Rulof my friend I really appreciate showing this type of technological content that is very little found on UA-cam. The young folk should learn more about practical cases and how the backbone of industry works and not only do small projects with IoT or other modern stuff. Coming from a Power Electronic Engineer which is Specialized in Welding Machine design you deserve a big Like.
Wow, I'm so happy to have found you. This is exactly what I've been searching for. I'm no electrician and certainly not an engineer but I am a builder/tinkerer who's surrounded by a sea of discarded electronics just floating around for the taking. And I've long suspected with the right knowledge and direction one can build just about anything the big companies want to charge an arm and a leg for. All while our Earth is being poisoned by this disposable life style. But unfortunately there are few creators putting out the kind of content that will help demystify these kind of projects. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to see what else you've crafted
@theyoutubeguy1545 If you are surrounded by a sea of discarded electronics then you should just mine them for gold and get rich and Buy whatever you want
Information like this is very much needed thank you! It’s unfortunate that so much information has either been kept trade secret or made so complicated that the average person is deterred from even attempting it! This forces people to spend money instead of developing their skills to do things cheaply!
I just discovered your channel by chance and I must say, I like it. Actually I like the fact that you try using whatever you have around to practically make useful tools and stuffs. That's the Mc Gyver spirit that I've been trying to acquire for years... But I'm still struggling because it's so hard to polish my knowledge in all fields without being naturally smart, practicing often enough and while your brain is leaking away.So keep it up, keep inspiring us, keep it simple with schematics on the fly. We definitely need more Mc Gyvers to keep re-inventing the wheels. Because we've taken it for granted, because buying stuffs, new tools cuts through the chase, but is not as rewarding from a personal DIY perspective. So, thanks!
One bit of information that may be useful to any of you who are wanting to recreate this project: You can DIY everything but the handpiece. The reason (other than it would be unnecessarily difficult to build) is because the electrode has a little nugget of hafnium oxide imbedded (which is a consumable btw). It's purpose is to more freely donate electrons (or whatever the verbiage was). The better explanation is it makes it possible to ionize dry compressed air into a plasma, otherwise you would have to run Argon (or some other mix of easily ionizable gas) through your rig and when it's not necessary, why bother with all that hassle and expense. I spent a lot of time fucking around before I realized this.
True, But see how intelligent you became for all that FAQing around? I found a couple $100 for a cheapie. Still you educate me (all your readers)on what is in there.(has a warrantee too btw) It interests me to consider making my plasma more powerful...
@@fredymredy Sure, I'm not on UA-cam as much as I WAS, but I'll answer any question that you have. The only thing that I have actually done in reality is make a HF start circuit, which worked pretty well. I ended up using a home made ZVS flyback circuit where the output was attached across a home made HV capacitor (made of transparency film and aluminum foil rolled up and then wrapped with plumbers tape and filled with hot glue.) and a spark gap. I had that discharge through a transformer core with the secondary as the tig supply. (to give you the isolated HV starting spark at the electrode) I think this is pretty much what the guy in the video did. But you know, its always easer to be able to ask someone direct questions... this shit is hard to figure out on your own.
Hay países donde no se tiene acceso ,recuerdo por el 2007 arme una tig con hf que encontré de un aficionado de EEUU ,estoy en argentina y eran carísimas.y no las tenía cualquiera
This is one of those things I would strongly recommend not building diy but you did and it works so I'm impressed none the less. But holy moly I cannot stress enough how dangerous this type of thing is
@@elliottdiedrich3068 Yes, but one should very least understand how the damn thing works and dangers that come with it, like how you can easily kill your self with a tig torch if you fuck up even with just the usage of it. I agree most things are pampered too much when risks are very little but high voltage and combining them with current is one of those things you dont want to fuck around and find out. This comes from guy who knows about electricity enough not to get killed (so far), has gotten shocked several times due mistakes my own or others and DIY guy with several bit sketchy jerry rig builds.
Very good ! Give this guy his own TV show, someone , anyone , I thought I was good with a simple tank less water heater a/c d/c / propane, I'll keep watching and learning keep it up.
This is awesome. I always wanted to build a battery powered plasma cutter to use out in the field without having to have a generator. Oh yeah and I am a new subscriber!!
Its damn dangerous, thats what it is! shorting a welding machine output with that high diameter cable wrapped a few times, its insane he can get away with this!
Iv been a fan all the way back when you made the wrist mounted rebreather and the diy electric outboard mounted to your kayak. I didn’t have an account Back then and couldn’t for the life of me remember the channel name, you popped up 2 days ago and I instantly subbed… I’d love to see you revisit those videos mentioned and potentially and make them better. Glad to see your still making videos man, keep it up!
Very good ! I already build my self home made rectify welding machine using Microwave transformers , and a mig FCAW welding machine too using the same transformers .
Puurrrrfect, I been fantasizing about something like this for about a year, but now I have a lead of how to do it, I know myself electronics but have some doubts that you just have made me clear, so thanks! great video
Rulof, this is a great video and I truly enjoyed not only the project but also your personality and outside-the-box thinking. I recycle components out of discarded electronics as well and use them in my projects and builds, and I can see now why my friends want me to start filming content - after watching this I'm inspired to share my work as well. Keep on with the great work, you've earned a sub and inspired another creator. Your English is really good by the way, I can see how much work you've put into it. Awesome job describing the why of the process to people as well, not just the how to of it. Strong work my friend
DO NOT TRUST THIS GUY!, see my main comment post, I am all in for sensible designs, but this is clearly a very stupid design, get advice from people who do know, like say EEVBLOG, Electroboom and other guys like that, this is an idiot with a soldering iron.
14:50 A+ for following the schematics correctly and the effort. F- for not wearing proper eye protection. You are a professional, and that means the burden of responsibility is all yours to lead by positive example.
With the "don't ask me why" at 13:01, and the seemingly pointles caps at 13:14 that don't show the polarity in the diagram (electrolitics, one conected directly to the AC input, the other ones would get at least the 0.6v drop from the diodes at best, and full reverse voltage at worst), this could maybe be in the rectifier
A little question for anyone: if you only need just a hig voltage, it's not the same use the mechanism of a microwave? You have around thousands volts, a huge capacitor and a transformer could make an arc of 4kv ...... 🤔🤔????
amazing somersaults, great results. but tinted goggles are a must; and a serious serious serious disclaimers for when dealing with voltages 220v and above
Buen trabajo, muy creativo de tu parte. Gracias y esperamos mas videos con tus ideas geniales. Good job, very creative of you. Thank you and we look forward to more videos with your great ideas.
dude is straight out of a iron man movie ! 😳 , I didn't think the heat shrink would take the heat, I think I would upgrade the nails to tungsten. His use of heat sinks is epic . 🤔 maybe in his next video he could do something easy like a diy space ship 😅
Я и не думал что принццип работы плазмореза совсем иной чем я его представлял,думал что плазма образуется от нагрева электрической дуги😳.Очень популярно всё объяснили и разложели по полочкам👍
плазма образуется от электрической дуги и зависит от напряжения и тока постоянного 2000 в+ ( в обычном случае 5000-8000 градусов С , в струе газа она сжимается должен быть вихрь при сжатии давлнием 3-5 + Атм. газа повышается т 20000 С и выше. ) процесс резки идет просто воспламенив дугу она греет металл а воздух выдувает расплав. но есть схемы на обычном трансформаторе.
Hey Rulof, Great stuff mate. You just added a subscriber from Australia. Could you please consider a project showing us how to convert a DC Tig welder to AC/DC Tig welder that can be used for welding Aluminium?
Hello! 13:15 Could you describe how to connect the electrolytic capacitors to the rectifier bridge. Where are the pluses and where are the minuses electrolytic capacitors?

FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER
yo man you rock i totally dig the manner in which you explain and deal with all the processes necessary to complete projects
This is a full fledged project nice job, the time and effort put into this is crazy. Great video

I want to recreate this and the tig welder, but im going to need some advice. Is there a way that we can stay in contact?

One day this guy will s gonna be a giant UA-camr I can already tell
Already subscribed
Nope, I see a lot of snakeoil, tape and BS, he wont last long.
This is incredible! Good use of parts for sure!
Never have I seen anyone make so much out of so little! Respect!
Love how so much of this is either cheap to buy or easily made in a home shop. Makes it much more accessible than store bought plasma cutters. ❤️
Thank you so much I have been trying to figure out the difference between plasma cutting machines and welders for quite some time now.
You are the ultimate MacGyver!
Well done!
Love from Austria 💪🏼
This is one of those things I would strongly recommend not building diy but you did and it works so I'm impressed none the less. But holy moly I cannot stress enough how dangerous this type of thing is
Going outside could be dangerous too if you don't pay attention. Just don't do nuthin stupid!

Dont build it, unless you want an house fire. Think about it, think its a good idea to short a welding machine output with thick wire?
This man can make anything!
Its damn dangerous, thats what it is! shorting a welding machine output with that high diameter cable wrapped a few times, its insane he can get away with this!
The thing that he made this from scratch is impressive...keep it up

Wow that's great, I was just about to make a CNC plasma cutter, this is perfect!
i dont know about how safe but your not a dummy and understand electronics so thumbs up man. thats what i call a dyier
Fantastic work and understanding, not just buy parts, actually built. Very well done
You did a great job. Congratulations. Now it's time to make a welding machine from UPS. 🙂
Great project!
Wonderfull and simple.
Thanks for bringing it to us in a so simple and direct way
Un millón de "GRACIAS" por sus valiosos aportes y un saludo desde Monterrey, México.
I like the simple design of the plasma tourch. Good job!
Love this idea and would try it myself if I knew my wife wouldn't kill me for doing so!
Thanks Rulof for the information! :)
Puurrrrfect, I been fantasizing about something like this for about a year, but now I have a lead of how to do it, I know myself electronics but have some doubts that you just have made me clear, so thanks! great video
The algorithm is working!!! it's me your new fan!!
This is awesome. I immediately starting thinking about what I could use to build my own. Excellent job man.
You are an inspiration and a hero. Thank you for being you.

