Looks good all the way up to the end, (I agree this is not for beginners it is dangerous on many levels), the only two things that should improve performance are a solid secondary wire instead of the three twisted together, and shape the electrode ends into a beveled point to help concentrate the heat at the output.
Yeah, recorded clips for part 2 was messed up! Couldn't post the final version of the welder. But safety measures have been taken. Welding leads over wooden bares and power sent through momentary switch
This is truly a DIY video and video is showing exactly what he is doing and gives warning as well. Safety First!!. Safety First!!.Thanks for making this video. Just a question. what gauge wire are you using in the secondary windings? subscribed!
I am finding that 4AWG wire, meant for welding leads, works nicely, since it is much more malleable, and easier to work with, than most other wire (the biggest issue I have found with using welding-leads wire, is that it is not as easily found for free). The gauge, 4AWG, also happens to be a good size to fit the MOTs that I have used. Your comment is from a year before I saw, and replied to it. I wonder if in that time, you have found any information that you think could help us in this popular project?
Nice work. Maybe it would be a good idea to specify which voltage is measured at the output for security concern (less than 30V?) . And what about putting the metal core of the transformer to ground still for security concern ? Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Excellent demonstration of best tools for a DIYer.....determination and patience. Keeping focus on the prime objective...to make batteries... not to fill a toolbox or shop table. Thumbs up
For extracting that metal sheets from between windings i really suggest using nail grinded in way that it's head fits between windings, in this way you won't damage screwdrivers and u have more area pushing on these plates
The cable could be better. the less insulation the better. I experimented alot. The wire for welding or a 12/24v car cable would be good too. just take 35mm wich is rated for 800 amps. The isulation on each wire makes it less appropriate and blocks alot of power. With the right cable power will be double. i measured it so it is no bs. I melted a screw in 15 seconds with recycled cable, power was 300 amps. With the car cable it instantly melted in half, power on meter was 600 amps.
Is it a microwave transformer? Is it 220v transformer? I own a 220v. What is the gauge of the black wire that will serve as the electrode? How many laps should I take to get a certain amperage?
I'm still wondering how you're able to hold on to the copper ends whilst residential 110 is running through it and not get burn all tf up. There's no motherboard or fuses or anything. I built one just like yours but havnt even turned it on yet. Sketchy af
The danger is located within the main coil. That's where the 120V AC is running. But within the secondary coil I made using the thick cable, there is no direct contact to the main 120V coil. So you basically have two coils next to each other without wire to wire connection. That's why, the secondary coil is only induced magnetically leading to very low voltage (~2V) that can't shock you, but extremely high current (600A + depending on input voltage and number of secondary coil windings) that can melt metal
I always found a gooduse of the magnatron inside a microwave, attach it to a belt and cover it with your jacket. Then casually open your jacket to reveal it in public whilst bellowing "behold, the wonder of......the magnatron"
Buen video y bien ilustrado. Mi consulta es la siguiente. Cuanto voltaje y cuanto amperaje te está entregando ese transformador con la modificación que le hiciste.
Este es un transformador de 120 V CA, 60 Hz. Obtengo 1,6 V en la salida y más de 600 amperios de corriente. Puede hacer más devanados para obtener una corriente más alta, pero la volatilidad disminuye. Entonces, el transformador de mayor volatilidad hará un mejor trabajo
You took the hard way to remove the high voltage secondary windings from the power transformer. Cut the core at base then easily remove the windings and salvage the magnet wire at the same time. There are videos on utube showing the procedure. Your procedures puts the primary windings at risk of damage to the enamel causing shorts in the primary windings.
First you need more safety in your design make a complete enclosure and for the switches drill a hole trough the wood, also the switch for power to the electrodes should be a button switch press for power and release, then make an arm from wood for the electrodes.
