    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.

      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

    • @BurnerJones

      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.

    • @rebelengineering
      @rebelengineering  9 месяцев назад +1

      @@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.

    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.
