Unique3phase video clip

     Need to do some welding? If you buy a rotary converter can you weld with it? You bet you can if you buy a welder!
     Here is a fun little clip that shows you, not only can you make your own transformer and run three phase motors, but you can also with a little extra wire and a couple of inexpensive diodes, make yourself a welder power supply.
      What inspired this was I had purchase a cheap 89 dollar welder from Home Depot in the early 1990's. It worked great for welding up sheet metal but was very frustrating when trying to weld anything heavier. I decided that since I was making my own transformers why not make one for a heavier power supply. I did and it worked great. I used my cheap welder for the wire feeder and just hooked up my own transformer to it. Now I could weld at 180 amps. I welded a lot of 3 inch pipe together with this setup.
        In this video we actually take a howemade transformer and add the welder feature to it. We now have a dual purpose machine. As I show in the video we weld and run a ten horse motor from the same home made transformer.
