The best part was when you cut the power supply cord short then added wire back to make it longer. Mark Rober better watch out for you.

I wasted my entire life throwing away used razor blades, when I could have just welded them together. This video has completely changed my life - now I'm going to have all the welded-together razor blades I always dreamed of as a small child. I'm off to the computer shop now, to get the latest Mac Airbook Pro and get chopping away at that power supply. I might even be able to burn some holes in some aluminium foil too! Pure genius.

Nice idea of using a laptop converter for a spot welder. Suggestions for the future: If you're going to tinker with electronics, buy a soldering iron. When you wrap wires together, get in the habit of wrapping in a right hand direction. That way if you need to use wire nuts, the wrap will already be in the correct direction. Why in the world didn't you just chuck up the carbon rod in the drill instead of twisting/wadding up the sandpaper? Since all you used the rod for was to jam it with the wire in the sparkplug, you could have just used a file to make a flat side on the round rod...much faster. Keep in mind that the spark plug body is insulated from the rod, but not the electrode sticking out the bottom (underneath the curved contact). Your finger was very close to it, and if you happened to touch it and the "ground" clip, you will get a nice "surprise". Cover all of the bottom of the sparkplug with tape. Lastly, if you want to appear to know what you're talking about, the wires inside of a cord are not called "components"; they're just wires. Components are things like resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, etc.

Good ideas here but a few things I am lost on - a. Why cut the cord when you could have just cut the plug at the end and used the wires as is. b. Why use a spark plug - just as a holder ?🤔🤔. A piece of wood would do the same job. c. Why not use the spark plug electrode itself instead of using a carbon rod? It is already platinum or iridium to withstand sparks. Just a few thoughts to ponder upon ....

I normally only fool with soldering an existing circuit board i have, if I have gotten robbed again, the capacitor discharged, hopefully shocked the thief. As they yank out either my bass or mid amp. We are 3 vehicles deep into my career by the time I was robbed or an idiot had attempted it so often. I just knew the whole unreleased wiring scheme Ford SVT Lightning still 21 years later is held secret. I am still waiting my turn with the official copy of the diagram book from the forums. One of the times, the shock was so severe, that whichever amp they tried for, it melted the fuses deep into the body of the other amp. I got it out, and had to take it apart to get all the melted fuse taken out. I grew up on a ranch. There are regular generator and gas tanks and tinted helmet to weld nice metal pipe fence. Then there is disaster mode a family member is getting his arm and the fence busted by one of our bulls. Pap gas in a torch is good for things that need a full welding rig, but just "brazing" the metal with it is enough to get the fence to hold, and the heat scares the bull away. It is a good zombie apocalypse skill to have, or weapon to use in a riot. Respect it's power and wear eyewear if you can.. I've used metal parts left by people moving out of my complex to build things with. My brain got stirred up because someone left fully welded stuff by the dumpster today. I keep that tank on my back porch in a toolbox. Don't even think of indoor storage. Most thugs today would think it might be a different brand of butane torch. I don't want it in my garage. Hopefully nobody tests it out or wants to steal it. It gets impressively hot very fast. Your post just reminded me how dangerous physics, electricity, chemistry can be if a person without college education and decent scary labs can be. You know some future people are going to try to build up a DIY eV charging port. Fires will happen. If you are not good at math; please do not do anything with power supplies or transformers. Nobody benefits.

Really not sure why all the negative comments on the pacing of the video, the way the device was made, the workmanship, etc. etc. This is not meant to illustrate how to make an industrial grade tool, just a concept of how to repurpose something to be useful again instead of just throwing it into the landfill. Obviously, if making one of these to use for a long time (instead of something built quickly enough to be built and used in a short demo video) you could improve the workmanship techniques and possibly the materials and tools used as appropriate. I thought this was a clever and innovative build project, and other than the very important comment about eye safety I think the majority of the comments are kinda missing the point...

The graphite rod is a resistance that if someone is lucky enough, will limit current enough for the PSU protection circuit to not shut off the output. Better technique would be to reserve it for spot welding, put a resistor in series to limit inrush current to a capacitor bank in series, so you simply wait a few seconds to charge up the capacitor bank, then are discharging it to do the spot weld. No spark plug or battery core required, just low gauge wire and durable/replaceable electrode. A very short piece of 12ga solid core wire as a replaceable tip in a screwed-clamp setup would do nicely if it just needs to be cheap and use scraps lying around anyway.

You are just very wrong, stop thinking you're being fooled, not everything is a conspiracy. He was using a computer power supply, and the reason the power supply protection wasn't tripped is because he has the carbon rod, and that rod has resistance so the power supply doesn't see this as a "short" circuit. Of course you need supply with enough amperage to heat up the tip of the carbon rod to a high enough temperature. He doesn't show the amperage but often it's around 3 Amps or so. You can use any power supply with enough amperage, with a higher voltage you would need less amperage to accomplish this. A 12V PC power supply would probably be good too, they often have around 15 Amps or more on the 12V rails. It's the carbon rod that makes this possible, it gets very hot easily. These are very thin materials, for heavier duty welding you'd probably need much more power.

I’d use heat-shrink tubing instead of tape. Tape is a PIA. Also worth soldering the connections at the same time

If you take your cable wire stripper and twirl it around the insulated wire, you will have better results.

The spark plug has a conductive lead, you pulled it out You could have certainly used the original leaf. Rediculous. You can buy a basic welder that actually welds for $50 and you won't get electrocuted

Only heatproof material like spark plug ceramic is a must to hold carbon rod. Wood or plastic holder will burn when rod heats up. Yes no need to use a new spark plug, old discarded will also be ok.

Fearless? What's to fear in this video? You do realize that he could've held onto both bare wires in his hands, even with the charger plugged in, and wouldn't feel a thing or receive a single shock, right? That laptop charge is powered by AC (alternating current) electricity and it then converting it to DC (direct current) electricity and sending that out the wires he cut. It is also only putting out 16-20 volts of DC power at a very low amperage. It would need to be putting out 75 volts or more for you to even be able to feel it tingle or shock your dry skin at all. DC electricity is very safe at low voltages (less than 60 volts). This is why you can touch both the negative and the positive side of a car battery at the same time with your bare hands and not feel a thing, or be able to touch both contacts of a 9 volt battery and not feel a thing. Those are low voltage DC electricity. Have a good day.

Начальный этап зачистки проводов, взятие графитового стержня из пальчиковой батарейки, использование старой автомобильной свечи, как держатель. Сварка аккумуляторов, сопряжена с трудностям, нет: прижима, регулировки тока и времени разряда, да и сам ИБП работает на перегрузке, глазки надо беречь. Но идея хорошая, если в средствах ограничен.
