FYI you can do this with 2 car batteries in series, so 24v. my welder is only 18v at 200 amps, 2 car batteries will put out about the same power 👍As for the BB's, i got them from ebay. search "steel shot blasting". Mine were size s460, about 1mm. I also got the Silicon Bronze from ebay, but it can be pretty expensive. Wisconson Wire Works also sells it for around $6.90 a pound. But you can find broken rolls on eBay for really cheap sometimes. I was using 3/8 carbon gouging rods as electrodes to melt the bb's. Steel or copper would just fuse to the sculpture. As for the batteries you would wire them on series for 24V. If that's not enough get another one or two. You can get used batteries for cheap at junkyards. Like $30 each. You need heavy duty wire rated for 200 amps. Positive on top or bottom doesnt matter. It won't work as well as the welder because the welder has a high voltage start that helps it start an arc at longer distances. You would want to stick both ends in the bb's, THEN connect the wire to power.. It would be a bad idea to just connect the wire in your hand directly to the battery terminal, it will spark and vaporize lead with every strike. You would be better off connecting a short length of wire to the battery terminal and using that to complete the circuit. And instead of just touching the two wires togeather you would want to find a way to securely connect them, and remember you are moving a lot of current so the connections need to be robust, the thinnest part will control how much current flows.

I was a seasonal worker for a rubber works factory when I was 19. We mostly used the metal shot in large high pressure hoses. Looked a lot like a fireman's hose on a hydrolic arm.

i sympathize with your arm incident, when i learned how to ride a bike as a kid one of the first things i did was crash face first into my neighbors mailbox. the bike kept going and i did not.
When I was about 12, I hit a mailbox on my bike that was overhanging the sidewalk. The worse part was that it was near the bottom of a huge hill and I was kind of racing with friends so I was going very fast. I got thrown quite a way and ended up with a lot of scapes and a huge knot on my arm that I at first thought was the bone sticking out. It was terrible.
Those beads are for sand blasting I think, we have those at our Job (where we paint big metal items in a giant furnace) and it's how we quickly clean off old paint or smoothes edges! It's lovely to work with an item that has gone through it.

MAN!!! Dubya Tee EFF! First off, I love your stuff. Second, Ware welding gloves, a face shield, cotton clothes, and a leather bib while playing with molten metal, and/or working with things that may or may not split the water molecules present in the humidity in the air and cause things to literally blow up in your face.Poly ester will literally shrink wrap you and fuse to your skin, once it cools it can only be removed by scrubbing it out to stop infection.
One of your videos popped up in my suggested and, just like when I found #MrBallen, I am hooked and now bingewatching every episode. Awesome channel dude
Every video I'm seeming from this channel ranges in how high the natural volume is and I can't even tell if it's mic quality because each have a pretty solid audio quality to the naked ear.
I was so anxious watching this. You should've worn insulating gloves while doing this. I know of a man who died trying to create lightning patterns with high voltage on a table.
@@deuteriumtritium9700actual high voltage was only in first minutes of the video, when he was melting sand. Steel BBs shenanigans were with a welder, welders are low voltage.
i just found your channel with the defibrillator video and I have to say, that it was just so fun watching you guys test out some "what if" mental questions when you have the items/things. I know this is kinda unrelated to science but, as someone who's going through a rough time, it was really a breath of fresh air watching your content. My mind is constantly attacking me with bad thoughts and just watching you guys experiment and genuinely enjoy what you are doing, gives me hope that I can try to focus and improve my shortcomings, maybe even try some science stuff too. Sorry for this comment, I just really wanted to express how your content has affected an insignificant viewer like me. I hope you guys can continue to do what you love and be careful with those mailboxes!
I wonder what a finer grit steel shot would look like? It might melt a little easier than the s460. Either way, that was an interesting idea you had. Worked out well.
