DIY WELDING MACHINE USING 5 MICROWAVE TRANSFORMERS

[@joeblowjohnny2297]

Awesome video ! I have been searching for a video to show how to make a 200 amp car battery charger that is easy to understand like this one . The one they sell use circuit board computer control type ..... not good for this . I need a manual 200 amp car charger to revive some old car battery . Any help in guiding me in the right direction would greatly appreciated ! Thanks

[@ggggcjjhh]

a 200 amp car charger would over power your car battery and a car battery is dc transformers only work with ac, so you would damage/blow up your battery. you could rectify the output of it but you would need to current limit it to not damage your battery or you could just buy a normal car charger

[@shaneweatherall8666]

I've seen this theoretically explained before, using multi transformers to build up current to weld with. I would like to thank you for demonstrating this in a practical application that a lot of people can afford to duplicate. A very well done video. Good Job !

This guy is a machine. All my best projects came from his vids. If you watch more than one you must subscribe guys, seriously. Like one example he doesnt reuse some crappy thing off another old welder as the earth clamp, he buys a nice new amazon one for the free welder, legend.

[@mobmob5944]

Good job . The only thing i got to say is that putting a magnetizing metal next to a transformer while its on will make it heat up faster , even if its a transformer thats in line. But of course you probably knew this but to those who dont 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@crazyd3mon968]

Bit of a safety tip when pulling apart home appliances it's a good idea to discharge any large capacitors inside to avoid any hazards.

[@laminewane5607]

c'est excellent un travail de professionnel . good good & good

[@MrElbergom]

good video, but for this experiment to be efficient and durable, all the transformers must be of similar capacities, otherwise the one with the lowest capacity will burn out, I recommend that the cable turns should be measured separately and matched according to their capacities for a better life Useful

[@MrDKDIY]

This is very good useful DIY project,226 amps and more , welding machine make at home by me :) pls Share this video and don't forget press Subcribe ,thanks for your support ...

[@thirdeyepuckerexplorations3885]

a wire diagram would be amazing as not all wires are the same color code depending on make and model...i have a min 02 max 02.5 ark but dsnt have the fluency as tht1 you made seems to, due to lack of experience or power im not sure but sticking rods is an issue all the time but once going its great..more powerful would arc better so please if you can sen a diagram of wiring to above address..ie [e-mail] tht would be amazing

[@askarthefolf8581]

I recommend you to phase the bone transformers, connect the principle of the primary coil to the phase. and that all the principles are in the same phase so that the current does not tire

[@izzzzzz6]

To check the phase is it enough to just observe the directions of all of the windings? chack for example that if they are all clockwise wound that the neutral is always on the same side and then they flow in that same direction? Same for the secondaries.

[@ΓιώργοςΣακελλαρίου-θ9ψ]

Μπράβο ρε μάστορα εργο τεχνης

[@dm.2023]

You don't want more voltage, you want more current Wire the transformers in parallel rather than series. Voltage stays low (and safe) but you'll get 5x the current. Just make sure you've phased them correctly.

[@MrDKDIY]

👍👍

[@zondesamuel7671]

Can it get much hot?

[@dj6769]

To add current control get a heavy duty 5 position switch connect stinger lead to common and make a jumper to each transformer isolated from each other to prevent back feed. Position 1= low voltage/current, 2= two transformers, 3= three transformers...ect Possibly switching the primaries individually would give you current/voltage control? Neat idea if you have access to microwaves. 👍

[@lucabozzi8677]

Very good and beautiful job !!!!!!!!!!

[@TinkeringNerd]

You should wire it in such way that you could “deactivate” one or two transformers at a time, making step adjustments of the welding current.

[@AngryHybridApe]

I think thats why he installed that selector knob.

[@dalemartin815]

Good idea, but how would that work?

[@tangodigitalsystems]

It will be nearly impossible because the secondary are winded in series.

[@mgrdigimarketing3035]

Good point. Old post, but still got questions. Could adjusting the input current to the linked line of transformers do the same thing?

[@TinkeringNerd]

@@mgrdigimarketing3035 how would you adjust the input current?

*Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a similar welding machine? (I wonder what's the price for a machine of similar performance.)* Não ficaria mais barato comprar uma máquina de solda similar? (Me pergunto qual o custo de uma máquina com performance similar).

[@ggggcjjhh]

a cheap welder goes for around 100 euros 5 microwaves can be free or like 30 euros and you learn from doing it. but a welding machine you buy is alot better ive tried to make one at home and used a bought one i prefer the 100 euro one note i only used 2 transformers

Very informative disclosure, with meter readings, schematic and captions at key points! Thanks! And you have my subscription. Can you now turn your talent to refine this, to substitute no-cost components for that rotary switch, earth clamp, electrode holder? And begging your pardon, what exactly is the rotary switch controlling? The mains, or something more?

[@junstone2377]

I guess the rotary switch is use to control how many components you are going to use, like if you are cutting then use all of them then maybe if wielding just use 2 or 3 hahahaha

[@splash5974]

Fan speed

[@cobre7717]

Looks like the rotation switch gives power from the mains to the transformer banks. He probably has it engaging different amounts of the mains energy to separate amounts of transformer... maybe four transformer on 1 and all on 2.

Hello, I found this project very interesting but there is some details I fail to understand ; 1 : How do you get around not burning the safety switch in your house ? Normally, there is a short circuit if anything use more than 2200 volts. How do you make sure it is not going to use more. 2 : Why do you need the turning switch with different modes ? What mode do you want to choose ? 3 : Why do you need two switches ? 4: Do you use a regular power point ? 5: Do you wire the fan in line or in parallel to the transformers ?

[@alberttang1748]

One switch for primary and the other for secondary winding. Because of the surge.

[@mobmob5944]

Wire it parallel to the primary coil in the beginning with the ac in wires . If the fan is of course 120v or 220v ect

Are all 5 transformers connected as one unit with the cable? You do not cut the cable do you? I have seen a few videos like yours but none done so well. Thanks

All the the 5 primary in one unit parallel together. But the secondary series with 5 transformer so that have total of 30 volts (6 volts @ transformer with 8 turns each.) I hope you understand my english.

[@AutodidactEngineer]

Uou should have made a current selectlr as 200+ amps isn't really that useful allthough you could cut the number of turns in half and get a 120 amps machine with a ridiculously long duty cycle eaither way Great Build, I wil be happy to replicate your idea and add a few more features! Including the current selector!

[@MrDKDIY]

Thanks for the tips!

[@saylormalan]

Greetings. Please, what is the current of these 5 primaries connected in parallel in your assembly? I think it must be very high ... and when the electric arc opens to the process of welding, it will be much higher causing the shutdown in the power circuit (220 ACV).

[@lazar2175]

You connect it to triple phase outlet and you are fine

[@cobre7717]

In his schematic drawing it looks like 5 different mains lines to each primary coil. The primarys are not drawn in parallel like the secondary coils are.

By sir ,there's small and big ones which one did u use,I mean the transformers

[@tonyk3728]

Hello, If i wind the cables around the second transformer the opposite way to first, will the current run back and heat up cable between two transformers? Does it matter which side of transformer i start winding each ? Does winding have to be identical to each in order for current to flow same way and get stronger from each passing? Does it matter if one transformer primary coil is + - and other is wired - + ? (not sure which is + or - on primary coils. Thanks.
