From what the website and some forum reviews I can find of it say, it is a russian design/chinese manufactured, basically uses water and electricity to create a plasma flame similar to a brown's gas torch setup, but up to 14K degrees. No gas, no fumes, no flash and UV dangers. Supposedly, this device uses 110v or 220v pulling about 2-3W to power it, but in doing so replaces mig/tig/arc/plasma/soldering tools with one device.
I looked at some welds that it did at the store I went to today and they looked pretty clean an d had deep penetration and nice corner in/corner out, though I am no expert. It is capable of plugging into an inverter and doing heavy weld work right in the field, which seems ideal for overlanding or situations where you are out in the nothing and a tie rod breaks, etc.I picked one up today instead of getting the several other pieces of equipment to weld and cut with, and am very anxious to find out how it works. Ive got (as you can see from my other posts) quite a bit of work to do on my rig, cutting, welding, blasting, painting, etc. so finding one machine that does all those things is pretty interesting to me. I will report here what I find after I have had some helmet time with it out in the shop. NOTE: I am not trying to spam or commercialize with this thing, nor am I affiliated with the company in any way. I bought one today here in WA and am generally curious if anyone here has used one as it seems ideal for people that own an older military offroad vehicle which is prone to broken metal parts. lol. Pretty much every other post I see here is about something breaking or something being worked on Soooooo, go figure.
Has anyone here heard of or used on of these? Vince? Jim?
