The voltage from the transformer I played with was 800VOLTS! after you remove the secondary, that risk is gone, but with the new windings you instead have a high current (amps). There you have a risk of an arc burn than can hurt your eyes. Please be careful, and if you try to weld use a welders helmet
@@stevehenry1 no high voltage can damage both your eyes and it can also electrocute you badly and the plasma arcs have a large amount of ultraviolet radiation.
@@stevehenry1 and not only that the voltage he uses is only 1 volt and at this voltage it is impossible to create arcs and this voltage can be used for only spot welding and not arc welding and so it is impossible to damage the eyes.
@@manashsaha2312 yeah if you want to arc weld connect 2 heavy duty drill baterys be careful tho the fuses will burn out I personally bypassed the fuses on mine after burning it and melt stuff with graphite rods lol
Two additional hints: 1) It would be a good idea to solder the high current twisted connections, or get some of the various compounds used by electricians for protecting high current connections from oxidation. The bare copper will oxidize from the heat generated by I^^2 x R losses and eventually burn up. 2) The bridge rectifiers used in the battery charger/jump starter are too small, only good for 25 amps each. Each MOT can produce 100 amps at 12 volts. And when paralleling such rectifiers you need some resistance in series to prevent one rectifier from 'hogging' the current. A better choice here would be one big Schottky full wave rectifier rated for 200 amps.. All in all, a good video. Recycling MOTs is a great idea with much potential (maniacal laughter).
Nice work. I've been seeing around these apartments a lot of microwaves getting thrown out. I figure.. I'm bored , retired and i've got a minor in engineering . Not electrical but i can fake that part cant i? Watch for a nationwide Power outage and remember me. I LIKE THAT SONG. Ill have to look it up. yes. THE VOLUME CONTROL WORKS BOTH WAYS PEOPLE. he isnt giving verbal instructions. mute it and listen to the voices like i sometimes do. I hope you've got a sense of humor dude. I get more humorless people with replys like this than you can even imagine. thanks for the video.
This style of high voltage wood burning project has killed at least 50 people in a particularly horrific and agonizing way. These videos never indicate how dangerous the project is.
This will kill you instantly. I have watched it up to welding switcher and it drives me crazy. The microwave transformer has 10 000Volts with about 500mA. Connect several of them together use 240volt switch 7cm from the coil..... The sparking arch can jump up to 50cm to a wet grounded surface. That is absolutely lethal.
A nice hack when playing with these transformer is to take a tape and wrap over pliers on the handle in order not to receive a good jolt when working with power on. When the spark almost seems to “jump” it can actually be quite painful and sometimes result in loss of taste for some foods for a time. Also smell. A good hack is also to wear a nice work glove when connecting anything that is energized also a nice sized rubber shoe will help to insulate you from a electrical jolt. Remember to always use caution
IN THE BEGINING OF THE VIDEO YOU SHOULD MAKE A FEW HOLES ON THE SIDE OF THE BOX SO WHEN USING THE FAN AIR CAN FLOW THRU THE HOLES AND OUT THE BOX BECAUSE THE WAY YOU HAVE IT IS NOT DOING MUCH.
Safety is job number one, no doubt about it. And not only is high voltage dangerous, but so is high current. Think about the consequences of getting a finger ring or watch band acoss the high current, low potential. Or worse yet, a nose ring!!!!
Yes, It´s terrible. But not only the first one - all of them are dangerous because of no safety and verry poor kind of worf. I name it the Hot-Glue-Mafia.
That ventilator, that fan, it has not the least use there, while the air cannot flow while the case is totally closed. A couple of airholes in the sides or best in the bottomplate around the transformer are needed for a fan to work. And the same in that last idea. That coolprofiles are not yet 5% used with the rectifiers so screwed that way. Not to the flat side but only making a lesser thermal contact to some little areas on the side of the ribs. Wich are also screwed because now neither side can allow convection while screwed on to the bottomplate with not even a little airgap. Keeping half of a cm distance (with some washers or so beneath them) would at least allow them to work. So rectifiers must be screwed on to the flat side of the profiles, in that slit that's made for screwing the component on the flat side for some thermal contactsurface. And with washers beneath it air at least cán flow around most of the surface of the ribs. Its airflów that provides heatdrainage. Without that the component is there for nothing, the same as with the incapsolated fan at the beginning
Im not sure about the wire size but i know usually they have around 120 and 150 turns i have many of them and never had that problem. Good luck make sure the wire is very tight if you decide to fix it or is gonna vibrate.
