    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.

      just a quick perusal of the comments show how badly people understand ANY of this.
      but dont you worry, as an EE, you have a career of doing the same old same old ahead of you. you will forever be too busy to actually think about what is actually going on in there, where we cant see, smell, taste, touch, or otherwise interact... but just rely on theory.

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 Před rokem +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 Před rokem +12

      @@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)

      @@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?

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.

It doesn't help you think outside the box - only an intuitive understanding can do that.

    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).

    Mehdi, we love you and support you in everything that you do! You are the single reason I’ve gotten into electronics, now I have an oscilloscope, function generator, a few power supplies and am designing my own circuits !! Thank you Mehdi

    Part of my job involves testing industrial circuit breakers with a high current test set. It works off the same concept shown in the video. Our largest test set is capable of 50kA if you can get the resistance low enough.