All of what you said have been done! This is part #1 of the build, but I messed up the recorded clips for part #2 so couldn't post it! These switches are for powering the fan and the transformer ON and OFF without having to unplug the whole system from the wall. That will also prevent the transformer to get hot when it's not being used. The switch for "weld" doesn't have to be a press button! It just has the be a momentary switch so power is sent for a short period of time. I wished I had posted the final part! People disliked because it's unfinished and looks unsafe!
oNLY 1 LOOP? You could double (or triple) your output power with another loop, maybe 3 loops... 6v output then and nothing to worry about as you would need over 40v before you get electrocuted. I wouldn't be worried about a fuse either as you would need a 15a fuse, maybe 20a even. So, 15 amps will kill you anyway before that fuse blows out. Shorting (welding) will draw a lot of current on the primary requiring such a large fuse and will not save you anyway...
It's a 3 wire cable that I removed from the microwave, it's a 12/3 (12 AWG X 3). I would recommend using a single cable preferably a thicker one like 6 or 4 AWG wire, remember the thicker the wire is the safer it is from overheating and catching on fire
@@YvonSmart Hi Yvon thanks for the info thou I forgot to asked how many meters of cable did you use 2 or 3 meters.Also where dud you buy the copper or brass you cut to size to make the welding tool and the coil brass to make the tips.😊👍
My wire was about 1 meter long, but you can choose your own suitable wire length depending on your application. Just know that the wire length affect the current output as wires this thick tend to add unnecessary resistance. So the shorter the better. Note: if you have to use a longer wire, you can do more winding around the block to increase the current. For the copper wire: amzn.to/3OQ0J6A @@laurencemaud8205
These transformers come in 120V and 220/240V, the current does not matter. it will work on any wall outlet (Just use the right voltage for the right transformer). The transformer steps down the voltage to very low voltage at the output (~1V - 4V) depending on how many windings you made, with a very high current ~600amps - 1200amps
ok, but . You must apply some mechanical force with electrode so electrical energy will create consistent welds between sheets and battery. This tapping you do is not best way.
Doesxthe job. But the most untidiness build I've ever seen. Why have 2 power switches. 230v fan in parallel to transformer. When transformer is on then you know cooling fan is on.
Yes, the black thick cable just winds inside the transformer casing, it does not connect directly to anything. You get a high current output just form the magnetic induction of the coil when you power the transformer. You have to try to understand. The output (thick black cable) have very low voltage, but extremely high current, so it's less likely to shock you, but be careful with the 120V/230V connection (that's where the danger is).
Yes, at first it seem confusing but trust me, the thick wire just goes in a winding through the block without any direct wire to wire connection. That winding forms a coil above the other induction coil inside the transformer. Now when the primary coil (thin coper wires with way more windings) is connected to power, it generates a strong magnetic field and any other coil besides it gets inducted. The voltage on the secondary coil however is very low and the current is very high causing the short circuit to generate enough heat to melt metal. The more windings you have on the thick wire the more current is generated. It's just the law of magnetic induction
@@YvonSmart Another thing, I just got a junk microwave and I safely took it all apart disconnecting the capacitor and just storing it somewhere safe. I saw that the transformer was mounted to the body of the microwave. Does the body of the transformer get energized when turned on, and if so why don't I get shocked when I touch the metal of the microwave?
@@ironwolf3699 The transformer is mounted to the case for grounding purposes, it does not get energized at all unless there is a fault (like a broken live wire resting on it). The magnetic induction between the two coils is wireless and the OUTPUT voltage is very low and shock safe. But I wouldn't get use to touching it though, because one mistake and you touch the input section (120v or 230v depending on region). This is not a safe build at all, I took further precautions to insure safety, unfortunately I lost the footage of the final build
What voltage are you getting at secondary winding's? As pointed out by several people, dangerous as hell but if it works no worries. I would be a bit concerned about your kids though, my grandson wants to 'me help' all the time
I power with 120V AC, it outputs 2.6V, and a pick of over 600 amps! It's pretty safe right now. I finished the build, now it's covered up, and two wooden beams used for welding.
Да, как видите, это не законченная постройка. Все еще открыто и небезопасно. Я еще даже не добавил электроды и корпус. К сожалению я потерял клипы для части 2
that way, the fan is always ON and noisy even when the transformer is not hot which is annoying. So being able to control both separately is a good thing

Horrible choice of music. Can get people who are trying to pay attention to what you are showing to go into epilepsy. Good info on making the spot welder, just take the music out or change it to something calmer.
