摘要： A portable welding unit comprising a housing. The housing contains a first battery and a second battery connected in series. Each of the batteries is a sealed, non-spillable battery. Each battery has a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The welding unit has a first clamp electrically connected to the positive terminal of the first sealed, non-spillable battery. The first clamp extends outside the housing and is adapted to be connected to a ground of an object to be welded. A welding gun is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the second sealed, non-spillable battery. The welding gun extends outside the housing. A wire feed mechanism is located in the housing and is connected to the battery for extending wire through the welding gun. A spool of consumable electrode wire is rotatably connected to the housing. This wire is supplied to the welding gun via the wire feed mechanism. In operation, the user connects the first clamp to ground. Next, the user enables the unit so that power is supplied from the batteries contained in the housing. Once the unit is powered up and the gun trigger is activated, the wire electrode is supplied through the welding gun by the wire feed mechanism. The user may then begin welding.

摘要： An apparatus and a method for generating seismic waves utilizes a heavy flywheel positioned for rotation in a vertical plane to generate and store energy which is then transferred to the ground. The device includes two balanced hammers mounted on the flywheel as impact members. In operation, the flywheel is spun to a predetermined speed and then, on command, the hammers are extended outward from the flywheel so that one hammer strikes either a vertical or a horizontal strike member, thus providing a rapid transfer of a large amount of kinetic energy to the ground resulting in the generation of a set of seismic waves.

摘要： The invention concerns a power supply for an arc welder. A main transformer drives a plurality of secondaries. The invention provides a switching and control system that derives fully rectified power from the secondaries, at an adjustable duty cycle, and applies the power to a welding electrode. One advantage to using a plurality of secondaries is that each supplies part of the total electrode current. Thus, the rectification and duty-cycle control can be accomplished by individual devices (such as SCRs) which are distributed over the secondaries. The total cost of the individual devices can be less than the cost of a single device, of equivalent current capacity, used in a single secondary.
