Plasma Welder

Has anyone ever heard of, seen, played with or otherwise feel like rendering an opinion on a MultiPlaz-2500 Plasma Torch/Welder ???

OK. I just surfing around the net and ran across this and it looks kind of interesting. If you bother to read the manual they have a section on what fluid to use for welding.



"To produce a quality weld seam the torch should be filled with water alcohol-solution (55% of water and 45% of alcohol or regular vodka)."



Guess where this thing was designed: Russia.



Now I can just imagine the looks from the purchasing department when one orders a case of "welding fluid".



... "Oh and by the way we need a couple of kegs of cooling fluid for the machine shop as well."



Cheers,

If you try a google groups search in the sci.physics.research and metalworking groups, you will find that:

-indeed people have discussed this device

-it's more efficient in cutting than in welding

-harbour freight had the previous model for $600 at some point.

Some good keywords: alplaz (previous name), plasma and vodka, snipped-for-privacy@aol.com (bought and reviewed it),
