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
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!
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.
@@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.

I love all things UA-cam DIY channels do with old microwave transformers. Makes sense I guess, they are cheap, plentiful, and powerful. Keep up the good work.
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
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
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
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!

more like don't weld wearing clothing that will melt to your skin. Natural fibers are preferred because they aren't likely to ignite as quickly as synthetic fibers will melt. Arc welding produces a lot of ultraviolet radiation, so you should always cover your skin. Wear gloves.
u need to stop sharing panic because this doesnt make radiation and others ...radioactive is magnetron from microwave if u pull true more than 16amp #dontbeasshole
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 👍🏼

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 :)
Too much current, measure your existing factory welder you will see the volts are around 48 to 56 volts AC, try using more turns about 15 to 18 of a slightly thinner wire, and make some taps on the second, third and forth secondary of the mots, and make a rotary switch on a piece of bakelite/thick plexi using flattened copper tubing, add a fan/s, add a breaker 30 amps double pole and indicator, and make a metal case with vents, two casters under the case and a decent handle to wrap cords, then you have a welder, I actually did that, it still works today and it does DC welding too. Gr8 project and video. P.S. with DC you could get a plasma torch, compressor, heating element, and make Plasma cutter.
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
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
@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??
