Thermite is actually roughly equal proportions of iron powder and aluminum powder, densely packed. And, yes, it produces a _really hot_ fire. Thermite was perhaps the earliest welding process for lar

For beginners, I agree this is good road to take. Seek out any courses given in your area. If one doesn't have that option or a TIG welder at hand, practice first with oxy-acetylene welding. Hand pos

Depends upon the power required and the type of equipment. Welders, because they are a reactive load, aren't well-suited to phase conversion. 3-phase motors, however, can be run on either static or r