Microwave transformers are terribly inefficient and overheat badly when powered up for any time. Also extremely dangerous to operate when the high voltage winding is left intact. All these "neat" projects are an accident waiting to happen!

Yea there is actually, remember when he first hooked up the leads to the screws, well those screws were on one side of the box that was enclosing it, n from what I seen he burned right through that fucker..I’m mean correct me if I’m wrong

Hi i have a microwave transformer and secondary is removed and I'm using it as a step down transformer. But it get really hot during usage. Is it normal?
I chiseled out the secondary on one transformer in a hurry one winter as a waterpipe in the wall froze due to a cold snap and strong wind. Put a 1 turn secondary in it's place from an old jumper cable and clipping onto the tub spout and the toilet supply valve, thawed the pipe in the wall before it froze hard enough to break the pipe.
Just wondering bro, do you have any schooling or any formal training. I’ve taught myself quite a bit through trial and error and reading books and along with a few YT videos..but I finally figured out what I’m passionate about (inventing, electronics/electrical engineering + woodworking) and I wondering what courses I should look into. If anyone would like to reply that would be most appreciated thanks.
Exposed and dangerous connections, measurements for voltage and current without load, connecting transformers in parallel, without explaining why the wires are connected in such way for primary part and secondary side, using a fan to blow or suck air from or into a box without a secondary port for air circulation, wiring by few twists on screws and not clamps, rings, connectors designed to make a good connection and without the need to apply solder, and so on. This must be some tricks for amateur electrician, assuming he will be alive after performing them, taking into consideration the various connectors of such microwave transformers, high frequency types... Did some connections as a kid, but now I would never do that knowing what I know and how dangerous can be... This kind of videos are using Darwin law, if you know what I mean...

Ok do not ever use a MOT to make fractles. This is not new by any means and has killed many many people. It outputs 2000kv at around 200mah which is like 20x the needed amount to kill you at that voltage. If you do want to make this stuff use a flyback transformer. The issue with MOTs is they run at the same 60hrz frequency which works very well at jaring muscles like your heart. A flyback works at 30khrz to 40khrz
Dreadful music! No verbal or typed information. Tried using microwave transformers to save money on projects, but microwave transformers have such a bad temper when they get upset with someone tampering with them. Got one left, but too scared to plug it in, after the last one blew up nearly popping my ear drums. Have now ordered a pair of red/green colour blind correcting glasses.
Really? I Made spot welder machine with these transformers. It kinda worked but I wasn't happy about the result. I also tried to rewind the secondary to make a high current transformer but it get toooo hot I think i know why. But I didn't hear about these trans can blow up. It's too scary
@@BalkanHandyman Have you ever considered talking the viewer through the project with tips and advice or just info on where you got the pieces from or what would work as a substitute things of this nature?
I was gonna say something about having a saw blade protrude an inch or more above the workpiece, but thank goodness you beat me to the punch! Please do not look into laser w/remaining eye!!
High power transformer :) Get 12 gauge magnet wire and bend into 2 equal halves then use a drill and eye bolt to twist the wires. When done use this wire to rewrap the whole inside of transformer. When done wrapping ,,, cut inner wire connect inner wire to outer wire so you are left with 1 inner wire and 1 outer wire. Pulse this with a Bendini motor. Makes a great inverter when the transformer is hooked up to a plug ins strip. When wired up this way in the transformer it puts out MEGGA POWER. USE a small solar panel to run the motor. High Voltage.
The first project : I wish I knew the steps he was going through. Which was the primary and secondary? Where was the cooling fan getting its air from? What was the liquid he was painting and what was the purpose?
secondary has the smaller gauge windings. backing soda (soda bicarbonate) and water creates the conductivity path. he needed to put intake holes in for a more efficient fan.
Don't try it. Many people have been killed doing this kind of wood burning using micro wave transformers. Never use the existing secondary coils of these transformers ,smash them out and re wind with heavy gauge wire in order to do sensible and safe projects like spot welding or battery charging

@@fredmetcalf 1st rule of using a table saw, use bare hands to feel, and absolutely NO loose clothing, DON'T be distracted, and keep your eyes on the task at hand! Let's just make it through one task at a time by paying attention. Great video!
