I never knew about the alternator, but I remember my dad saying something about using older car generators for welders..

I've used a battery charger with a 100A Jump circuit before, but it took forever w/ a zinc plated coat hanger, and the weld was less then desirable... it was enough to get me home, which is really all that's necessary.

I bookmarked that article for future reference, since I'm trying to teach myself how to weld accurately. *I've pretty much got brazing down*

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
