Part 2 is now out! ruclips.net/video/2056G3czAS0/видео.htmlsi=PqcqxQ2IHPm63-5y
I cover topics in engineering, design and fabrication. I am a Mechanical Engineer with a very diverse background, so tell me what you would like to see next.

Carrier of electrons is maybe also not really true. Closer would be that making plasma requires seperation of the gas into ions and electrons and recombination of the electrons and ions generates massive amounts of heat when plasma is cooled. The surface a plasma impacts will cool the plasma, transferring vast quantities of heat to the surface. Also When oxygen is the gas, it thereafter oxidizes the metal exothermically at a rate accelerated by all the heat in a self-sustaining manner so long as the heat and oxygen concentration are high enough, just like with an acetylene torch with an oxygen rich balance.
The notion of carrier of electrons is however how one quantifies how 'hot' the plasma is, as a perfect measure of how much of the plasma is ionized. The higher the electron/ion concentration, the hotter it is, and the more heat it puts into a surface per volume of plasma when it cools.

I think that is a great explanation. I had a longer explanation, but being this is intended to be more of an into overview, I tried to come up with something that could be understood while being accurate enough to get the point across. I think I cover the oxygen in one of my comments or one of my other videos.
I had a hard time listening to you, was fixated on your ear-rings, your thoughts, do they make you look better, do they make you more intelligent... enough said...
I know I'm not the first to neither ask nor care about your opinion. I won't be the last either. Love to cross paths with you. See if you chirp standing toe to toe.
Watched till about 00:43. Couldn’t get over the ear things. Sorry man.
Thanks for the great explanation of Plasma cutting. I’m seeing low priced Chinese plasma cutters that are “non” high frequency! Can you explain that? Please and thank you!
There are a lot of cheap blowback units on the market too. It really just comes down to quality. I can't speak on specifics, but you just have to read reviews to get an idea of how well they work. Unfortunately, reviews usually don't tell you how it will hold up several years later. However, if you are not going to use it a lot, a cheap blowback unit might be worth it. Also, a High Frequency unit may be OK too if you are not going to put it on a plasma table or use it near sensitive electronics. Most TIG welders are HF, and we deal with by just being carful where we plug it in.
I made a detailed video to cover all of this. ruclips.net/video/2056G3czAS0/видео.htmlsi=vYDiZLjnvvFOFMK4
@@rebelengineering thank you, will check out the video!
What happened to your ears ..... did they get ionized ! What does your mom think about the Olympic rings ? . hahaha cheers from australia
I stopped watching after :08 😵😵
Good explanation thanks
Thank you I learned a few things and I have had my plasma cutter for a year. Good info.
No Prob. I also made a follow up video. ruclips.net/video/2056G3czAS0/видео.htmlsi=3YRFOHmIVjz3wHxw
love that PDR on the shelf, it jumped right off the page for me......cheers, great stuff.....Paul
It is always nice to have paper copies of the important stuff!
I saw that too. Not a popular reference book in the shop. Just FYI, you could have scored more Scrabble points if you would have used a “z” for ionized!
You have not mentioned Pilot Arc plasma cutters those don't need an electrically conductive material to cut.
I am not faliliar with those. I have always use a laser or water jet for nonconductive materials.
Isn't running on pilot arc only hard on the consumables? It was my understanding that the arc starts in the nozzle due to some high frequency wizardry and this circuit is shut down when the arc is established between the torch and the grounded metal you're cutting.
It is pretty fun to play with the pilot arc machines. I had an old thick welding glove that was pretty stiff and "baked" laying around and one quick pulse of the pilot arc cut a perfect hole straight through it. Kinda want to grab a hotdog and see just what it would do to a finger.
@@BurnerJones The pilot arc should shut off as soon as it completes the circuit with the metal being cut. The pilot arc does not have enough current to cut anything. I have Part 2 to this video that explains it all. ruclips.net/video/2056G3czAS0/видео.htmlsi=PqcqxQ2IHPm63-5y
That’s only meant for easier starts through paint and rust. The material must still conduct. If the pilot arc stays in for more than a few seconds it will damage the parts in the torch and it’s not good for the power supply either. I suppose you’ve never used a plasma cutter.
Cogently and comprehensively explained, but have to admit that I found myself distracted by the gauged piercings. I struggle to figure out why some North Americans seem to be so keen to adopt body mods like this. I lived in East Africa for a couple of years in the 70s, and was aware that stretched piercings were then (and may still be) culturally significant among the Masai and other groups as one of the rites of passage marking transition from childhood to adult status. Even so, I recall being flabbergasted the first few times I met people with these in, and I still can’t help wondering why someone would deliberately choose to do this.
excuse me sir, you seem to have stolen the ears off of an african tribal member. im sure he would like those back.
Only thing missing is the plate in the lower lip.
Best tight summary I’ve seen. You have earned a subscription from me 👍😎👍. Looking forward to more videos from you. Now on to the next episode…..
Thanks a lot. I have much more in the works.
Good explanatory video. Subscribed.
Thanks!!
Thank you young man.
Thanks!!
What a freak
All in all quite good, but
Invented by mistake by Kjellberg Finsterwalde when a welding transformer was miss wired, not whoever you mention
4 types of starting the arc, High voltage, high voltage at high frequency, blow back, and scratch start
And the only shocking is if you touch both ends of it, or if touching the nozzle and starting the torch.
Freaks are in
new Sub here, great content, cheers, Paul in Florida
Thanks!
What "shocking truth" did we learn? - CLICK BAIT!!!!👎
Are you saying the content was not useful, or you just did not like the title? If you find my play on words by saying "shocking" to reference the use of electricity to cut metal misleading, you must be disappointed a lot on RUclips.
Ahhhh shocking ok.
I was more shocked by the ear job.
@@rebelengineering I typically click "don't recommend" channels with misleading titles.
Every measurement system is by definition metric.
Ha - true, but why use inches when you can use first convert it to corndogs. It is just so much more visually impactful.
A great deal of this is just wrong.
I'm ignorant of any information on plasma cutting. Your statement, without rebuttal, is even more ignorant. Stay in the basement.
@@talltom1129 Oh, your mom's gonna' be pissed when she discovers that you got the whole household kicked off RUclips.
Slow down. Then take the music and shit can it. Actually shit canning the music may improve the perceived flow of the presentation.
This was my first engineering video. I have slowed down a bit and dropped yhe music a bit in later videos. I will look at is more going forward. Thanks
Lose the 'earrings' and become an adult.
