Homemade Gas Welding Torch

This is how you can easily make a super & simple gas welding torch with a few household material. This is just an homemade idea so that you can learn how the gas welding actually works.

Material Used:

• Water bottle
• Syringe pipe
• Calcium carbide(CaC2)

Tools Used:

• Drilling machine
• Glue gun

Make a suitable hole in the bottle cap enough to join it with the syringe pipe.

The syringe pipe is the medium to transfer the acetylene gas which is going to be produced inside the bottle by some chemical reaction.

Hot glue is applied to the inner and outer side of bottle cap to make it airtight.

Take an small amount of Calcium carbide(CaC2). Normally It looks like stone which is stored in moisture free area.

Water reacts with calcium carbide and release inflammable acetylene gas. Be careful while mixing the calcium carbide with water because the process releases an small amount of heat.

Finally ignite the torch with lighter.
