The vendor does seem to market it like an "As Seen onTV" product.  I am not a welder but claims of 100%duty cycle may be overrating it much. 

Thanks, hadn't noticed the link. I agree, 100% duty cycle is only common on the bigger gas powered units, even if the engine is capable, how long would a alternator that size be capable of putting out full power??
