About the computer fan, this is to cool the main bridge but it doesnt have to be 120 volt.
If you have a 24 volt ac fan then just hook to 24 volt side instead of 120 and when breaker is on so will be fan.
When mounting the control module to a metal platt form dont foreget to put the grease that comes with it to help cool it although it never gets hot for me.
Now thats what I would do if this was for real and not just (Educational) if you know what I mean?
The way I would do this project is start with page 1 and complete it then so on till Im done.

step 11: My Friend George Muscotts Own (Warp Drive) cutter video
Here is a friends cutter he made with my plans and he named his (The Warp Drive).
I figured you wanted a break and the next video is of the plasanator on its test stand getting a good look at the parts in place.

Congratulations, man! Very interesting though I didn't get the whole picture... It would be nice attached to a CNC machine...
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Jimwig, add a couple of coils to reduce the resistance and it will cut 1/2 inch with know problem.
jimwig says:
okay so now you know i sound good but that is about it.
tell me about the series coils. what are we talking in terms of size and inductance. i have some spike limiting coils from some stage theatrical
dimmers. the dimmers went belly up sorta so the parts are available for this great attempt.
they were 2kw dimmers with the coils in series i think so number 12 wire on a laminated core. inductance i do not know.
if someone could verbalise theory of operation that sure would be swelll and excuse me if i missed same.
great project.

You could get around that with a contactor activated by the trigger...

Good deal! I will certainly keep checking back to this. What an ingenious thing you've done here. Very nice work!

probably won't do it.. plasma cutters are high voltage/ low amperage - welder are the opposite.

Thanks a bunch one more question though, what kind of pressure does this machine require?
jandgse812 says:
bugmenot says:
35 PSI, but at what flow rate?
Thanks for posting this.

New to this. This looks amazing. You are a real go-getter. I would work on the safety issues posed. Just be careful. -p

Oh this drum was open at one end and about 50 years old.
But thank you for your input, that was great.
