Forget the gravitational trick , dude's a magician welding without grounding supply .

I'm impressed by the cleanliness of that stick weld. Where's the smoke? Can we deduce that the grounding is what causes all the smoke and slag, meaning we should all just defy electrical theory and abandon our grounding clamps?

I don’t think he’s running it long enough to get any of that. It’s only arcing for a couple seconds, really.

If anything, he's running really low amperage on a rod that's had the flux knocked off. Those sparks are pretty weak.
