https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSGTn8zzchQ From about 4 hours ago. With the prevailing wind tending from east-north-east to east-by-north, the fumes are being blown across the whole of Big Island. Should just be a vague bad-egg smell for the most part though, but up close it could definitely be hazardous. The live feed of fissure 17 that has been linked a few times has progressed to the point where the spatter piles around the eruption are more than half as high as the lava spray itself.

Lurking Haro posted:I wouldn't worry about it as a shock hazard since they are commonly used for charging fork lifts and such, but if the isolation looks like that, I'm worried about the crimp on the contracts. Nothing like pulling the cable right out (and causing a short). Why wouldn't it be a shock hazard? Does the charger know not to turn on until connection has been made or something? Or really low volt? I constantly have to plug/unplug our forklift and I understand why those cables wear out like that, it's almost impossible to unplug it from the charger only grabbing onto the plastic part. Ours is still pretty new so it doesn't look anything like that but I've always wondered what would happen when people start yanking it by the cables.

let me know if you're sick of Kilauea posts and I'll cut it out but here's one that people might not have seen. Circled in red are the two USGS volcanologists who went down to the lava stream to take some samples yesterday. Geologist-for-scale gives you a real sense of how big this poo poo is.

Ours is still pretty new so it doesn't look anything like that but I've always wondered what would happen when people start yanking it by the cables. In my last job I used a forklift pretty often, and the charger didn't turn on until a second or two after you plugged the truck into it, although it would be still running if you went to take the truck off before it fully charged. And while it wasn't super smooth, it was easy enough to unplug by only holding the plastic connectors online and pulling them apart. I think our charger was 36v, though I don't what the amperage was. I feel like the cable that was posted above wouldn't be safe, even if the machine can't kill you.

Ours is still pretty new so it doesn't look anything like that but I've always wondered what would happen when people start yanking it by the cables. Low voltage. Forklift batteries normally don't go beyond 48V. From the look of it it's even just a power stacker. The isolation might even have been fine during installation and people pulling on the cables pulled it back. Those connectors don't have any strain relief. evil_bunnY posted:500VDC, yikes I see you looked up the specs.

evil_bunnY posted:Thought it was an EV fast charge interface. Those connectors actually are rated up to 600V, though the contacts are hardly recessed and they have an IP10 rating. They are called Anderson SB connectors. Actual EV interfaces don't power up until plugged in and the vehicle gives an OK. Other posted:What does a server room need with a Sagger Missle? It serves as a door stop when the room heats up in the summer. Lurking Haro fucked around with this message at 15:52 on May 21, 2018 |

Tafferling posted:I call bullshit, how high should the trees in the background be? Several kilometres? This is the guy running the stream when he walked out to the flow last evening. The camera is a bit over a half mile from the fissure and the telephoto lens flattens the perspective. The plumes are ~150ft high. Stream just restarted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnUr5bhWrBc 6AM local. Fissure 20 in view. Rusty is awakening. Anthony, aka Civil Beat, is back on the main island so don't expect them to pan around the camera to show off the laze coming off the ocean or fissure 17 as much as he did this weekend. The other folks staying at the house are as interested in interacting with chat as much as he was.

Jusupov posted:"The lava fountain you are seeing is about 350ft" dang It might be, it does look larger than it was a few days ago, but don't trust chat. 350ft would be a freefall of 4.75 seconds. I'm clocking it closer to 175ft. Just a heads up: 4chan quite active in the chat. They do have a nice information directory though: http://happdir.com/KVG/kvgdir.html Community eruption map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?hl=en&mid=1CvBhH9wEeztBrqYbsGDi4YjU1k1QH5AL&ll=19.47863521634182%2C-154.8763683794274&z=15

So what stops all of the surrounding vegetation from becoming one giant brush fire? Is it just too wet? I feel like with the constant heat source sitting there eventually everything would dry out and then burn, but I keep seeing pictures of theses fissures in the middle of lush looking forests.

shame on an IGA posted:The title of SAL's geologist thread is not a coincidence. He was more of a stickler for safety than his engineer cohorts, and I still ended up with holes in my jeans from being a 12 year hold handling H2SO4, HCl and NaOH on work trips. That being said, not even vulcanologists drink as hard as the paleontologists. I had a weird childhood.