@@elnikee measure the current, you need like 600 amps or more if you are using 0.2mm thick nickel strips. To increase the current, do more winding, it decreases the output voltage and increases the current. Some non pure nickel strips are hard to work with and the welding surface needs to be clean
@@YvonSmart iT is the other way around more secondary windings means higher voltage lower current, I’m thinking to switch the power with an arduino and a triac on mainsto control the pulse length
Hola!! Muy bien su soldador estoy por construir siguiendo sus pasos Como se llama la lamina de metal que coloca en las baterías para soldar?? Saludos desde Venezuela...
Se llaman "tiras de níquel". Gracias por ver el video! La construcción aún no se completó. ¡Recomiendo usar una caja de seguridad y barras largas en los cables de alimentación porque se calientan mucho! Más tarde descubrí que usar un interruptor momentáneo es mejor para soldar.
It does not matter you can use either one, the only thing build it with a delay timer and a trigger button and make sure not to expose the hot wires as he did.
Ciao, ho fatto tutto questo e ho persino aggiunto un involucro ed elettrodi migliori nella parte 2 di questa build. purtroppo non sono riuscito a caricare
@@YvonSmart Thanks! I already tested it (no risc no funn lol) unfortenately my spot welder is too weak! wrapped the cable onle once with an 35mm² cable. Used cheap aliexpress controller (tried all possible settings. The pin needle are also from aliexpress (they should not be the problem). 3 times wrapping around the reansformer does not work since too thick. I am doing something wrong?i also removed the metal plates in the transformer. Basically all good sofar except the weakness.
@@zondepa5537 Use slightly thinner gauge wire so you can do more windings (wraps). the more windings you have, the lower the voltage will be, so the current will be high! mine has only 1.6v and over 600 amps. What metal plates did you remove?
Yeah, honestly I did not expect the video to even get attention! It was a kinda "playing around thing", but I should have really made it better and also video only shows part #1. I later on completed with an enclosure and long bars of wood plus a momentary switch.
Too many safety concerns here. Transformer chassi is not properly grounded, no fuse or current limiting, holding electrode wires a no-no even as low voltage as these may be, it is potentially deadly, especially if the transformer primary winding shorts to the secondary winding for some reason. Also those wires will get red hot if you accidentally stick them and can't let go. Burns hurt badly for a long time!!! Input voltage to output voltage is as simple as the turns ratio of input turns to the output turns. Look it up, in any basic electronics training course, current like wise. Be safe not stupid. Stupid gets you killed. No safety shielding around project either. I'm an electronics instructor and these types of videos make me cringe. I've know of one person who got killed messing with a microwave transformer building a "Jacobs Ladder" experiment. He touched both output electrodes with a finger on each hand to see how much of jolt he would get. The moron killed himself with direct high voltage through his heart. Either do it right and safe or don't do it at all.
If this is how you made your spot welder ( soldering ...cutting and hammering copper wire coil out) , I dread the outcome of your spot welded battery packs when/ if you make them. Hope you learn some basics first before showing off on RUclips !!
Do you know how many of this same process shown on videos are on RUclips? For the outcome, the battery packs I made with this spot welder are just fine! I just had to make a case for the spot welder and two wooden bars for the output leads. My chinese factory made spot welder died, but this is still rocking. Again this cost $0 and I showed how to make one. Now sorry if the build did not look professional then i'm not there yet. What you mean by learn some basics? What are the basics? What was wrong?
I've been an engineer for over 40 years(IEEE Senior Member) and see nothing wrong with KingYS Tech's techniques. It's what you call resourcefulness. Have you ever seen the first prototypes of some the greatest inventions of the 20th century, like the cyclotron, they were much more kludgey than KingYS Tech. Besides being a resourceful and talented guy, he looks to be a great father too. I would like to meet him some day.
Very unsafe, no fuses, thermal cut outs, or even a metal chassis. Remember that it is not the volts that could hurt you, it's the amps. Hope you understand V and I?
