A teardown of a Migatronic FocusStick 161E stick welder. I take apart and show the current paths of the system. This stick welder is adjustable from 20 to 160 Ampere. If you love welding machines, check out my other videos and articles on TIG & Stick Welder, Migatronic Pilot 1800 Teardown, ESAB Power TIG 200

Slow motion Tesla Coil recordings of SSTC sparks. Recorded at 8000 frames per second and replayed at 15-30 frames per second. Notice the step leader, known from natural lightning strikes and the hot spots that might be forming from collapsing plasma channels. Join the discussion at High Voltage Forum about these high speed video recordings

A teardown of a Migatronic Pilot 1800, a combined TIG & stick welder. TIG is short for Tungsten Inert Gas and refers to the tip of the welding handle, which is made out of tungsten. A inert gas comes from the handle, to surround the tip and ensure no air is near the welding bath.

A look at a box of IGBTs and MOSFETs that I have salvaged from household electronics like microwave ovens, induction stoves, solar inverters, welding machines, car and battery charges and other common high power electronics with switching inverters. The TO-247 IGBTs can be used in a DRSSTC Tesla Coil using the free half- and full-bridge

We had a good session with the Large Tesla Coil. Trying out some different interrupters, targets and lighting around the coil, for filming. Darkness did however surprise us a bit and it was hard to adjust lighting and run the coil at once, so a bit noise filled videos. The future holds a collaboration with
