Welder/Research Development

Components

• Arc stabilization - putting an inductor in series with the welder allows for electric current momentum to blast through spots that require more current. See mid of [1]

Research

• Current of a MIG welder is determined by the feed wire diameter. See typical currents - [2]
• Typical voltage 15-24 v - [3]

Analysis of Open Source Industry Standards

The open source welder industry does not exist yet, but here are some prototypes:

• http://diy-welder.com/
• Spot welder - most searches for Arduino Welder result in spot welders - [4]

Team

• Discussion with Michael Kadie