This was part #1, unfortunately I did not upload no final part! This is a $0 build! Those fancy cut-off circuits and fuses are not mandatory. High voltage is usually what hurts people but amps produces heat (so can also hurt, but only if you touch the shorted erea)
@@YvonSmart Not true. You can get a 'tickle' from 18~50,000v ignition system and have no lasting effect. Couple of amps at 110v can kill you. You need the amps to 'push' current through body
your bodys resistance makes it hard for low voltage to pass through. enough voltage from a powerful source will kill you if you get it through your body. Hope you understand V , I and R lol
Why oh WHY do people think it's a good idea to put loud, obnoxious, tacky music in the background while demonstrating a technical process. Just because you have horrible taste in music, you don't have to subject everyone else to it. Huge thumbs down!
What the hell........ you are killing people.......... yes for beginners this sound easy but no precaution..... it is not safe .... the way this guy do... this is a very danger way..
To the people who do not understand Physics (electricity is a part of Physics) this project may look very intimidating. The secondary winding may carry, not more than 2~2.5 volts AC at a high rate of current depending on the secondary winding which is harmless to human.This is the cheapest spot welder costing absolutely nothing to assemble. Thank you for your demonstration.
Looked at a bunch of videos .yours the only one that showed exactly how to hook up everything. Really good video. Thanks.

have dude while does not put the fan directly with the transformer and only used an swith thank you
The fan is loud and the transformer doesn't get hot when you re not using it. So it's better to control it yourself
That's really high end shit! lol
Hola!! Muy bien su soldador estoy por construir siguiendo sus pasos
Como se llama la lamina de metal que coloca en las baterías para soldar??
Saludos desde Venezuela...
Se llaman "tiras de níquel". Gracias por ver el video! La construcción aún no se completó. ¡Recomiendo usar una caja de seguridad y barras largas en los cables de alimentación porque se calientan mucho! Más tarde descubrí que usar un interruptor momentáneo es mejor para soldar.
Muchas gracias por la informacion, siga adelante con su proyecto, estar pendiente de seguirlo y me suscribo a su canal
danger
Is that 120 or 230 v.
It does not matter you can use either one, the only thing build it with a delay timer and a trigger button and make sure not to expose the hot wires as he did.
I have tried 110 it dont work .but can u run 220 on 110 former
Salve!Aggiungete un relè temporizzato x regolare il tempo di puntizzatore!Cosi bruciate solo i contatti di nichel
Ciao, ho fatto tutto questo e ho persino aggiunto un involucro ed elettrodi migliori nella parte 2 di questa build. purtroppo non sono riuscito a caricare
At 3:03 min, does it matter where does the plus and minus goes?
No! It's AC, alternative current, no negative and positive.
@@YvonSmart
Thanks! I already tested it (no risc no funn lol) unfortenately my spot welder is too weak! wrapped the cable onle once with an 35mm² cable. Used cheap aliexpress controller (tried all possible settings. The pin needle are also from aliexpress (they should not be the problem). 3 times wrapping around the reansformer does not work since too thick. I am doing something wrong?i also removed the metal plates in the transformer. Basically all good sofar except the weakness.
@@zondepa5537 Use slightly thinner gauge wire so you can do more windings (wraps). the more windings you have, the lower the voltage will be, so the current will be high! mine has only 1.6v and over 600 amps. What metal plates did you remove?
@@YvonSmart Thanks, I ordered thinner one 25mm². This one should work. Thanks again!
@@YvonSmart It's just the opposite. The more windings you have, the more voltage you will have and the less current.
i mean a welder using soldering stick with the same materials
I would double up the transformers in parallel for welding
Your daughter just outed you as being fired.... you want to tell us what happened?
Your black wire not connected with electric
#Yvon Kingys transformer details?
120V AC, 60Hz
Not a professional work buddy, also you need to enhance your hand work and implement safety measures within your design.
Have a nice day.
Yeah, honestly I did not expect the video to even get attention! It was a kinda "playing around thing", but I should have really made it better and also video only shows part #1. I later on completed with an enclosure and long bars of wood plus a momentary switch.
