Running a computer on a gas generator is risky.Problem is over voltage.I have found some generators putting out 130 to 135 volts on light loads.Back to welders.I was looking thru a 1952 Popular Mechanics magazine.Plenty of little welders advertised.The 4 Way welder was 19.95.My father in law gave me one.He got it from his brother who said it made the wiring smoke in his shop.That welder has 2 coils of resistance wire.The electrode holder can have 120 volts AC on it open circuit.I never used it because I dont want the high side of the AC line in my hand while Im kneeling on the ground.Gloves do get wet and have thin spots from wear.20 bucks was half a weeks pay for many people in 1952.The 4 way Welder was a ripoff in that time.The 70 amp 120 volt welders are still being sold.You have 2 of them that dont work .If you only weld a few hours a year you will never be a good welder.A friend who welded for a living told me that by the time you are good at welding you wont be able to see good enough.I have tried the little welders,They just dont work well.A 1/16 welding rod is hard to control.An author of the book Aircraft Welding said this.Dont try to use a cheap wire welder, It will sour you on welding and make you give it up.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are ... [Read Article]
