Yea dude for real. As cool as this idea is, shorting an 18650 pack is ALWAYS a no-no. Hopefully the BMS fails before the cells, problem with this is that many tool packs balance through the charger and have no internal balancing... So the only thing that can fail is the cells... I am curious how many amps are being pulled at 36V, I wonder if a standard bench power supply with short protection would have enough juice.
Nice idea. Although your title is misleading. People thought that you would be using a 1.5 v battery to power up your device. What you did was simply make a rod out of carbon rod from a 1.5v cell that would be melted when contacted in metals.
As has been said many times already, this is soldering not welding. Not even sure it's comes up to the class of brazing, that would depend on the material that makes up the undisclosed filler. It's not brazing until you get to about 450 C, so depending on the melting point of that filler would determine the process. Also you are not using a 1.5V battery to do anything other than provide a stick of carbon to create a carbon arc. That arc can be created with any low impedance power source, such as the Li-Ion battery shown... Or, heaven forbid, a welding transformer. You could even jury-rig it with and old toroidal transformer from a busted amplifier and a few turns of 6 gauge wire added.
Would you be so kind as to tell me what voltage I used with the eliminator and what materials I used for soldering? Thank you very much for sharing the video.
that's brazing not welding. welding is using heat penetrate the material and fuse it. brazing is sort of using hot material to glue it together sort of like soldering.
Brazing is actually a form of welding, you are using a material that can molecularly bind with another, such as Bras, Bronze, or Copper to Steele, it is not as strong, but in many cases such as using on Cast Iron, will make a totally functional bond.
Brazing is specifically using brass. Soldering is using a tin alloy. You use the tin alloy to bond copper because the tin is slightly eutectic to the copper and bonds with it. Brazing is used on iron and aluminum alloys because brass is slightly eutectic to those and bonds with them in a similar manner.
@@leroyolson4349 No. Yes, both make a bond. But in brazing and soldering the base metal never melts. As such the bond is only at the surface layer of the base metal. Welding melts the base metal for a much deeper, stronger bond. The reason you will generally prefer brazing to welding on cast iron is that cast iron is extremely brittle and the small deformations from the temperature changes in welding will often crack it. The brass, being more ductile, deforms as the piece cools, reducing the stress on the iron, and also requires much lower temperatures, so there's less stress to start with. If you are going to weld cast iron, you'd usually use a nickel welding rod since nickel is similarly ductile, and will alloy with the cast iron around the weld to provide a similar strain relief. Nickel electrodes are pretty expensive though. Alternatively, you can slowly heat the entire piece to a dull cherry-red, weld it with an iron-powder electrode, and then slowly let it cool.

. First, you're NOT welding, you're making a fire bomb. Second, you're soldering which is a different bonding process altogether. It's just as good IF you can keep your feet off the repair. Third, that 20 volt drill battery contains lithium ion rechargeable cells. That carbon rod probably only has 1/2 to 1 ohm of resistance in it. Surely not enough to keep those lithium cells from quickly overheating from the dead short that you are causing and catching the lithium metal anode in each cell on fire to burn violently like a flare. Fourth, If you don't know this, then you probably don't know that you do NOT put a lithium fire out with WATER as water reacts with lithium to produce VERY flammable / explosive hydrogen gas and only makes the fire burn hotter. This is why people who do NOT know what they're doing should NEVER abuse lithium batteries as you are doing here. This is also why a fire department will stand back and watch an $82,000 Tesla automobile burn for 24 hours and only try to keep the fire from spreading.

It's spot welding. Soldering requires solder and flux that acts as a kind of glue. Spot welding, as perfectly represented here, is melting the metal, fusing them together. It's also much lower heat needed to make the bond as it's only concentrated through the electrode, where as solder needs the metal to be hot enough to melt the solder so it flows

