of course inside the small glass rods is heavy duty solid core wire.

still working on the actuall layout of this although the theory is sound

Whoa. Ansil, be careful some camera caps hold 400 volts or more, easy does it.
 So where are you buying those DC jacks for fifty cents?

And i thought you couldn't be more crazy... :twisted:

Go for it Ansil ...you maniacal crazy inventor !

Well technically it wouldn't be a MIG unless you had a canistor of argon on there. This would be closer to an arch/stick welder. You could call it a "Arch Angel".
