A “stick welder” is just a big transformer. It converts relatively high voltage from the wall socket into the low voltage, but very high current needed for welding. The heat comes from current flowing in an electric arc: you clamp one wire (ground) to your workpiece and the other to the end of a welding rod, which is consumed as the weld is made.
