By the way, I included the definition list for my own understanding as well as others, who unlike you, may not be familiar with the many terms in the welding field.
What does AAC stand for. I have Googled it but no luck. If it is not for open publication can you PM me?
oops, have I already breached forum rules? What rule are we on the brink of? Sorry I haven't read them in a few years.
No worries strantor. You haven't broken any rules at this point. Generally posts regarding dangerous projects are left to the discretion of the moderators based on the experience level of the OP, and how the posts might be replicated by someone who does not have experience. For example, I have seen many Tesla coil posts here. Some were created by people who clearly did their research, who understand how they work, the dangers, and the safety precautions needed. The discussions are kept very open and clear to ensure that anyone else reading it also knows and understands the dangers associated with those sorts of projects. Other Tesla coil posts are clearly made by people who haven't done any research and have no electronics experience whatsoever. They don't know the dangers and just saw something that they thought looked cool and wanted to replicate. Threads like those, where even after several responses the OP still doesn't know what they're doing and shows no hope of learning, are closed because it endangers not only them, but anyone else following the thread.
If we see a post from someone that appears to not know what they're doing, we (the moderation staff) discuss it and determine whether or not to close the thread.
There are some topics that are absolutely not allowed:
