Connect a thin copper wire to a >12v car battery and see how much copper gets deposited >on the things near it... :o) Back in high school I made my first "arc welder" using a xfrmr from a TV set - probably used the 12V 10A secondary windings - broke the carbon rods out of 2 D-cells, connected to the xfrmr, and held the rod ends close together. Made a fine arc - prolly reason I need glasses now [spectacles, to you brit types]. Maybe Jinx can use a heavy copper wire for the 2nd electrode. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
