I have made a version of a homemade welder (supposedly what Dan Dingel was welding with)It is based off this german drawing from Dingel's stuff. It is almost exactly like my arc experiment...it uses about 40 watts and melts steel.(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w152/Jdub6d9/danieldingel1.jpg)I find that resistance is needed to get the effect...it is the same mechanism...I have to "strike an arc" by direct contact then pull away...it's much easier to do at 48v. Once I strike it a BEMF HV spike breaks down the air allowing the next forward EMF conduct through the ionized air. Over and over...it's a spark oscillator, meaning it is running at many frequencies (white noise spark gaps supply many frequencies)I will be testing this circuit much more tomorrow....should get a video too...but it looks like a promising system.As for my early videos...they should only be appreciated for the certain effects...as for my explanations back then...they were a lil lacking (I understand it much better now)
