RESEARCH

The team experimented by creating different tools for sand welding and continously developed them over time, however, the main equipements used throughout this research is a 120 Ampere battery with crocodile clips attached to the positive and negative, and two carbon electrodes, touching each other create the electrical arch which reaches necessary temperatures. Reaching a temperature approximatley 1000 degrees Celsius, enough to melt the sand into a state of liquid, fusing the sand and transforming it into glass. And therefore the range of experiments was executed with carbon electrodes further. The welding process required skills and a level of craftsmanship, therefore some training process was necessary for the execution of the experiment.