Super Good Idea Thanks For Sharing Your Skills And Ideas. Very ThoughtFull A 20Volt Electrical Resistance High Temperature Welding And Brazing Device. Sharpening The Carbon Rod Increased The Electrical Resistance With 20 Volt Battery To To Point Of Almost White Heat. Im Going To Try This Idea Out. Thanks For Sharing Your Ideas Keep Up The Good Wood And You Have A Very Good Day.
its not fake using the carbon as an electrode works and using the lithium battery can supply instant large currents,ive done this aswell many years ago
You will always get these comments from people like this. They think they’re experts they don’t try it to see if it works or not. They just put a negative spin on everything. It makes him feel good I guess.
Just so everyone knows, this is NOT WELDING! This is soldering or brazing. Welding melts the parent metal together, either with or without parent metal filler. Interesting, but a LONG process!!
Using the carbon electrode from an 1.5 volts battery for welding is very creative! But i would take another power unit, you can defeat your drill battery with that. Better use a cheap welding machine as power source (Inverter)
I have seen a lot of both criticism and compliments on this video and for the most part both are valid. I wouldn't say this is a go to method for doing a repair of this nature, but at the same time you did a great job demonstrating how to make such a repair with materials one might have easy access to in a jam. In my humble opinion I think you are a very intelligent person who made an informative as well as an entertaining video. The only thing I would like to have seen done differently would be some tips on using safety precautions as well as a disclaimer that this is not something to be used as a standard practice but as an emergency repair. Please forgive me if I sounded critical, I did enjoy it and did hit the like and subscribe buttons, I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thank you again for an informative and entertaining video!
That's pretty cool ....... So do you have to have a 6volt battery or can you use any old battery? I mean can you use a 6-12volt motorcycle or cat battery? Or can you use any type of cordless battery for a drill or saw? What is the metal used to bind the rack? You twisted metal for this repair & I don't know what you used? I subb'd & hit the bell, please try to list materials used somewhere? please? peace
A 6-12 volt motorcycle or car battery would be a much better choice. What he's doing with the lithium cordless drill battery is, in fact, very dangerous. In general a 5AH lithium battery like that will overheat if you draw more than 5A from it. The device he's using will *easily* draw 10x that, maybe more. It's probably only the fact that his wire diameter is too small and his connections are generally crappy that's keeping it from blowing the thermal fuse in the battery pack. Or, you know, if that fails, providing a practical demonstration of just how little difference there is between a lithium battery and a thermite charge... Vehicle starter batteries are designed to deliver *hundreds* of amps. With proper choice of wire size and electrode diameter this basic concept makes a decent carbon-arc cutting torch or, with practice, a usable spot-welder. With a source of CO2 gas for shielding it becomes a (crude) GCAW setup. (GCAW being an alternative to TIG for those who can't afford the much more expensive tungsten and argon.) You can find detailed instructions in "Popular Mechanics" and similar publications from the 70s and 80s when commercial tools of this type were on the expensive side for the home shop.
Thank you, I'm not a "welder" & called it cool for the TVshow, " MacGyver's" sake. I know lithium batteries burn up for reasons unknown to me & that some cars/ebikes are torching homes, some even do so w/o being on a charger & that is scary plus they are hard to put out. I'd never actually do these things unless I could prove it safe concerning any fire, explosion, or chemical poison between the elements(science stuff) & the changing of their relationships. It kills people who dabble w/o giving things the proper research. A lot of these MacGyver antics come from parts of the world where waste parts & salvage are cast into poorer communities. ""how little difference there is between a lithium battery and a thermite charge..."" You couldn't have stated this any better than you did = that registered w/ me & again I say thanks b/c as little as I really know, I knew just enough to mention/ask the things I did >> > you saved me much time IF I ever felt forced into one of these Krazy Kewl yet dangerous poor choices...... I hope others read your response as well. it could save lives...... peace & GB Sir
@@diggy-d8w Lithium batteries aren't "hard to put out." They're so close to impossible as makes no difference. Cut off the air? Doesn't matter, they contain both fuel and oxidizer. Cool it off by pouring water on it? Lithium reacts violently with water. Possibly enough so to turn your fire into an explosion with the massive amount of hydrogen gas it will release. Bury it in a pile of sand to contain the heat and whatever molten metal, etc. the fire will create out of your tool and wait patiently for it to burn out. That's about all you can do. The only difference from thermite is that thermite burns just enough hotter to melt some of the sand too.
