    At about 8:20 you had the cable going through the transformer and It looks like you could easily pass it through at least one more transformer. So I’m wonder what would happen if you did? Would the voltage double like having a second turn? If so the draw for each primary would be reduced right? Maybe you could chain a bunch of them to get to the million amps.

      Yes he could and that's what many builders do when making a DIY arc welder. It will double the voltage as it will make the part of wire trough the new transformer act as a new voltage source in series. To increase the current you reduce the number of turns trough each transformer.

The resulting field is so ridiculously powerful, the metal is accelerated to supersonic speeds (i.e. mach 1) and causes even dissimilar materials to weld.

      as a non electrical engineer that dropped out of highschool, this just leaves more unexplained than it explains.
      reflected impedances, transformer turns ratio, jacobs law, source to load resistance ratios, load matching...
      just a quick perusal of the comments show how badly people understand ANY of this.
      but dont you worry, as an EE, you have a career of doing the same old same old ahead of you. you will forever be too busy to actually think about what is actually going on in there, where we cant see, smell, taste, touch, or otherwise interact... but just rely on theory.

In saying that the stuff he has would be 10x cheaper than weldflex so it makes sense why he went with it.

I too wanted to save the secondary, so I cut the welds. I currently use trigger clamps to hold it together but I have designed a threaded rod and unistrut clamp thing to hold it together better. I also might upgrade to 3/0 XHHW and NEMA 2-hole pad copper compression lugs. It's a fun project to burn, test, and destroy various things, and having access to very high currents without the need for large quantities of power is nice. The output voltage of mine is 1.87vrms.

    I did 2 turns of 2/0 gauge nickel clad copper with crimped lugs on the ends and got 1.8v @ 1900A with the lugs bolted. I used switch gear wire with hundreds of strands so it would be very flexible, but large car audio wire would also work well. It would trip a 20A breaker after about 5 seconds, so ended up powering it with a 30A breaker and 10 gauge. Eventually made a contact welder with it using an interval timer and a large solid state relay (on the primary side obviously).

    Although very whacky (yes, I enjoy the schtick), I admire someone who owns more than the 3 oscilloscopes that I do (and his are all modern; 2 of my 3 are archaic in comparison). Back in college in the early 1970s, I worked testing high voltage switchgear and we sometimes did late-night testing (and high-speed movies) of certifiable >1Million Amps on switchgear using an MG set to reduce the voltage and provide a proper buffer to not mess too much with the city power feed. Of note, great care was needed to set up the supply lines (heavy braided copper) in a physical manner to ensure that the EMF didn't help push the switch's blade out of the socket. Results recording was via multi-channel light-beam strip-chart recorders. Power electronics can be really cool (well, hot actually...).

When doing that, one would basically turn for example three coils with two turns into one coil with 6 turns. However, having them in series also means that the current is no longer split between the coils, so all the current has to flow through all the coils. In this case, a system like that would probably go up in smoke and flames pretty quickly.

It doesn't help you think outside the box - only an intuitive understanding can do that.

    Hey Mehdi, I’ve been watching your videos for years. I’m now going to school for electrical engineering and it’s super cool to see the stuff I’m learning in action on your channel, and understand the math behind it!
