Why does welding create sparks? âĄ
Om avsnittet
Did you know the welding arc can get even hotter than the surface of the Sun? đ„Â
This week, we meet Rudy Rodriguez, a welding instructor at Weimar High School in Weimar, Texas. Together, we discover how welders use heat to join metal together, why they wear special helmets, what causes those bright sparks, and how welding helps build everything from playgrounds and roller coasters to bridges, airplanes, and even rockets!