Yeah Mr. Laurence P >> I know just enough that I don't like lithium batteries although they're in my laptop & many other devices we use. Now I think I saw evidence of "thermite" from the Sept. 11th events & there was molten metal running like a water under the debris like 4-6 weeks after the event but your comparison of the two is a powerful statement and I believe it as you've said. OMG, melting metals like steel is crazy to see but it will melt sand into glass fragments? I use a couple of devices that require the 18650's which I charge in an area with nothing that burns around it. I know there's charging bags but most the fires I've seen are in Tesla's / Ebikes, maybe a few in actual chargers. The issues w/ lithium batteries has kept me from buying any transportation that uses batteries but I also think that they're way overpriced & they pollute more than oil/coal or their products. I'm glad you took the time... lol, I've seen just enough to push back any/all desires to use lithium but you've added the resolve I needed to "Just Say NO" ! ty again, peace
@@diggy-d8w Thermite burns between 200 and 300 degrees C hotter than a LiFePo4 battery as commonly used in electric cars. They're both hot enough to melt a lot of things, but the batteries are a little less energetic. The Lithium-ion batteries in your cell phone and so-forth burn about as hot as an oven on self-clean. Dangerous, sure, but not "burn a hole through the concrete floor and drop into the apartment below" level dangerous. That said, you do have to abuse them pretty seriously in order to light them on fire. Puncture them, or heat them up enough to melt the plastic they're made of. As long as you're mindful of the environment you're keeping them in, and don't push them outside their spec (like by using them for an arc welder...) it's pretty safe. The problem with electric cars is that the politicians are pushing them as the solution to everything (because the politicians have invested heavily in electric cars and "green" energy and are looking for any excuse to throw taxpayer money at those things.) They have their applications. For certain kinds of vehicles hauling certain kinds of loads they even make sense. As a general, "everything should be electric"? Only once we have the infrastructure to deal with the fact that an hour of driving a mid-size passenger car uses as much power as the electrical consumption of the average American home for an entire day... Need to really beef up the grid there... Chemical fuel is simply the most efficient and economical way to move that kind of energy around. Even if you stop using fossil fuels, synthesized chemical fuel is still going to be the most efficient storage and transportation mechanism. Diesel oil has 50x the energy storage of our best batteries, and can be stored as long as necessary with minimal lossage. The only battery technology we have with that kind of storage duration use things like molten sodium... Batteries with operating temperatures of 400F aren't exactly consumer-friendly.
Genau, es wurde ein 36 V-Akku verwendet, wahrscheinlich mit sicher 4,0Ah.....außerdem sieht man nicht um welches Material es sich bei dem "Schweißdraht" handelt !
What a mess! That's not a repair. That's a complete fu*k up! Instead of all that unnecessary work, why not just use flux, solder and a simple heat source you can control - like a hand held gas jet cooker lighter, FFS. 🤷♂️
The way you hit that thing is very convincing AND WHERE you hit it. On top: using a WOOD-Stick. REALLY?? -- If you are REALLY serious about that, you should hit it somewhere else and with a SOLID Hammer.
Shouldn't be any of them with graphite powder... That would have horrible internal resistance. Some of the larger zinc-carbon cells though have manganese oxide powder as a filler. The carbon rod will be in the middle of that.
@@laurenceperkins7468 Probably it is not graphite, I see just some black powder leaving marks on fingers. Nevertheless at the center there is only soft black substation. I opened AA cells of several brands with the same result. I have found graphite electrodes on Amazon, very affordable. Is 3mm good diameter?
@@sergeibrodsky3532 The diameter you want depends on how much current you're pushing. You can probably find GCAW welding tables giving electrode size recommendations based on amperage and application. You can also find some videos here from people making their own. If you're not too concerned about purity then charcoal dust with used motor oil as a binder pressed together with a reasonably high pressure and fired hot enough to burn off the volatiles reportedly works acceptably well for making carbon-arc cutting torch electrodes and the like.
Need heavier wiring for more amps. Car batteries will dump at least hundreds of amps, the bigger ones will do thousands. With no arc it doesn't matter which polarity the electrode is. If you're maintaining an arc then the polarity affects which direction the electrode material tends to migrate.
Leí los comentarios y no me aclaran nada, para mí la batería de 1,5 v. solo se usó para sacar el carbón central, después dice que la energía para soldar sale de una batería de 36 v., también dice para soldar acero, el acero puede ser soldado con hierro o acero, plata, cobre, aluminio o estaño, que es esto último lo que él utiliza trenzándolo...
There are some very good quality and inexpensive ways to do low voltage welding. This is not that would interest me - or anyone else I've ever known or met.

