Hi all
Well the short burst did prove some thing, it is no longer a theory, but it's now possible.
I did learn a few things, main one DON'T WAVE YOUR HAND OVER THE HOLE,
I know that I had switched it off, but a instinct reaction, some times the action is faster than the brain saying stop.
The power supply yes looked like a tig, but wasn't, it was a plasma cutter, WAIT I SHUT OFF SOME SAFETIES AND DONE SOME 'FIDDLEING' so don't just grab one and try it.
Now it was not the correct unit to use, ok on the small unit well sort of.
It was a DC unit fortunately I did not do to much damage to the prototype, just the $A80 electrode. :'( :'( :'(
I may have to get another connection on the inside, but in all with the CORRECT power unit there should not be a problem.
The only one is the cost$A4-8,000, that’s out of my league.
There is another possibility, is that would be to modify the output of a DC plasma cutter supply, some of these at the moment are going for about $A600 to $A800, but the modification may cost $A300 to $A600. It would all have to be purpose made for the job, and that is if it is possible.
The other is to build a supply unit my self.
What I might do is to see if I can find a way to rebuild the little test unit so that it does not melt, this any one could build, to play around with.
Well that it for now I expect there will be many questions but hey it was a first, one thing is that it can be replicated with the full information on the build and the application.
