But well it's just for fun :wave:



:beer:

Yo, you be crazy mon.

Shredded!!

I'm guessing you are running that on 220v so you are probably getting 6-8 volts out.
I would spring for some welding cable about #4 gauge like this>

Here it's $2.25 a foot, I'm rewiring a friends ATV winch with this stuff.

This can go up to 105C and has a smaller diameter than that PVC insulated wire so you might get one more turn in there with this stuff.

Cool can cutter

Under full shortcicruit it's giving 1.6 volt 600 - 700 amp maybe even more and yes it's running on 230 volt

 

[Flaminpyro]

That is no where near 600-700 amps, if it was it would only take about 1 sec or less to go completely through that can, I'm guessing more like 200 amps at the most.

EDIT:200

Nah, I have a gel battery that has a short circuit current of 1800 amps according to the manufacturer, and it acts just like his video. I can do 20 amps with my DC power supply, and it would not do that anywhere near that fast.

20 amps ??



Far more then 20 amps

 

[Jacob32123]

20 amps ??

Far more then 20 amps

Agreed. 1.5 volts at 20 amps is 30 watts. A couple 9 volt batteries will output 30 watts, try shredding a aluminum can with that. Nice build.

 

[bennett326]

i bet he meant to say 200amps

 

[weeba2kv]

Well the transformer was original 750VA that is for a normal duty , right now it's pulling more then 750 watts for sure , so what goes in must come out

 

[Flaminpyro]

Here is what 200 amps looks like>
5 cent vs 200 amp - YouTube

@ weeba2kv er yes 200 amps, with the copper penny it is much more impressive

 

[weeba2kv]

LOL thats my video made few years ago and the last 2 monts it reached over 1 million vies

A lot of it as heat in the MOT, though. MOTs are known to saturate.

 

[weeba2kv]

Update , transformer is connected on the 240 coil


now lets try the 200 volt coil on a wrench it's 8 millimeter 0.31 inch

That looks like a nice floor you are burning your tools on top of. Destroying your tools and your floor? Have you no shame?