Another point-The blade should not project thru the wood no more than quarter inch.So if you should slip-you won't get as seriously cut.For the crosscuts your saw needs miter guage slots on its table and a miter guage.I treat using a table saw as serious as using the wood chipper!
Hi will the High quality new microwave oven transformer AC 220V to 11V/7V 140mA/180mA 7-pin of Microwave Oven have the same voltage out put as the old microwave transformer
New microwaves transformers are different but yeah they have the same output or maybe close. To turn them on you have to feed it with the exact same frequency they use when installed in the microwave.
Have you ever put a large horse shoe magnet over a Christmas light bulb? I did it in 67 an engineer from NSP saw it he didn't even say anything at all to me but everyone in my class thought it was kind of neat. I was eleven years old.
Lol you solder crimp terminals? That's like wearing a belt and suspenders. And you went through the trouble of doing that, but taped the fan connections. Hilarious
Don't try it though, it could blow you up, its the dangerous gasses from the battery that could explode. The output from the rectifiers needs to be regulated for it to work correctly.

@@freshpootube They must be put after the transformers if you want to use DC electricity. These are beefy ones, but usually Graetz-bridges handle smaller currents. Also there are bridges that can handle larger voltages, so one could use them to have 115/230 V in DC, but that would be more expensive to control or regulate. It's easier and cheaper to use transformers to lower the mains voltage to our needs and then rectify it than regulate a rectified higher DC voltage. I have to apologise for my first answer, these are indeed rectifiers. I rarely use english and I think I forgot the meaning of "rectifier". Sorry for that, I didn't want to mislead you. In the other hand, you could use four discrete diodes insteead of a beefy rectifier like these, but as I know, diodes that can handle such currents are more expensive than ready-made current rectifiers.
FFS don't do that!! They're there to prevent over current and avoid overheating of the windings. The last thing any of the projects in this video need is less safety.
.....you could obtain a better striking/holding arc, if the pressure (volts) was increased to 48 or so......done this and can weld with .25 inch 7018 or 60 series rods...
Brother you handle that table saw well.. but your blade is way to high.. to help to err on the side of caution make your blade about an 1/8 or less above the top of your materials.. nice trick.. very handy.. thanks.
don't try to solder anything resting on pliers - the metal of the pliers will soak the heat away and the job will take longer . Rest the part on a piece of scrapwood instead.
arc welder is not good unless u make the secondaries with very high temperature resistant cable, which is expensive,. Enough of a suitable gauge cable of this type to rewind say 2-3-4 MOTs=entry level combined MIG/TIG welder. MOT is good for spot welding only. As for charging the car battery - if ur that desperate to charge the battery, better take it off the car and bring it to a place where there is an available car battery charger. This way of charging car battery isn;'t god because voltage is to constant 13.3 or 14volts - capacitors do that job of smoothing out the voltagez.
spot welder failed because you actually need hardened copper for electrodes. helps a lot with better welds. also you are holding the spot welder on for too long. damaging the cells interior chem. 0.5sec's is max required.
@@BalkanHandyman i had the same problems when i built mine. i thought it was the low voltage or all other problems.. turns out it was my normal soft copper electrodes i used. tried tungsten. not advised. hardened copper now. and its perfect.
The fractal burn works best if you use a variac to gradually ramp up the current. I never needed more than 50% voltage to get a good pattern. More than that tended to produce similar results as you got, i.e. flash-vaporizing the conductive solution and generally impeding the burn. Using variac also helps avoid the problem of the transformer heating excessively. A "120 volt" MOT is really only good for 80 to 90 volts at most, a "240 volt" MOT is good for 160 to 180 volts at most. Beyond that, excessive current flows through the primary due to magnetic saturation of the core, and this power will be entirely wasted and dissipated as heat.
Another item of note: These xformers, designed to start ' under load ' / the primaries, are several turns, less than a 'normal' xformer, so be carefull, of leaving it plugged in, WITHOUT A LOAD.....
They say its safe practice that when working with high voltage to always work with one hand behind your back so the path of electricity wont flow through your heart if contacted with a hand and grounded with the other. But what should also be said is you should always wear pants when working with high voltage as well. Baked beans and sausage are only good from a grill.. damn things like a lightening rod...