battery (1.5V): what type: Zinc-Carbon or Alkaline? Fully charged or a discharged one (you would normally dispose of)? So many missing information......
Chau tu batería de 36 V de taladro. Con el consumo masivo de amperaje, sobrecalentará y se estropeará en poco tiempo. (Goodbye to your 36 V drill battery. With the massive amperage draw, it will overheat and break down in no time).
Sorry, but except the thin razor-blades, there is no welding. The repair is just soft soldering with tin. Nothing else. A blowtorch is better than this battery killing way.
Total bullshit. Firstly - no "welding" with a 1.5 V battery, only a 36 V 5 Ah battery (there is only a graphite electrode from 1.5 V cell), secondly, there was no welding, only soldering with soft solder, thirdly, connecting the trunk is fake - the sides were first welded with a normal welder and then soldered.
Ciao. La presentazione del vidéo non è giusta. La batteria da 1,5v serve solo per estrarre quel pezzo che serve per l'elettrodo. La batteria che dà il voltaggio è la Makita che fà 36v. Dunque non è esatto dire: "saldare con una batteria da 1,5v.

@@kiccabeagle8690 Si, hai ragione. Del resto ci sono moltissimi video in soggetto con un trasformatore di forno a micro-onde. Me ne sono fatto uno. Diciamo che il video di cui si parla, è un esempio di rapida preparazione et può servire occasionalmente se si ha una batteria di 20/36v. Del resto, visto le scintille che provoca il contatto tra due cavi di batteria auto, penso che uno che deve fissare un pezzo di lattina sulle pile che compongono una batteria al litio (per rifarla), due cavi isolati con due punteruoli di carbonio penso dovrebbe bastare.

👍Trés interréssant, je vais faire l'expérience dans mon garage, par contre je n'ai pas vue ce qu'était le liquide la bouteille ! étais-ce de l'acide Chloridrique ?

Fake!! Not using a 1.5 volt battery. Tore it apart to use the components then used a 12 v or larger battery for the current...................
its not fake using the carbon as an electrode works and using the lithium battery can supply instant large currents,ive done this aswell many years ago
You will always get these comments from people like this. They think they’re experts they don’t try it to see if it works or not. They just put a negative spin on everything. It makes him feel good I guess.
yes- that was most noticeable !
Not 12V car battery, it would melt the blades!
@@engjds Did you see anywhere that I said car battery? Pretty obvious it is a tool battery.

You use 36V, not 1,5 V
The fumes from the acid are very dangerous
OKAY, great hack - what did you do in a quick review please.

Keep Up The Good Work
Take Care
Thank you friends! Haave a nicce day!
Super , What filler metal do you use?
Copper and alminum electrode, special welding head
@@GausDIY Thank you very much for your answer
Because I have been trying to figure out what to do with that random bottle of hydrochloric acid that I have in my junk drawer.
Love the wire strippers ;-)
😆
Just so everyone knows, this is NOT WELDING! This is soldering or brazing. Welding melts the parent metal together, either with or without parent metal filler. Interesting, but a LONG process!!
Using the carbon electrode from an 1.5 volts battery for welding is very creative! But i would take another power unit, you can defeat your drill battery with that. Better use a cheap welding machine as power source (Inverter)
1.5v or 36v?
possiblt 18v ....
@@terencefranks1688 power source looks to be 36v tool battery. The video is missing this critical bit of information
@@mathewsmith1400 OK - thanks for that !
24 volt 5 amp trafo
If you use two carbon rods ,no doubt you could make a very simple spot welder!
Thank for your sharing!
Is there any way to regulate this so I don't fuck up the battery pack?
the batteries NEED to be alkaline batteries to have the graphene
sometimes it is cheaper and safer to buy a new part or get proper tools or pay someone to do it.
Was it just soldier used and, or, did it weld the materials together? Could this be done to weld aluminum???

