    I think the "Welder" itself is a big power resistor. Basically the same thing as those cheap little tin welders they used to sell. All that was inside it was a coil heating element to limit the current. Had a lot of fun with one as a kid melting rocks with carbon arc rods in the holder!

    No safety rules, no pollution regs, what else.

    How can anyone compete with people that will do anything stupid.
