This was the last comment I copied in a lengthy reply which caused me to drop a mouse from the arm of my chair and lose the page and my response.
I've run out of time however to repeat it. I'll try and reply again later this evening, in the mean while, drop the voltage and repeat. Then drop it again and repeat. No wiggle, wobble or weave. Straight line start to finish go.
I mentioned this electron travel thing. Forces of 70 against 30, or 30 against 70? Now, we don't have to get complicated. But if we look at the big ball on the end of your wire and try to explain it away...it's gets complicated.
In my previous post I said turn the voltage down and repeat. The reason why was to hear back what you discovered in doing so.
Over simplifying things... I tend to use what I think is relatable content, not always does it answer a question, some time it's to get the reader to see the topic differently. I ask forgiveness if this is misconstrued as dumbing it down. It's not.
4 is a good number. My buddy Brian swore by it. Anyways...with what you noticed already in this short time, you'll soon be a 6 or 7.
So some of the magic bullet moments.
That big old ball, how did it get there? Time could have been one factor. Electromotive force another.
"a difference in potential that tends to give rise to an electric current." thanks google.
So...depending on your electron theory, me keeping it simple, lets agree that turning up the WFS does nothing more then add more wire.
Can we do that? Or am I going to have to prove you wrong because you heard amperage and think like other processes it turns up heat? If you think more or less that would be great for both of us.
Voltage. The means of force that moves the electrons. I could poke you in the stomach, or I COULD POKE YOU in the stomach. The light bulb is BRIGHTER or dimmer? Is it a LARGE pot of boiling water, or a small pot of boiling water. If I said you had to walk the plank, would the width of the plank make it easier or harder to walk the plank?
https://forum.millerwelds.com/forum/wel ... ials/page3That's a pretty small wire. Let me know if any of this is making sense, helping or hindering the cause? But again simply stated, you control the size of the droplet, the force it's propelled, with where and when the droplet departs, thru setting to the power source, as well the extension of wire stick out length as you discovered. The resistance. Rebel forces fighting against the Dark side.
Tweak things you must, learn you will.
