Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I tried to get a pic of a finished, dried tank before they got packed but I was too late. Here's a pic after I sandblasted them and washed them in our acid tank this morning, I was rinsing them with de-ionized water which is the last step before they're ready to dry and pack.

 

I couldn't do that. My oldest would get up with the chickens, but by 11 am she would be a bear. We largely have them trained to wake up about 8am.

 

I put new batteries in this and also plugged it in, it didn't do anything. Still not sure what it does. Any ideas?

 

Our 5 year old daughter will get up wide awake anywhere from 5-8 AM. We never know when it'll be.

 

The meter tester? Looks like battery leaked and not making good contact.

 

I sanded the contacts, it had power going to it. The light came on on the front after new batteries, nothing ever came on when I plugged it into the receptacle though.

 

Might have popped fuse? Check the fuse

 

I'll check it but what is this thing? It has one wire coming out with a clamp on it. What does the bar inside it do? I'm no electrical guy in case you haven't noticed

 

I have no Idea I have scoured the net wondering myself.

 

I sent pictures to a friend who works on welders for a living and is an electrical guru but I haven't heard back from him.

 

Capacitor im guessing

 

Whats model #

 

He just sent me a chirp back and said "no idea, never seen anything like it". It has to be the only one ever built if he didn't know

 

It doesn't have any numbers on it, looks like there was a sticker on the front where the switch is at one point but it's gone. That was why I opened it up to see if there was anything inside to go off of.

 

Maybe contact the manufacturer and get an email to send them pictures of the thing?

 

Theres a number under the clamp on the bar but i wouldnt move the position of it. Since it might be at a specific location for a reason

 

Is it a plasma cutter?

 

I'm thinking it has something to do with a plasma system, I don't remember where I got it. I think it was thrown in on some things I bought years ago.

 

I don't understand just having one clamp though.

 

I found their email and sent them a picture and ask what it is, I'll report back with what they say.