Is that fan sucking or blowing? and in either case, WHERE IS THE AIR EXHAUST OR INTAKE?? If the close-up of the labels was your concession to safety, it really should have been on the 1st demonstration where the HT winding was still intact.. Take great care folks.
Not enough windings looks like one and a half pet transformer you need more to get voltage up say 3 or 4 turns with 6mm cable that should spot weld better
Very dangerous projects - do not try this at home unless you want to get electrocuted.

@@jtveg Secondaries are in parallel but like you said after, the primary's are re-wired to make the secondary's in phase
You should always use a stick to push the wood through the electric saw. That was scary to watch, you will end up with no fingers doing it like that.
I buy a new Table Saw with push stick 🤪
@@BalkanHandyman Never use gloves near a table saw......I don't stick on safety, but this is IMPORTANT.....
@@fredmetcalf 1st rule of using a table saw, use bare hands to feel, and absolutely NO loose clothing, DON'T be distracted, and keep your eyes on the task at hand! Let's just make it through one task at a time by paying attention. Great video!
thats the least of his problems cutting wood on its side on a table saw is the easiest way to lose a hand
Another point-The blade should not project thru the wood no more than quarter inch.So if you should slip-you won't get as seriously cut.For the crosscuts your saw needs miter guage slots on its table and a miter guage.I treat using a table saw as serious as using the wood chipper!
thanks for putting this up , brilliant starting point , very informative , thank you
Hi will the High quality new microwave oven transformer AC 220V to 11V/7V 140mA/180mA 7-pin of Microwave Oven have the same voltage out put as the old microwave transformer
🤔
New microwaves transformers are different but yeah they have the same output or maybe close. To turn them on you have to feed it with the exact same frequency they use when installed in the microwave.
do you have any video about them
Have you ever put a large horse shoe magnet over a Christmas light bulb?
I did it in 67 an engineer from NSP saw it he didn't even say anything at all to me but everyone in my class thought it was kind of neat. I was eleven years old.
I believe you need rectification to make the stick welding work.
Terima kasih banyak....
Lol you solder crimp terminals? That's like wearing a belt and suspenders. And you went through the trouble of doing that, but taped the fan connections. Hilarious
Lol....thats a STICK welder alright... ;)
when are you going to show us the NEW things to do with a microwave transformer?
very soon 😉

how much amps you get for car charger???
70
Don't try it though, it could blow you up, its the dangerous gasses from the battery that could explode. The output from the rectifiers needs to be regulated for it to work correctly.
4:46 how much voltage output? can use this as welding?
2000 volts no.
So many commercials I missed the show!
Legendary.Thanks for inspiration!
I don’t know anything about electronics outside of house wiring. I liked it and the music too 👍🏻.
thanks
Some vary cool stuff to build with old microwave transformers.
awesome video. UA-cam blows though I swear there was an ad every 2 minutes.
every 2 min, that is crazy 😁
Video maker can decide how much adds there is per video. More adds, more money for the maker, and that is not crazy.
@@Teknopottu I don't see any ads, nor will you if you use Adblock or Adblock+ All those content makers on welfare because of me, I won't sleep well.
I also use the "I don't' care about cookies" Chrome extension to stop those annoying mandatory pop-ups, but I think that may just be a European thing.
I use 'Brave' ....havent seen a UA-cam Ad for months now!! I recommend it.
@@ascher40 I use "UA-cam Premium" 13€/month because I watch hours of youtube per day, also lots of music and mostly on my phone, so not a big investment given the content.
20:00 Are those rectifiers on the heatsinks?
yes they are 😁
@@baladar1353 Is it standard to place them AFTER the transformers?
@@freshpootube They must be put after the transformers if you want to use DC electricity. These are beefy ones, but usually Graetz-bridges handle smaller currents. Also there are bridges that can handle larger voltages, so one could use them to have 115/230 V in DC, but that would be more expensive to control or regulate.
It's easier and cheaper to use transformers to lower the mains voltage to our needs and then rectify it than regulate a rectified higher DC voltage.
I have to apologise for my first answer, these are indeed rectifiers. I rarely use english and I think I forgot the meaning of "rectifier". Sorry for that, I didn't want to mislead you.
