares as long as the damn thing delivers a high volume of gas, safely and reliably ... so here's to ya', hope that thing makes you proud ... press on, you got a solid plan ...

  • I have done a test today on the bench

    I pushed 10 Amps through the Stainless cable and measured a 90 Millivolt drop across the cable. So the resistance is 0.009 Ohm

    So at a 100 Amp I will get a 0.9 volt drop

    That means I will dissipate 90 watts across the cable and two thirds of the cable will be submerged and hopefully the electrolyte will keep it cool!