fun and interesting explanation of the process for making plasma! great work.
I love it! Thanks for all your videos. I'm sorry they made you make a new channel! I see great things in your future. Howdy from Texas
I gotta watch this and pay attention. My man is giving out free high current control candy.
Nice tutorial, your channel is very underappreciated, keep up the good work.
14:50 A+ for following the schematics correctly and the effort. F- for not wearing proper eye protection. You are a professional, and that means the burden of responsibility is all yours to lead by positive example.
Finally someone doing that on YT, thank you!
You are a perfect man
Very proffitional teacher
Thank you
So cool, it's hard to believe how you make cheap replacement for expensive details 🤯
This channel always makes me smile - loved it ever since the ruby video!
GRATIFICANTE assistir este vídeo! Vou em um futuro próximo tentar replicar seu projeto ! Obrigado .
Bravo chef, de l'électronique DIY bien expliqué, unique et excellent. You'r a boss!
Wow I did not know it was that easy to do this.
Good job
Astig!!! So Great! for those Who want that machine but no money to buy expensive machine. Thumbs up!!!🎉
I loved the introduction (with that stop motion)
Muy buena demostracion y se puede hacer que buena soldora plasma que bien que suelda y corta gracias Arg
the flyback arrestor valve is impressive
I bet that is one bad ass plasma cutter
WOW!!! You are BRILLIANT!!!
Rudolf, your hackery is legendary.
Hello you did a great job.I have welding inverter schematics from 120amp to 200amps
jan mening tenan cak,mugi dadi ilmu seng barokah,samean pancen ngeten👍🥳🎉🎊
I'd like to see ElectroBoom give his thoughts on your electrical creations
With the "don't ask me why" at 13:01, and the seemingly pointles caps at 13:14 that don't show the polarity in the diagram (electrolitics, one conected directly to the AC input, the other ones would get at least the 0.6v drop from the diodes at best, and full reverse voltage at worst), this could maybe be in the rectifier

🤔🤔????
SUPER MACHINE!!!!
i want to get to this level of skill one day thank for sharing
questo ragazzo ha proprio talento da vendere
Great idea bro…. I’m gonna check out the tig machine next…. Thanks for the info….. love it
That's pretty cool. Nice job.
Necessity is the mother of invention nice work!
Gracias por compartir excelente 👌🏻 información 😊 saludos cordiales desde México ❤
He is the goddest of engineering diy
Very cool what you've done with mostly 'waste' products.
I am fascinated, that is exactly my style, love your video
You are a mad lad, very impressive.
I enjoyed watching and learning.
Very, very cool. Earned a sub from this guy.
This is just so cool!
I enjoyed every second of it. Finally, I have a use for my old stick welder.
Bravo. İzlemiş olduğum en güzel videolardan biriydi. Başarılarının devamını temenni ederim...
Kinda like Rulofs accent. Reminds me of Boris Bedenoff from Bulwinkle and Rocky the squirrel cartoon. Rulof actually knows stuff 😊
The "fault valve" you made is usually made with a spark gap in such high voltage circuits. Your solution is much more interesting!
❤❤From Algeria, I salute you. I learned a lot from you. May God grant you success in what He loves and pleases. Thank you, hero
Bro, u just gained another subscriber . A single vid and I m hooked, going to watch the rest one at a time while I cant wait for your next one. ❤
excelente trabajo que hiciste un saludo desde Colombia, Barranquilla😃
Thank you I will try to make this and let you know how it turns out.
amazing somersaults, great results.
but tinted goggles are a must; and a serious serious serious disclaimers for when dealing with voltages 220v and above
sweet thats nice little project. im all about saving money because i dont ave much of that slippary hard to stash cash. lol great video

You are a genius
Respectfully👍✌️
Simply Amazing
Realizzazione molto interessante, grazie!
What was the name of that coil? Sounded like you said Zener and I know that is wrong. Can you point me to where I can get one?
Look for argon arc ignition coil online, they are the ones he used! But I still have no clue what Word he said there? CER, Zener, ??
You are killin me over here "Rulof is how to make"
THIS is true entertainment!
this is awesome well done
Молодчина! Проделал большую работу! 👍+ Подписка...
Wow,,,big rock torch
شكراً لك موضوع جدير بالمشاهده والاحترام .
dude your amazing! thank you for sharing cant wait for your next build
Hello!
13:15 Could you describe how to connect the electrolytic capacitors to the rectifier bridge. Where are the pluses and where are the minuses electrolytic capacitors?
Muy bien amigo gracias
excelente video. gracias por compartir
Great video! Hope I can visit your shop one day.
