How to make a Arc Welding Machine with 4pcs Old Microwave Transformers.
Warning : If you do not know about electromechanics, the principle of transformer operation, do not do it at home.
And I think it's only for people over 18 year old , thank you
Thanks for watching, Have a great day !
Hi friend, Warning : If you do not know about electromechanics, the principle of transformer operation, do not do it at home. And I think it's only for people over 18 year old , thank you
Yes
Where from you get this old transformers
Creative Channel Ok sir
For another project can you use more engines? I’ve wanted to build a motorized trike but if you say this is 18 or older then maybe you could do a no weld video sometime? :D love your videos boss!
nice work
i love the finger-testing for voltage
Tobias it’s only 30 volts. His hands were presumably dry, therefore they were at around 100,000Ω; meaning the current running through his hand was
@@bruhmomenthdr7575 you didnt factor in the sweat that he might have on palm? Damn its time bomb before we see funeral of this guy
@Tobias no look again
30 volts is enough you would want to wear gloves with that kind of amperage!
@@bruhmomenthdr7575 People who are electrocuted are electrocuted for doing such operations without protection, in a hurry and thinking they know
I love all things KZhead DIY channels do with old microwave transformers. Makes sense I guess, they are cheap, plentiful, and powerful. Keep up the good work.

For the improvement, add switch for the transformator 3 and 4 at the power input so you can run ½ power, ¾ power, and full power so you don't make a hole when you weld thin metal.
Azman Hadi if you put a switch in the 3 transformer you turn off the welder. Connect them in parallel, and that will work. As they are connected now, if anyone of them is turned off, all the circuit goes off. Edit: this is completely wrong. What OP says is correct, and quite a good idea. I somehow completely forgot how electricity works for a while and managed to write this comment in that time.
@@somedude2492 the primaries _are_ in parallel
@@xConundrumx yeah my bad. Stupid one year younger me thought of the transformers as switching psu's. Even if the transformer is turned off, it's still a wire. It still conducts electricity. I guess at that moment i thought for some reason that if the transformer is not powered the secondary somehow disconnects in the middle.
@@somedude2492 the trafo you want to disconnect the primary, then short that primary !! this way you also short the sec winding, of that trafo, and this way you get what you wanted, a lower output voltage, less power.
@@TeardownOZ2CPU when you disconnect the primary the secondary already gets shorted. There is no need to short the primary.
I made my welder from 2 microwave transformers about a year ago. Wired in series, except I used 14 gauge solid copper wire. 210 peak amps 140 welding. The best electrodes for my welding machine ate 6011 & 6013. Also, I wired a 30a breaker to a power strip, just in case. No problems, many, many welds
How many turns did you do with the 14 gauge wire?
15 turns on each transformer. It still welds great. I have had to resolder at the ground clamp connection 3-4 times because of the solid wire. At the electrode holder I soldered a about a foot of braided copper wire. Will most likely do the same on ground clamp

Yo estoy haciendo una cuanto tiempo de soldadura aguanta antes que la dejes enfríar?
The way to make an arc welding machine is very simple by you. Great job! However, safety is first. You should perform using the machine in a safe manner for amateurs. Thank you very much for your video!
excelente vídeo, un consejo falta un interructor de corriente, un ventilador para enfriar o sacar lo que calienta los transformadores y por supuesto una caja, para que al menos se parezca a una maquina de soldar pero muy bien la idea felicitaciones
Totalmente
A melhor máquina de solda caseira que já vi aqui no KZhead!!!! Parabéns!!!!

