The reason why I needed a precise timer is the difference of half a second to quarter of a second will result in a good weld or a hole in your strip and battery. This way, I don't have to fear controlling the timing. I also 3d printed the case. The Microwave was gotten for free from Craigslist. Just searched the free section for a broken Microwave. I've used mine enough to warrant the very small cost.

"When you solder, you have to heat up the solder itself and flow it on to the materials you're trying to join." NO! That will get you a cold joint that will have high electrical resistance and break easily. You need to heat the MATERIAL to above the melting point of solder and apply the solder to the MATERIAL. In practice, it helps to add a bit of solder to the iron to help transfer heat and a bit of flux to the material. To join materials, you should "tin" each one first. edit: and I'll bet that was the cause of the bad connection at 11:33

@BloodAsp 4 роки тому
What he said is correct, you do have to both heat up the solder, AND flow the solder on to the materials. The solder will not flow if the materials are not also heated up. If you ever get into soldering SMD packages, this is something that is commonly done, the soldering iron is not a point, but a bit of a well to it which can store solder that you can brush across the contacts to solder due to the contacts being such miniscule mass, they heat up to the proper temperature extremely fast. This is called "Drag Soldering". You do however need keep in mind how much flux you have. Further, there is the mass production version of soldering called wave solder which is a literal vat of melted solder which the board with parts on travels through and gets soldered.

8:10 this isn't really a mistake because everything you said before it was right, but obviously you are using the capacity of all 4 cells. Putting cells in parallel increases amp hours while cells in series increases voltage. However, both increase total energy capacity which is essentially current times voltage times time, watt hours.

When I was going to school to get my A&P, we had a course in welding. It was very short, and more for recognition of terms and techniques rather than to become good welders for aircraft materials. We were doing MIG welding, I think. We had a gun with an element that would get fed through while being surrounded by an inert gas. Keep in mind, we are AMT students, not welding students. We were not as familiar with the equipment as a proper welding student would be. One of the instructors goes into my both to show us something, or to set something up. I have one of the welding guns in my hand. I'm not sure if I almost dropped it, and caught it, or what. All I know is the filament started coming out. As far as I know, when the filament is flowing, the filament is hot. It has high potential, and the potential for high current. The instructor was right in the line of fire, and being in the booth, had no where to go. The filament finally stopped. I don't remember how. All I know is there was about 5 ft of filament that came out, and I was extremely nervous about how close it got to the instructor. I'm pretty sure I could have killed him. You can't imagine how relieved I was the filament stopped, and he had a chance to leave the booth.

I build a same style spot welder a few weeks ago. I found a great timing relay, which controls the pulse from 10ms to pretty much every reasonable length. This makes it much more reliable, repeatable and its more consistent. The relay module is called XY-LJ02 and can easily be found on Ebay or Amazon for around 15$ locally or for less than 10$ from overseas. I also found using a tungsten needle from a TIG torch as the electrodes super useful. I used copper wire before but it lost its tip shape to fast due to the temperatures. The tungsten electrodes hold up way longer. I just ask someone who does TIG welding if he had any end pieces for me that he would throw away.

for the timing, you can also use a 555 timer in the monostable configuration, with R=1k+100k potentiometer in series and C=10uf and use like 5 IRFz44 or any high current transistors in parallel on the output. it's a very easy circuit to make, and requires only a few components : 555 timer, switch, potentiometer, 1k resistor, a 10uf capacitor, some high current transistors, and some 1-10k resistors for pull-up/down on the switch and transistors. note that you can increase the resistor value if you decrease the capacitor value and vice-versa. these values are for ~10ms-1s pulses. note that you can also use an arduino instead, and just switch the transistors with it.

When soldering you do not heat the solder with the iron. You heat the material, such as the cable ends, with the iron and the cold solder flows into the hot wires when contact is made with the cold solder and the hot wire. Heating up the solder and putting it on a cold surface results in a joint, some of the time, which - if a joint is actually made will likely flake off.
@davidgriffin79 4 роки тому
In theory the spot welding should work better than solder but 8:43 shows the practicalities.

3:32 The terminals on the battery are not “hot and ground”. They are just “positive and negative.” If however, you grounded either the positive or negative terminal, then that could be considered “ground” and the other terminal would be “hot.” Generally low voltage DC is referred to as positive and negative. AC power on the other hand has a hot and Neutral, which makes sense because the hot side can shock you, even if you are not grounded or touching the neutral. The ground wire should not carry any current unless there is a short.

@shanebauman6555 4 роки тому
If your going to attempt this please make sure your 18650 insulation isn't damaged in any way. Especially on the top of the battery on the positive side. Directly under that white plastic circle is the negative end of the battery (on the outer rim) if that insulation gets damaged, or the sharp nickel strip cuts the plastic/insulation, you could easily get a short. Manufacturers avoid this by using an extra "o ring" of insulation they place on the top of the battery, before spot welding the nickel strips. A common name for this insulator is "fish paper". If you watch the video closely, you can see the insulating ring.

Your DIY spot welder is a good idea. However, the reason why the switch “appears” to be sticking, is NOT due to the switch. The solenoid is what is sticking. The high current is causing the internal solenoid washer to stick momentarily. This can be overcome by increasing the return spring on the inside of the solenoid. But, you can’t increase the spring to much, because the coil in the solenoid won’t be able to draw in the piston with the washer, in order to make contact, between the two high current points. Thanks for the video.

You could use a timer such as a PAC TR7 and dial in exactly how much time it takes to produces a reliable consistent spot weld.