Thank you for your compliments, I have had a lot of positive motivation to try to make more videos
I have seen a lot of both criticism and compliments on this video and for the most part both are valid. I wouldn't say this is a go to method for doing a repair of this nature, but at the same time you did a great job demonstrating how to make such a repair with materials one might have easy access to in a jam. In my humble opinion I think you are a very intelligent person who made an informative as well as an entertaining video. The only thing I would like to have seen done differently would be some tips on using safety precautions as well as a disclaimer that this is not something to be used as a standard practice but as an emergency repair. Please forgive me if I sounded critical, I did enjoy it and did hit the like and subscribe buttons, I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thank you again for an informative and entertaining video!
Imagine if we could get people like this in the millions instead of, "FEED ME!!"
Edit- Call space X, they're hiring!!
No, they're laying people off.
That's pretty cool ....... So do you have to have a 6volt battery or can you use any old battery? I mean can you use a 6-12volt
motorcycle or cat battery? Or can you use any type of cordless battery for a drill or saw? What is the metal used to bind
the rack? You twisted metal for this repair & I don't know what you used? I subb'd & hit the bell, please try to list materials
used somewhere? please? peace
A 6-12 volt motorcycle or car battery would be a much better choice. What he's doing with the lithium cordless drill battery is, in fact, very dangerous. In general a 5AH lithium battery like that will overheat if you draw more than 5A from it. The device he's using will *easily* draw 10x that, maybe more. It's probably only the fact that his wire diameter is too small and his connections are generally crappy that's keeping it from blowing the thermal fuse in the battery pack. Or, you know, if that fails, providing a practical demonstration of just how little difference there is between a lithium battery and a thermite charge...
Vehicle starter batteries are designed to deliver *hundreds* of amps. With proper choice of wire size and electrode diameter this basic concept makes a decent carbon-arc cutting torch or, with practice, a usable spot-welder. With a source of CO2 gas for shielding it becomes a (crude) GCAW setup. (GCAW being an alternative to TIG for those who can't afford the much more expensive tungsten and argon.) You can find detailed instructions in "Popular Mechanics" and similar publications from the 70s and 80s when commercial tools of this type were on the expensive side for the home shop.
Thank you, I'm not a "welder" & called it cool for the TVshow, " MacGyver's" sake. I know lithium batteries burn up for
reasons unknown to me & that some cars/ebikes are torching homes, some even do so w/o being on a charger & that
is scary plus they are hard to put out. I'd never actually do these things unless I could prove it safe concerning any fire,
explosion, or chemical poison between the elements(science stuff) & the changing of their relationships. It kills people
who dabble w/o giving things the proper research. A lot of these MacGyver antics come from parts of the world where
waste parts & salvage are cast into poorer communities. ""how little difference there is between a lithium battery and a thermite charge..."" You couldn't have stated this any better than you did = that registered w/ me & again I say thanks
b/c as little as I really know, I knew just enough to mention/ask the things I did >> > you saved me much time IF I ever
felt forced into one of these Krazy Kewl yet dangerous poor choices...... I hope others read your response as well.
it could save lives...... peace & GB Sir
@@diggy-d8w Lithium batteries aren't "hard to put out." They're so close to impossible as makes no difference. Cut off the air? Doesn't matter, they contain both fuel and oxidizer. Cool it off by pouring water on it? Lithium reacts violently with water. Possibly enough so to turn your fire into an explosion with the massive amount of hydrogen gas it will release. Bury it in a pile of sand to contain the heat and whatever molten metal, etc. the fire will create out of your tool and wait patiently for it to burn out. That's about all you can do.
The only difference from thermite is that thermite burns just enough hotter to melt some of the sand too.
Yeah Mr. Laurence P >> I know just enough that I don't like lithium batteries although they're in my laptop & many other
devices we use. Now I think I saw evidence of "thermite" from the Sept. 11th events & there was molten metal running
like a water under the debris like 4-6 weeks after the event but your comparison of the two is a powerful statement and
I believe it as you've said. OMG, melting metals like steel is crazy to see but it will melt sand into glass fragments?
I use a couple of devices that require the 18650's which I charge in an area with nothing that burns around it. I know
there's charging bags but most the fires I've seen are in Tesla's / Ebikes, maybe a few in actual chargers. The issues
w/ lithium batteries has kept me from buying any transportation that uses batteries but I also think that they're way
overpriced & they pollute more than oil/coal or their products. I'm glad you took the time... lol, I've seen just enough
to push back any/all desires to use lithium but you've added the resolve I needed to "Just Say NO" ! ty again, peace
@@diggy-d8w Thermite burns between 200 and 300 degrees C hotter than a LiFePo4 battery as commonly used in electric cars. They're both hot enough to melt a lot of things, but the batteries are a little less energetic. The Lithium-ion batteries in your cell phone and so-forth burn about as hot as an oven on self-clean. Dangerous, sure, but not "burn a hole through the concrete floor and drop into the apartment below" level dangerous.
That said, you do have to abuse them pretty seriously in order to light them on fire. Puncture them, or heat them up enough to melt the plastic they're made of. As long as you're mindful of the environment you're keeping them in, and don't push them outside their spec (like by using them for an arc welder...) it's pretty safe.
The problem with electric cars is that the politicians are pushing them as the solution to everything (because the politicians have invested heavily in electric cars and "green" energy and are looking for any excuse to throw taxpayer money at those things.) They have their applications. For certain kinds of vehicles hauling certain kinds of loads they even make sense.
As a general, "everything should be electric"? Only once we have the infrastructure to deal with the fact that an hour of driving a mid-size passenger car uses as much power as the electrical consumption of the average American home for an entire day... Need to really beef up the grid there... Chemical fuel is simply the most efficient and economical way to move that kind of energy around. Even if you stop using fossil fuels, synthesized chemical fuel is still going to be the most efficient storage and transportation mechanism. Diesel oil has 50x the energy storage of our best batteries, and can be stored as long as necessary with minimal lossage. The only battery technology we have with that kind of storage duration use things like molten sodium... Batteries with operating temperatures of 400F aren't exactly consumer-friendly.

