The air blast blew the arc away, chilled and froze the molten metal instead of burning it. Thanks to a reader who suggested dipping the rods in water- I can't find your comment now, what other nifty tricks do you have up your sleeve? I also tried an improvised air-arc torch using compressed air. It works well and makes a surprisingly clean hole while using less rod than you'd think. We dipped the rods in water and then blasted and pushed the steel out of the way. Here's Ray cutting holes for the trailer safety chain to hook on. We did some strong agricultural-style welding that isn't going to break or appear in textbooks. I should put a few dozen more turns on it to really smooth out the arc. In the golf cart business we use a golf cart battery recovery unit like BatteryPete's Super Charger to jump start the golf cart in seconds or minutes to get the customers golf cart battery charger to kick on It is kinda like a AED you would find in the airport or hospital to shock someone back to life after having a heart attack.

The big toroidal series inductor seen here came from Maker Day. Ray and I used the golfcart welder with 1/8" 6011 rods to weld some beefy reinforcements on it. The bumper hitch on my 1978 Toyota truck was rusted rotten. Don't bother him about your electric car though, he's been plagued about that sort of thing enough already. He sells batteries to all the big boats there, and he knows exactly how long every brand of battery lasts in every set of conditions. Alrick, the proprietor, grew up making batteries and he really knows his stuff. It's really amazing, like an old time blacksmith's shop, but high-tech. I got these from the guy who made them? That's right, a family run battery manufacturer right in Sausalito in a little workshop. If your batteries aren't as nice as this, don't worry, you can do plenty of welding with three old car batteries in series. Plenty good since I'll never have a project with enough metal laid out ahead of time to spend that much time a-welding in a day.
I happened to have some nice juicy batteries in the form of a Golf Cart. Its just a pair of jumper cables and a welding rod.Oh yeah. The batteries have about 220 Amp-hours capacity, so that means I could weld at 150 amps for more than an hour (consult books printed on paper for the details) without recharging. Batteries + Jumpercables DC Welder: Heres the simplest welder you can make. I can clip in anywhere in the chain to get 36,30,24, etc. My golf cart has 6 of these 6 volt T-105 size batteries that I bought used from THE GUY WHO MADE THEM!!! They're in series making 36 volts total.
