and some people get their penis stuck in the jacuzzi do you want to do the same? copper is a better conductor ask any electrician the aluminum is just lots cheaper. I do want to see how much better tinned copper holds up to corrosion. I have heard it does but want to see some good proof in a side by side.

welding wire makes a very good power cable. I've used it before with good results. it's usually very fine strands, very flexible, and well insulated.

Copper has a higher ampacity rating. When using aluminum conductors, the standard is to go to the next recommended size for the application. That is per the NEC(National Electrical Code).