Wo bitte ist das eine 1,5 Volt Batterie ?
Immer diese Tricks für mehr Klicks ?
Genau, es wurde ein 36 V-Akku verwendet, wahrscheinlich mit sicher 4,0Ah.....außerdem sieht man nicht um welches Material es sich bei dem "Schweißdraht" handelt !
The 1.5v battery was sacrificed to get the "welding tip."
la bateria de 1.5 es la que desbarata para sacar la barra de grafito.
The welding terminal came from the 1.5v battery.
which is positive and negative??
pretty cool dude what a smart person you are
Oh man, I saw you 👀👀😁
Is it steel or wire or lead that is used for welding?
Why don’t you show the real source of the power instead saying 1 1/2 volt battery , misleading 👎👎👎
Because if he just told the true story we would not have gotten sucked into watching!
They did. The drill battery was the source of the welding power.

It's not a 1.5V battery, it clearly says 36V.
What a mess! That's not a repair. That's a complete fu*k up! Instead of all that unnecessary work, why not just use flux, solder and a simple heat source you can control - like a hand held gas jet cooker lighter, FFS. 🤷♂️
48 volts works better or (4) 12volt battery's in series, Yeah!
The way you hit that thing is very convincing AND WHERE you hit it. On top: using a WOOD-Stick. REALLY?? -- If you are REALLY serious about that, you should hit it somewhere else and with a SOLID Hammer.
What was the liquid and what was the weld rod
Va bene anche per alluminio?
si dice che per alluminio ci vuole corrente alternata o forse polarita' "invertita"....
Where to find such the battery with graphite rod. All that I inspected here in USA has no rod, but graphite powder at the outer aspect.
Shouldn't be any of them with graphite powder... That would have horrible internal resistance. Some of the larger zinc-carbon cells though have manganese oxide powder as a filler. The carbon rod will be in the middle of that.
@@laurenceperkins7468 Probably it is not graphite, I see just some black powder leaving marks on fingers. Nevertheless at the center there is only soft black substation. I opened AA cells of several brands with the same result. I have found graphite electrodes on Amazon, very affordable. Is 3mm good diameter?
@@sergeibrodsky3532 The diameter you want depends on how much current you're pushing. You can probably find GCAW welding tables giving electrode size recommendations based on amperage and application.
You can also find some videos here from people making their own. If you're not too concerned about purity then charcoal dust with used motor oil as a binder pressed together with a reasonably high pressure and fired hot enough to burn off the volatiles reportedly works acceptably well for making carbon-arc cutting torch electrodes and the like.
Que material es el alambre es stainless steel o puede usar cual tipo de alambre
Que alambre uso para soldar
Specialized solder wire or solder wire

