For aluminum TIG, you need Ac and continuous high frequency to keep your tungsten clean.

MIG welders don’t have continuous HF or even HF start. The welder shown is DC as well as are most MIG welders but could be wrong on this point.

This would be lift arc only and won’t work for aluminum at all.

Neat idea though.