In the other hand, you could use four discrete diodes insteead of a beefy rectifier like these, but as I know, diodes that can handle such currents are more expensive than ready-made current rectifiers.
Take the shunts out my friend and you will have more power!
FFS don't do that!! They're there to prevent over current and avoid overheating of the windings. The last thing any of the projects in this video need is less safety.
.....you could obtain a better striking/holding arc, if the pressure (volts) was increased to 48 or so......done this and can weld with .25 inch 7018 or 60 series rods...
Brother you handle that table saw well.. but your blade is way to high.. to help to err on the side of caution make your blade about an 1/8 or less above the top of your materials.. nice trick.. very handy.. thanks.
thanks for watching 😁
don't try to solder anything resting on pliers - the metal of the pliers will soak the heat away and the job will take longer . Rest the part on a piece of scrapwood instead.
Hahaha..thanks for video...
🤪
That last hack is a great way to blow up the car electronics and battery. There would be a good 20 volts coming out of that one..
😁
I hate to say it but I've built all of this stuff years ago. Nothing new really. Good wood workmanship though.
👍
Glenn Krieger @ Shame you have not invented or patented anything tho,hurry up chop,chop!
you should make the booth like the futurama episode. just with a mot instead of circular saws.
Wow the first one was wow man awesome, a whole lot of work for sweetphuck all!
Now that I watched 2 I'm,outta here
arc welder is not good unless u make the secondaries with very high temperature resistant cable, which is expensive,. Enough of a suitable gauge cable of this type to rewind say 2-3-4 MOTs=entry level combined MIG/TIG welder. MOT is good for spot welding only.
As for charging the car battery - if ur that desperate to charge the battery, better take it off the car and bring it to a place where there is an available car battery charger. This way of charging car battery isn;'t god because voltage is to constant 13.3 or 14volts - capacitors do that job of smoothing out the voltagez.
Thankful for a mute option.
🤣🤣🤣
spot welder failed because you actually need hardened copper for electrodes. helps a lot with better welds. also you are holding the spot welder on for too long. damaging the cells interior chem. 0.5sec's is max required.
ok
@@BalkanHandyman i had the same problems when i built mine. i thought it was the low voltage or all other problems.. turns out it was my normal soft copper electrodes i used. tried tungsten. not advised. hardened copper now. and its perfect.
😁
I think that is about the most repulsive music I have ever heard!
i will remove that music 😜
The music is okay. Repeating it for the duration of video is not.
I liked it.
Wow, so many moaners here in the comment section. Thanks for sharing bro, im interested in microwave transformers so for me its a great watch
Spot on all the people who have bought the nanny state ideology, they would still be doing a JHA!
I made an upgrade with my sunko but the current drops, that is why i made this upgrade to increase the current output of the transformer. @
👌
The fractal burn works best if you use a variac to gradually ramp up the current. I never needed more than 50% voltage to get a good pattern. More than that tended to produce similar results as you got, i.e. flash-vaporizing the conductive solution and generally impeding the burn.
Using variac also helps avoid the problem of the transformer heating excessively. A "120 volt" MOT is really only good for 80 to 90 volts at most, a "240 volt" MOT is good for 160 to 180 volts at most. Beyond that, excessive current flows through the primary due to magnetic saturation of the core, and this power will be entirely wasted and dissipated as heat.
Another item of note: These xformers, designed to start ' under load ' / the primaries, are several turns, less than a 'normal' xformer, so be carefull, of leaving it plugged in, WITHOUT A LOAD.....
Bravo 👏 احسنت 🇰🇼
They say its safe practice that when working with high voltage to always work with one hand behind your back so the path of electricity wont flow through your heart if contacted with a hand and grounded with the other. But what should also be said is you should always wear pants when working with high voltage as well. Baked beans and sausage are only good from a grill.. damn things like a lightening rod...
Good idea but wood is a fire hazard
😁
Is that fan sucking or blowing? and in either case, WHERE IS THE AIR EXHAUST OR INTAKE??
If the close-up of the labels was your concession to safety, it really should have been on the 1st demonstration where the HT winding was still intact.. Take great care folks.
sucking
Not enough windings looks like one and a half pet transformer you need more to get voltage up say 3 or 4 turns with 6mm cable that should spot weld better