Eyes: protected Feet: who cares about feet-protection like a closed show??? XD
Its more difficult to weld toes, but it can be done
Even the cables was thin
Safety flip flops engaged....
Spikey DaPikey lol, the steel toed flip flops
Chinese Workboots
LMAO
I cringed
Hah, I winced a bit when I saw that. At least he's got a mask on though lol
straight post-apocalyptic bro. Awesome!
Wow, I think you may just have invented arc welding ! 👏
3:27 Ok I'm still live. Let's go
😂
😂
🤣😂😂😂😂
oh bro nice make, I love your chanel
Thanks bro, studying electrical Engineering, I hope one day to be experimental like. you
31st viewer from India, have made the same welding machine 2 /3 years ago and it was amazing
Muito bom . Parabéns
Wow you could hear the EF coming through the audio. Nice creation. Works great! 👍 I wonder what hertz it is & if they are stable?
I just finished it, and it works flawlessly .. you are great!
Made on the knee! Fast and cheap! Nice!
good job mate
Thanks for the share
I think if you add two microwave fans and a switch to select middle(2 transformers) and full power(4 transformers) it could be awesome!! I love your videos man! Greetings from Honduras :)
I was just thinking about that.
Bloody good show. Did exactly what he said he would do.
Nice work , with this project can you use it as mini electric arc furnance ?
а какое качество шва и провар... ММММММ, прям хоть сейчас космические корабли варить =)))))
Ага
You have got to love the open toe, no glove welding. Haha. And he probably got a nice flash tan. Fun times with splatter tats.
Best video uploading,,,
With 30 volts, what kind of electrode do you use?
Love your safety sandals ;)
ŮŮŮŮ ŮŮI7
remember kids, Safety Third
Está muy bueno el invento. Los transformadores calientan mucho?
Yes, great idea to invent machine is beneficially for people whose are hard working in technology. I look to learn more to earn this skillful idea for myself. I’m exciting to learn more to earn this dream to be true for me. You’re super skillful man in my dream.
How can he set the amperages for according flux??
Excellent!
Meus parabens ficou muito bom. O unico que eu vii desse jeito. Ficou show......
I like it, it's the better machine, I'm Luis peña from Maracaibo Venezuela congratulation
Nice idea
You can use an engine Oil and a good metal container to cool those transformer
very helpful, thank for posting. 👍
Amazing work, bro!
great scott need to see this 😅
Im amazed by the ingenuity and horrified by the utter lack of safety at the same time lol
same same xD
impressive thanks for all the info
Muito bom ,parabéns!
You should soo doo a follow up video on HOW TO MAKE WELDING GLOVES @HOME!
за ручку спасибо, как раз думал как своему споттеру ручку сделать
Highly intelligent people! Love it !
Awesome trick bro thanks for sharing 👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Wouldn’t you want to convert the ac to dc with a full bridge rectifier and some compositors ? So it gives more steady current ?
Mathew Gonzalez yea it’s always ac to dc with a few exceptions with tig
Nevermind it’s not always it’s more like most of the time so it would be safe to say it would work better but at the same time he could pry use more practice welding because I’m sure it would weld fine
FUUULLL BRIDGEE RECTIFAAYAAA!!
Mehdi's people is everywhere wkwk

