You can still figure out from ratio of likes to views. Less than one percent is kind of trash.

@@Twigpi the like/dislike count never come anything near the views.

@@thatguy6214 Hence why a ratio is applicable in this situation.

Yep, to discharge it safely slap a resistor (1kohm should do the trick) on its terminals and leave it there for a while, you will be able to measure 0V at the terminals once it's fully discharged

Indeed, discharge the capacitor first. I was AEG technician. Discharge with insulated pliers (electrician tools, not your hobby pliers) is also possible.

@@geerttampere6765 just short it with a screwdriver, and you get a big spark if there's any juice in it. Even the most sihtty screwdrivers have excellent insulation.

@Jo Veteran. I know. I did it also like that if the pliers were not in the neighbourhood. But I don't recommend that in public 😜

Yes, and if you don't know what that is do Not attempt this

Hahaha true

What are those 50 other things?

Spot welder = $180.00 Rigged microwave/spot welder = $750 + your only day off... *provided EVERYTHING goes PERFECTLY

A lot of people who work on things already have a lot of that stuff. If my microwave stopped working then I can do this and it really wouldn’t cost anything just time.

The difference between a “gifted” person and someone who thinks they’re not is deciding something you’d like to do and then doing it. All the resources are at your local hardware store and all your lessons are right here on the internet. Don’t be jealous. Just do things or decided you’d rather not and be happy with it.

Some people are ridiculously gifted with engineering skills at what they went to school for 🙄.

Smart guy...nice piece of equipment

It really wasn`t that complex what he built from an electrical/engineering point of view.

It would have been very helpful if you provided a list of materials and how/where to source them.

I saw that, too. Definitely need a grommet with strain relief.

Let guess you don't want to pay for them either. Really rude dude.

I want more info! It not I dont dare to make it. Bu I really want it!

@@richb2752 right 🤣 be this such an easy build I don't think I'd need any plans for it come on you got two eyeballs don't you people?

Agreed, a simple wiring diagram would add so much value to the build. Sure we can figure it out ourselves, Just saying.

Better yet a cable gland, it would insulate and act as a strain relief so it doesn't rip the live wires from the wagos and make the whole case live

Stay quiet? We're providing a simple, yet highly effective safety measure...

I would 100 % use a plastic casing for a high stakes DIY project like this. Just 3D print it. Don't want to risk it the amount of amps getting pushed through that transformer is no joke.

​@@mithrandirthegrey7644 amps are high at the very low voltage only. On mains side the amps aren't more than only 4-5 A for 230V microwave oven. Grounded metal cover/case/structure is the only way to go. When you look at the industrial grade power tools, all high performance machines are designed like this.

Cool

Do you know the what that yellow item was towards the end?

@@MN-sc2uz i am also looking about the yellow small item which is connected to transformer

What gauge wire would you suggest? Thinking 3/0

That's cool, this one is totally unsafe too.

Yes

Clickbait. - It's just an used modified voltage transformer. - Luckily ;) :)

If you don't understand what's going on, then keep your fingers out of microwave internals. You are not worthy.

I bet you can understand those useless TikTok videos

Except he's not showing how to discharge the capacitor. That's going to hurt someone.

@@percyfaith11 what capacitor?

@@jonathan5269 There is a capacitor in close proximity to that coil he is removing. If contacted it can cause serious injury.

@@jonathan5269 they are talking about the one in the microwave

Check out Grant Thompson over at "The King Of Random" DIY welders and things like that when he ran the channel before he died

The only way that might shock you is if your body completes a circuit path across the two terminals of the capacitor somehow. Bashing the oven with a hammer that has a wooden handle isn't gonna do it. Neither will touching only the case. The only time I saw a chance of that happening was when he removed the transformer. I'm not certain, because I haven't seen a microwave oven schematic for a while, but I believe that the capacitor is connected in parallel with the secondary winding of the transformer. If that is the case, there's no way it could hold a charge. But, if you're still worried about that, just do what we TV techs used to do with the old CRT type televisions. Remove the cover. Yes, you can do that (contrary to what the manufacturer may tell you) without getting shocked. Just make sure it's unplugged first, and don't just go sticking your hand (or any other bodily appendage 😂) up inside there while touching the case. Next, take a well insulated screwdriver and stick it across the capacitor terminals first thing, immediately after removing the cover. That'll discharge it for sure.

@@lewis2553 I stuck my hand in the VCR one time a got shocked when I was a kid. LOL

@@lewis2553 nope! High voltages means that air can be a wire. Ask me how I know. Keep your left hand in your pocket and you won't be dead but microwaves are the number one killer of electronics hobbyists. We should not be advising people to open these. It's not just one capacitor like a crt.

I thought the same exact thing. Capacitors kill! Back when I did a bunch of scrap metal salvage mainly copper bronze and aluminum I always kept a probe to drain them whenever I came across them. Some ended up being hot some not but that's better than finding out the hard way

If someone knows enough about electronics to be able to build a spot welder from microwave parts, chances are better than zero that he/she will be aware of the supercapacitors and how to discharge them.

@@vnnyavalos very good woman

Don't forget the sticker

All that, but no screwdriver to take the cover off.

Did you try to use MMA welding cable? Maybe are tough enough to resist more then regular PVC insulated cables.

Better crimping too

Actual welding cable and a proper crimp tool are key

Hi guys.. thanks for all the tips, yes i bought propper cable from a welding shop, but clearly as i discovered you need cable with either rubber or silicone insulation as the normal plastic, pvc doesnt do the job. As for the crimp, i not only crimped but also soldered the joints so contact there were very good😀😄👍

If your wire insulation is melting, it's not the insulation material. Rather you undersized your conductor (wire).

The magic smoke will cause a rebuild.

Question, how would the relay help?

Most of us spot weld lithium batteries, after we buy a few fire extinguishers.

Most car skins are spot weld together so it's useful for auto body work

hi what?

Buenas Franco y para que sirve se relay que coloca junto al forzador y el trafo

@@psi4262 Tesla Coil and high voltage traveling arc.

Beware of the ceramic insulator made with Beryllium. If you break it and breathe in the dust, you can get BERYLLIOSIS... a nasty incurable disease that screws up your lungs.... look it up. Besides that, the capacitors in a microwave can possibly store power for years... enough to send you to the hospital, damage your heart, or put you 6 feet in the ground if your unlucky.

A microwave transformer is probably one of the deadliest things you can have in your home. Way too many people die messing with it because they don't know enough electrical engineering to be safe.

Someone's going to end up copying this and it will go wrong.

@@originalityisdead.9513 That's what I'm worried about

шляпа, так, на поделки сойдёт. по факту в районе сварки дикий пережёг металла.

@@Krik.. это нужно больше витков толстого провода делать?

@@vOLEGoff не в этом дело. надо увеличить давление на контактную группу и соединяемые детали, но при этом уменьшить время и увеличить мощность разряда. т.е., это совсем другая конструкция и устройство контактной сварки. Вы же видели, как собирают кузова автомобилей? прижим, фиксация, короткий мощный импульсный разряд. в этой самоделке ничего этого нет и хоть сколько балуйся с количеством витков на вторичке - она не будет работать подобно фабричной. здесь слишком растянут процесс сварки, поэтому он ближе к кузнечной.

@@baltasavr здесь есть видео постройки контактной сварки на основе транса от микроволновки, в котором описываются все нюансы, от выбора проводов до состава металла, из которого выточены контакты. ну, и сделана та установка совершенно на другом уровне, хотя тоже не без изъянов.

Для этой штуки нужен ещё латр и водяное охлаждение для электродов, и использовать для пайки а не сварки!!!
