Cool Video/ What is this?

Hello all,
I found this on youtube and i'm trying to figure out what is going on.
I can tell its GMAW, but is that a globular transfer or is that what goes on with some of the newer pulsed machines?

Amazing video either way, anyone have any more like it?

Hello Clif, I'm pretty sure that it is a video of Aluminum GMAW Pulse or "modified" pulse. Meaning something like: Miller 350P, Lincoln STT, or Fronius Pulse. That's just my $.02. Best regards, Allan

Since the wire diameter is not shown, it is hard to tell, but well may be pulsed spray transfer. There is video of a similar droplet formation using conventional spray transfer on Ed Craig's weldreality.com so I can't say for sure.