Is the carbon rod connected to the negatve (-) end? I used a car battery and the aligator clips melted within a few seconds.
Need heavier wiring for more amps. Car batteries will dump at least hundreds of amps, the bigger ones will do thousands.
With no arc it doesn't matter which polarity the electrode is. If you're maintaining an arc then the polarity affects which direction the electrode material tends to migrate.
not 1.5v but 36v glo plug
Leí los comentarios y no me aclaran nada, para mí la batería de 1,5 v. solo se usó para sacar el carbón central, después dice que la energía para soldar sale de una batería de 36 v., también dice para soldar acero, el acero puede ser soldado con hierro o acero, plata, cobre, aluminio o estaño, que es esto último lo que él utiliza trenzándolo...
There are some very good quality and inexpensive ways to do low voltage welding. This is not that would interest me - or anyone else I've ever known or met.
which solution was poured into that plastic half-bottle ?
Hydrochloric acid.
hydrocloric (muriatic) acid, beware it is an aggressive acid

You need the carbon anode feim a dry cell battery. When you put current to it, it makes a lot f heat.
Very amazing, but I don't get these carbon rod zinc batteries, I think that in 21 century do not exist !

Sorry, but except the thin razor-blades, there is no welding. The repair is just soft soldering with tin. Nothing else. A blowtorch is better than this battery killing way.
Total bullshit. Firstly - no "welding" with a 1.5 V battery, only a 36 V 5 Ah battery (there is only a graphite electrode from 1.5 V cell), secondly, there was no welding, only soldering with soft solder, thirdly, connecting the trunk is fake - the sides were first welded with a normal welder and then soldered.
You can fool them some of the time but you can't con Edison.
The razor blades were spot welded. The rest might be brazed, but I'd like to know what the filler wires were.
@@thomasmiller2667
Of course - I agree about spot welding, but that wire melted as easily, as if it were made of tin.

👌👍, ma quanto dura la batteria, per i tanti corto circuiti ai quali viene sottoposta?
Ciao. La presentazione del vidéo non è giusta. La batteria da 1,5v serve solo per estrarre quel pezzo che serve per l'elettrodo. La batteria che dà il voltaggio è la Makita che fà 36v. Dunque non è esatto dire: "saldare con una batteria da 1,5v.
@@lululuamre9592 so bene che il carboncino della pila fa da elettrodo. Mi riferivo alla batteria che, nel momento che il carboncino poggia sul metallo da saldare, viene interessata dalla massima corrente che puo' erogare.
Io penso che la batteria, sottoposta a continui corto circuiti, si deteriori in breve tempo.
Inoltre, penso che con un trasformatore alimentato a 220Volt con uscita 36Volt, di potenza opportuna, ci risparmieremmo il costo della pila nuova-

@@kiccabeagle8690 Si, hai ragione. Del resto ci sono moltissimi video in soggetto con un trasformatore di forno a micro-onde. Me ne sono fatto uno. Diciamo che il video di cui si parla, è un esempio di rapida preparazione et può servire occasionalmente se si ha una batteria di 20/36v. Del resto, visto le scintille che provoca il contatto tra due cavi di batteria auto, penso che uno che deve fissare un pezzo di lattina sulle pile che compongono una batteria al litio (per rifarla), due cavi isolati con due punteruoli di carbonio penso dovrebbe bastare.
