    At about 8:20 you had the cable going through the transformer and It looks like you could easily pass it through at least one more transformer. So I’m wonder what would happen if you did? Would the voltage double like having a second turn? If so the draw for each primary would be reduced right? Maybe you could chain a bunch of them to get to the million amps.

      Yes he could and that's what many builders do when making a DIY arc welder. It will double the voltage as it will make the part of wire trough the new transformer act as a new voltage source in series. To increase the current you reduce the number of turns trough each transformer.

The resulting field is so ridiculously powerful, the metal is accelerated to supersonic speeds (i.e. mach 1) and causes even dissimilar materials to weld.

      Thes tuff he's using is mains gauge wire as made obvious by the thiccc strands, automotive 000 has a finer core makeup and weldflex even more so whilst still haveing the ability to carry the same current but being more flexible. In saying that the stuff he has would be 10x cheaper than weldflex so it makes sense why he went with it.

I too wanted to save the secondary, so I cut the welds. I currently use trigger clamps to hold it together but I have designed a threaded rod and unistrut clamp thing to hold it together better. I also might upgrade to 3/0 XHHW and NEMA 2-hole pad copper compression lugs. It's a fun project to burn, test, and destroy various things, and having access to very high currents without the need for large quantities of power is nice. The output voltage of mine is 1.87vrms.

    • @Ygr3ku
      @Ygr3ku Рік тому +2

      So you're saying (if I remember correctly from school that was WAY WAY long time ago), that if u have, let's say, 3 thinner wires, all the same length (let's say 1m) and you make them each at 2 turns (as Medhi has it in the end) and connect the ends together, you will get 3 times the voltage but all at the same amperage (since they're in parallel)? Do I remember it correctly?
      This is not necessary a technical question, but more of a curiosity to know if I remember stuff correctly.

    • @OleJanssen
      @OleJanssen Рік тому +13

      @@OleJanssen Oh, I see. So it's not like having 3 parallel wires to multiply the voltage, because all those loops "feed" from the same transformer.
      And if I understand it right, in order to have more voltage, you'll need another transformer that feeds the same loops.
      Did I get it right this time? :D (hopefully)

      @OleJanssen Рік тому +3

      @@Ygr3ku No, the voltage is never increased if the windings of any transformer are connected in parallel. In order to do that, they would have to be connected in series. When doing that, one would basically turn for example three coils with two turns into one coil with 6 turns. However, having them in series also means that the current is no longer split between the coils, so all the current has to flow through all the coils. In this case, a system like that would probably go up in smoke and flames pretty quickly.

      Now, what I've meant to say, was to make those coils larger and in that extra space include another transformer, feeding the same loops that transformer 1 feeds. Will that increase current or voltage?

    I did 2 turns of 2/0 gauge nickel clad copper with crimped lugs on the ends and got 1.8v @ 1900A with the lugs bolted. I used switch gear wire with hundreds of strands so it would be very flexible, but large car audio wire would also work well. It would trip a 20A breaker after about 5 seconds, so ended up powering it with a 30A breaker and 10 gauge. Eventually made a contact welder with it using an interval timer and a large solid state relay (on the primary side obviously).

    Wow. As someone who's been doing a lot of work with power supplies and struggling a little with getting an intuition for how inductive circuits behave, this video was amazing.
    You can sit around with equations all day, but it only helps you refine an existing idea for solving a problem. It doesn't help you think outside the box - only an intuitive understanding can do that. You've completely re-written my intuitions for the relationship between magnetic flux and current, and it's already got me thinking about how to design the power supply I'm working on.

      I use 0 to 4/0 awg wire for car audio. The cables are a bit more expensive, but they are much more flexible than any welding cable and are over sized. If you need more flexible OFC check out knukoncepts. They have the highest amperage capacity and flexibility in the industry. Careful though, they sell both CCA and OFC so make sure you get the right one.

    12:30 Not only that, but Mehdi actually became some sort of a demigod who can't be damaged by electric powers whatsoever.

    Although very whacky (yes, I enjoy the schtick), I admire someone who owns more than the 3 oscilloscopes that I do (and his are all modern; 2 of my 3 are archaic in comparison). Back in college in the early 1970s, I worked testing high voltage switchgear and we sometimes did late-night testing (and high-speed movies) of certifiable >1Million Amps on switchgear using an MG set to reduce the voltage and provide a proper buffer to not mess too much with the city power feed. Of note, great care was needed to set up the supply lines (heavy braided copper) in a physical manner to ensure that the EMF didn't help push the switch's blade out of the socket. Results recording was via multi-channel light-beam strip-chart recorders. Power electronics can be really cool (well, hot actually...).