What are you doing cute hahah
Ready to sale
Too many safety concerns here. Transformer chassi is not properly grounded, no fuse or current limiting, holding electrode wires a no-no even as low voltage as these may be, it is potentially deadly, especially if the transformer primary winding shorts to the secondary winding for some reason. Also those wires will get red hot if you accidentally stick them and can't let go. Burns hurt badly for a long time!!! Input voltage to output voltage is as simple as the turns ratio of input turns to the output turns. Look it up, in any basic electronics training course, current like wise. Be safe not stupid. Stupid gets you killed. No safety shielding around project either. I'm an electronics instructor and these types of videos make me cringe. I've know of one person who got killed messing with a microwave transformer building a "Jacobs Ladder" experiment. He touched both output electrodes with a finger on each hand to see how much of jolt he would get. The moron killed himself with direct high voltage through his heart. Either do it right and safe or don't do it at all.
If this is how you made your spot welder ( soldering ...cutting and hammering copper wire coil out) , I dread the outcome of your spot welded battery packs when/ if you make them. Hope you learn some basics first before showing off on RUclips !!
Do you know how many of this same process shown on videos are on RUclips? For the outcome, the battery packs I made with this spot welder are just fine! I just had to make a case for the spot welder and two wooden bars for the output leads. My chinese factory made spot welder died, but this is still rocking. Again this cost $0 and I showed how to make one. Now sorry if the build did not look professional then i'm not there yet. What you mean by learn some basics? What are the basics? What was wrong?
@@YvonSmart The Basics ??? ...besides eating....shitting and farting......SOLDERING ?!.....for one !!!
@@NavinBetamax 😂 Obviously, you are not as nice as your profile pic tends to depict! But I'm pretty sure I can teach you how to solder. LOL
I've been an engineer for over 40 years(IEEE Senior Member) and see nothing wrong with KingYS Tech's techniques. It's what you call resourcefulness. Have you ever seen the first prototypes of some the greatest inventions of the 20th century, like the cyclotron, they were much more kludgey than KingYS Tech. Besides being a resourceful and talented guy, he looks to be a great father too. I would like to meet him some day.
@@NavinBetamax he got it to work, nothing basic about that....
hotglue every thing .......
Bad idea! It gets so hot! The whole thing will keep melting 😂
Next time you can speak
Very unsafe, no fuses, thermal cut outs, or even a metal chassis. Remember that it is not the volts that could hurt you, it's the amps. Hope you understand V and I?
This was part #1, unfortunately I did not upload no final part! This is a $0 build! Those fancy cut-off circuits and fuses are not mandatory. High voltage is usually what hurts people but amps produces heat (so can also hurt, but only if you touch the shorted erea)
@@YvonSmart Not true. You can get a 'tickle' from 18~50,000v ignition system and have no lasting effect. Couple of amps at 110v can kill you. You need the amps to 'push' current through body
Amps on few volts hurts you.are u sure.atlest u know voltage on transformer I bet only few 🤣🤣🤣🙌🃏
Its the time, voltage thats kills. God some people
your bodys resistance makes it hard for low voltage to pass through. enough voltage from a powerful source will kill you if you get it through your body. Hope you understand V , I and R lol
Why oh WHY do people think it's a good idea to put loud, obnoxious, tacky music in the background while demonstrating a technical process. Just because you have horrible taste in music, you don't have to subject everyone else to it. Huge thumbs down!
bad
Very bad
Well, it s not a factory made spot welder, it cost me $0 to make and works just fine.
@@YvonSmart You can use a 100a spot welder timer its way better you can find it on aliexpress
What the hell........ you are killing people.......... yes for beginners this sound easy but no precaution..... it is not safe .... the way this guy do... this is a very danger way..
To the people who do not understand Physics (electricity is a part of Physics) this project may look very intimidating. The secondary winding may carry, not more than 2~2.5 volts AC at a high rate of current depending on the secondary winding which is harmless to human.This is the cheapest spot welder costing absolutely nothing to assemble. Thank you for your demonstration.