Ты молодец !! Лайк из России !)))
Creative Jahirul ok ))
Hi it is very. Good job , I want to ask you about the connection b/w the Trans of the microwave is it serial or parlel .and thank you again.
Que funcion cumple el transformador si no toca los cables? Sirve sólo para darle la vuelta?
Did it must be 4 of the same microwave transformers from the same model or with the same parameters???
Toni L it does not matter too much.
If you use them in series then yes because of the frequency it just won't work
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! And yes!!!! Or dont use same ones and you might burn your flip flops. Jokes aside using the same transformers is mandatory!
Electrode 2.5 mm or 3.2 mm?
Very good information and well done. Thanks
Thanks for sharing great idea it would be nice if you share in drawing how to connect the cables and in each transformer how many loops did you have.?? Thanks again keep going my friend
Я тоже так думаю,идиот он просто!!!
Esse cara e gênio
Diego Souto Com certeza. 😊
SE VIRA SE ...aí são de microondas amigo
SE VIRA SE São transformadores de microondas. Você pode consegui-los tirando de microondas quebrados. 😉
MC's Creations ..sim é só assim q ele é retirado. Qnd o microondas n funciona. ..se n seria desperdício.
Esses transformadores de micro ondas se consegue facilmente em ferro velho, e barato .. To precisando de uma maquina de solda, mais depois desse video não vou nem comprar hehe Vou eu mesmo fazer o meu .. Já que não vou usar para serviços pesados mesmo, esse aí vai me servir bem :D
I'm not going to hate on the Flip Flops, because I welded while wearing Crocs before.
Crocs are even better, like wearing cages to keep those cherries in lol
My crocs are steel toe
4plus2wj Yeah I had some spots on my feet for a while.
Barefoot fuckers
Laundry Sauce 2 ?
Perfect job.
Very good, congratulations!!!
7:11 perfekt with your safety shoes 😜
For sure
Nice
Oh, this nice and useful video, I need this.
Very nice job, thank for sharing
I try it work just ,plese helping you're web sait thank
31V is very low voltage. Ideal is 50 - 60V.
Where did you get all your experience omg you are awesomely great thanks
Thanks for the tips I will be making one very soon many thanks
10:01 beautiful bead lol
Plz show in one video your work room .....
chethan poojary ballamanja He does
chethan Birwa'Z वलडिंग मसिन
buenisimo muy prolijo exelente expicacion
Wow, that's wonderful
3:25 safety first!
How long before it melts its own insulation?
Tinkering Nerd hopefully before the wires in the wall catch fire 😂😂😂 I'm guessing that thin ass secondary goes first though. It's the only reason he isn't popping the breaker
Tinkering Nerd maybe 30 seconds continously. +-
@Eligio Budde I have made welder using 4 microwave transformers . Now after some time it starts getting really hot. So I ordered a thermocouple relay that sounds a buzzer when it Crosse 65 degree celcius. Is it okay for the transformer to go beyond 65 degree celcius??
i have melted thicker cables and welding with only 2,5mm rod...try making a 30 second continuous bead and see how the wire gets toasty....
Bravo Monsieur good Job 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪🔨🔨🔨🔨
It's very nice, I want the full detail which you used the wire and transformer
I always weld in my flip-flops
С таким успехом мог сразу подключить к 220 в розетку. Металл сжёг бы также!
Перегорела бы вся проводка
Amazing! I like so much!
this guy is smart good video love it
Sir please make big speakers like DJ please I have send you many times. I like your channel so much and I like your all videos thank you so much please make
I am 17 year old
I have subscribed your channel and watched all videos A to Z
many times building a nice speaker is gonna cost out the ass, especially if you want a nice one.. your gonna want to use neodenyum magnets which would be the most expensive part, putting them together in the right format would be difficult to say the least... it would be possible but alot of hassle, I would do it if I had an assload of money to burn though.. I have some very interesting never before seen designs in my head, but to me just for music it's not worth the effort..
so much experts in the comment section that never welded before
Thank you! They chat too much
Like me
Excellent tutorial on DIY stick welder, are the transformers connected in series?
Love your videos from india
9.08 be careful Master Mr.Tao 😃
When the screen went blank I thought he was using all the electricity in the house lol
¿Amigo cuanto tiempo demoras soldando? No se re calienta mucho?
Hey do you remember around about how much for how long of wire you used 30 ft by 40 ft 20 ft
31 Volts * 326Amps =10106 Watts 10106W / 230V = 43.9 Amps In Germany all my fuses in the house would explode at once, cause every socket is fused with a 16 Amp fuse an 43 Amps is 3times as much (almost). So hopefully your Safty-Flip-Flops will protect you 👍🏼
Yeah..here we have 10 A on the normal breakers 220 VAC and 16 A for appliances like a stovetop or washing machine. Breaker circuit would pop at once.
Там один трансформатор на холостом ходу 6а. Потребляет их там 4 шт. 4*6=24 ампера! И это только холостой ход 4 квт. А при коротком замыкании или под нагрузкой ? Этот вариант слишком дорого обходиться киловатт 10 минимум эл.энергии!
I was asking my self the same question 326amps seems a lot of amperage in here in the us dryer or rand 230 or 220v more like 30amp
NO NO ,, The meter probably registered a peak instant of 326 amps ,, he is not using more than 80 or 90 amps on that arc ,, on 220 v a 15 to 20 amp circuit will be ok for light welding ,,, but how is he going to control the amperage he did not explain ,,he is on a fixed value with that set up …..
Здравствуйте! Я собираю себе споттер из трех трансформаторов от микроволновки по 700 ватт. на холостом ходу один трансформатор потребляет 6.3а. их 3шт. 3*6.3=18.9а. и это без нагрузки! в работе еще не замерял!
That was legitness
The jiro Network Yeah for only utilisation for yourself but notre for industries official
Eu fiz uma tmbm,obrigado amigo.Deu certo
Perfecto muy bien hecho..
A year ago i connected two of them in series there was like 800amps on the output when shorted ,but the voltage was small ,then i measured and noticed i was pulling 25 amps form the mains voltage nearly popping the breaker,so i dont understand how is this even possible without some king of balast..
Wow...
when welding you are not short circuiting..
@@MrHBSoftware actually you kinda are
Andrew Morgan arcing is not short circuiting...the current is way lower when arcing...if the elctrode sticks then you are short circuiting and you cannot weld until you unstick the elctrode....short circuit gives you maximum current and often if you have and old style transformer welder with no protection you will completely destroy-melt the electrode if you dont unstick it quickly or turn off the welder...
@@MrHBSoftware I stand corrected. That makes sense!
The screen went black for a second while an add loaded and I thought the breaker popped
I thought it was using all the electricity in the house lol
Was waiting for that the whole time......
seems like you've made yourself a good drill
Parabéns, eu amo o seu canal você é muito inteligente e criativo. Eu também gosto de fazer essas coisas com eletrônica sabe, mas eu não tenho material adequado...

Mmmmh 10kw of energy hey!? Should check the line voltage when shorted
How's it sound shorted...,.
Voltage of transformer probably drops when shorted
@@tejasbhandare251 in a perfect world the voltage of the transformer will be zero. The mains coming in will have a large load and it would drop because of line resistance
Why do not you use it in your workshop? 🤔
bcz its sketchy as fucc
It’s not efficient for one
поверхностное тепловое натяжение материалов товарищу тоже не знакомо =)))) короче супер что сказать
полный трешак как говорится
Disculpa mi amigo, conectaste a 120 o 220 voltios?
