You have DC at your receptacles? Cool!

What you were looking for is double insulated. Even if you have something that has low voltage DC on the output, it can still have a ground. And assuming that a lot of cheap DC power supplies are "by definition isolated" is taking a pretty big chance that the manufacturer left enough isolation space and creepage on the circuit board.

What that device will do is something that everyone has done for years with lovely extension cords meant for lamps, cut the ground prong off and yer good to git er dooooone.

No it clearly doesn't land on his head or touch him at all. Just a close call, and I think I remember hearing that this dude survived.

does not having a U/L cert lead to disqualification on inspections? one of those fire causing bar outlets above may have been able to pass the inspection he failed

Nope. That was John Alexander. He shot and killed his estranged wife and her friend in the street and then led the police on a high speed chase. He died from the crash. I don't think the car crushed his melon, but he died from being violently thrown from a vehicle crashing at 100MPH. Left 3 little kids behind.

And how about no more death GIFs/JPEGs/Videos in the thread? This isn't even really OSHA related in any way.

No, but not having any certification probably would. Electric codes aren't a national thing, but most states adopt the same codes, meaning those outlets are probably legal in about three states total (assuming they're permanent, which it looks like they are, and also not just a bad joke).

Now with less breakage.

Going back to the aluminium theme a few pages ago: Down in south Norway, there's a large aluminium smelter. About a decade ago, another company built a factory that casts car parts (Porsche subframes, mostly) in aluminium right next to it. Being sensible people, they arranged a deal where they get molten aluminium on tap straight from the smelter next door.

I know there aren't any OSHA (or Arbeidsmiljølov) -violations in that summary; I just find the idea of "sure, we can lay a pipe and pump some metal over to you" kind of neat. Oh, and I'm sure the pumping and pipeline system has ample opportunity for unpleasant disasters.

You are aware that molen metals, like aluminium, are transported by truck on a regular basis. Because smelter and factory using the molten product are not always one and the same. So setting up a molten metal pipeline up for your neighbour is probably really the most OSHA way to do it.

I daresay he is because the thread talking transporting molten aluminium by road is the reason he's talking about molten aluminium at all (check his first few words). A discussion which at the start had the video of the crash you've posted a picture of with the added bonus of the newsreader talking about spilling its hot load everywhere.

I'd guess you would want to insulate what ever medium your using to transport it pretty well.

Although it would really suck if your truck broke down when you were transporting it. Would imagine it would really suck if the metal set in them.

Would the aluminum have fused itself to the asphalt? I''m trying to figure out how you clean that up. Seems like the hot aluminum would make the asphalt sticky enough to make removing it problematic.

I did some looking the last time it came up, and there are companies advertising transport casks that have heat losses on the order of 3 C an hour, so there's probably a pretty decent margin there.

I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of energy required to keep that much aluminum at that temperature is greater than can be produced by any power source that would fit on a truck (short of ongoing combustion which is probably not a good thing to drive around on public roads).

I have an image in my mind of a truck barreling down the highway at speed, flames spewing from the open coal bed underneath the tanks of molten aluminum, smoke bellowing forth and sparks flying out to all sides as it screams down the roadway....

4 C an hour heat loss from aluminum is only 250 W per metric ton, so it might actually be feasible to carry some sort of heat source to make up the loss.
