I made this welding machine so i can use it at the cottage where i have no electricity, i will also add a converter so i can power other things. I definitely should have used a regular gasoline generator but in my country such a generator costs as much as 3 times than the parts for this. This is more like an experiment but I will definitely use it.

Amen to this comment, haters are hating because they are jealous.

All you need is to incorporate an arc stabilizer for a controlled weld. Nice build.

Using an older style general motors alternator with the internal regulator only requires a simple one wire hook up to work. They're also very inexpensive, plentiful, and are available in high amp outputs . Would have been a better option if one was available in his area

I respect all mechanical thinkers and inventors and those who aspire to make or invent something. For that you deserve a thumbs up. However for me If i was in a third world country and needed a welder and would have no chance of getting one but had these parts available, then to me this is the only way that would be a great idea. Being a welder for 40 years...and just speaking for me.... I think it best for me to leave the welding machine design to Miller, Hobart, Lincoln, Esab, HTP etc. Not only for supreme welding function but for welding safety also. You do deserve praise however for your mechanical thinking. I see how you use your ingenuity to make things out of left over parts or pieces that are usually "one off" and your idea, and i like that type of thinking. Thank You!

Love the videos but what I don't understand is why more people with awesome ideas such as yours don't narrate their videos instead of the rank music. I still loved it.

36 years ago I got my first job as a welder at a fence company. The company had an old commercially made portable welder very similar to this. Forget the brand, but it was simply a Briggs & Stratton engine with the shaft coupled to a GM alternator in a steel cage. No regulator, no battery and no rectifiers in the alternator. Obviously AC output, and I don't remember what it's maximum output was. Probably no more than 80 amps.

For people who like this sort of project, it’s important to note that delicate electronics like a laptop computer need a clean, square sine wave input. This generator will not provide that. It will give dirty power, which can damage many electrical devices. So if you build something like this, you will need to install a sine wave filter. They’re not cheap. If you’re only going to draw DC current, and then run it through a high quality inverter, that’s fine. But really good inverters aren’t cheap either.

if you're willing to go through that effort, why wouldn't you just use a good stepdown converter with current regulation to use instead of the original charging brick

This would make a good Inverter/generator with the addition of a 5000 watt inverter. Also, I would use a 140 amp GM Single wire alternator.

Can you adjust the welding output at all or does it have 1 setting? That's OK if that setting matches the metal you are working with .

some of the first welders where powered by batteries. the amish still weld in this way in my area with large implement batteries. the modified alt. mitigates the power draw and charges the batteries as well. decent packaging for low cost.

@@mrimbusyt depending on the common sense theres no ratio between smallest welding machine and this alternator ..so mentally it is impossible for the coils to withstand the75 A current even for a short time!

Many years ago I ran tests on trying to weld with car batteries. Car batteries are chemical power sources and have totally flat DC output. No pulse whatsoever. This makes it hard to arc, in fact it doesn’t arc at all. Test I did in 1980s was I hooked two batteries in series ( like they have here ) to make 24 volt and connected a large 60+ amp battery charger to help give it a little pulse and help it to arc ( a little ) which it did and made it so I could make a couple fairly normal welds with 7014 rod. The next time I attempted this I needed to at least tack a bunch of tubing together , I had two real good batteries but only a little 4 amp charger. It didn’t work as good as before but I did manage to tack my tubing together with small spot welds, kind of ‘ scrubbing ‘ the spots because I had to keep it very short - no arc power. 6011 rods What I would like to see ( and I thought that was what they were going to do ) is for to see what it does with the generator running while welding? It should help it to arc and make it much more usable. Turning it off when welding didn’t make sense, unless striking an arc with the generator running burned up the brushes or something.

So you can make it feuless by ejecting that ingine

First, you used a welder to make a welder... and you used a stick welder to make a medeocer stick welder (both can be used to scratch start TIG but you're not using either that way). Second, you don't need the batteries if you wire it correctly, I built a similar alternator TIG powered by a 5hp electric motor and used the alternator field coil to self energize once it was spinning. In my case I just mounted the whole assembly to a 2x8" board and used a headlight dimmer wired to the field coil circuit as an amp output control. Finally, you're not getting nearly 200A out of that. At near 100% efficiency (which this will get nowhere near) you'll stall that 6.5hp motor, and that belt as installed will slip and smoke WELL before that. Forget that fact that I know of very few conventional case alternators that will put out 200A and you're only using 1/3 of the output of that alternator. I'm guessing that you're limited to about 70 or so amps the way you have that setup.
