When I was a very young welder, I once did a job in a mine.  The ore car train was powered by 24 v AC .  We hooked on to the overhead 24V buss wires and used that raw AC to weld with...Very handy because it ran throughout the mine.....but hard to control and lots of splatter.......

Is that the Slovak Republic?  Or are all the pictures even in the same country.  Some of the writing in some of the photos looks like Russian, and some of the people look more mid-eastern than European.

The most JS transformer I ever saw!  Wonder where they stole the copper wire. They must have used tin cans for  lamination material. Looks like some of the stuff I build.

I like the girl.  Wonder if she really is a hooker, or if that's just a popular fashion for young girls in that country.  Perhaps they don't have the same hang-ups people do here.

The site was dead when I checked it last night, but worked fine for me right now (2305 GMT Friday).

If it is... Damn I'm Emmigratin' !!!  :o

Well, you could look up those guys to build you a modulation transformer for your ham rig.

Just a guess, It looks like a BMW Mack

Hard to believe the entire drive train parted company with the rest of the car. I think it's totaled!

The look on that fireman's face  ;D "HMMM, I think I could fix this engine and tranny. I'll bolt it in my Smart Car! That will be GREAT"

It seems that since I have visited that link I am now getting various European junk mail in French and German.  Anyone else getting the same?  ???

Most likely coincidence.  If your e-mail address is visible on a site, then a harvester probably got it and passed it on to a spammer.

I looked at a lot of the photography.  Interestng shadow work on the preceeding post.

That transformer... I would never have thought of making such a contaption.  Whoever made it, it was pretty inventive.

I have an old Popular Mechanics Book, looks like it was part of a set, that tells how to build a welder. It says if you couldn't find silicon steel for the laminations, you could flatten stove pipe sections...

Looks like those guys read PM!!

All the links worked for me.
Man, did you see what 'they' did to that Mercedes?  Merde!
Wasn't that a waste of a high grade plastic bucket?  Um, and yeah, the apparel of the Russian pickup wo' was hand embroydered. Wassa matter with this country, just exposed navels....

I think a mobile would go great with one of the cut down Yugo carts. Should drag a chain for a good ground though.
