No, it's fine. The temp of the arc itself doesn't matter, it's the projected light that matters. The light on a welder of any type is not coherent enough to focus with a lens, which would then cause intense heat build up in one spot. It would be like trying to focus firelight through a lens to burn something. Not happening.

Yeah I used to film welding professionally for a lot of years. Not a single sensor burnt out. LASERs on the other hand are nasty stuff. And so is coal dust, so a lot of our lenses were marked if they were on-site or corporate use.

This reminded me that back in the late 80s or early 90s we were hired by Channel 10 TV in Sydney for their Towards/Beyond 2000 TV show. They were doing a spot on data CDs or something and wanted a high-power laser to do some effects. We warned them not to get their studio cameras in a position where the beam would fire straight into the lens.

After doing the spot with the guy (Iain Finlay maybe?) they wanted us to do some other effects for them just for general use so we had some smoke and did a few fans and waves. The cameraman got right into the effect but angled his machine too high and got the beam straight down the barrel of the monster studio camera. The monitor flared out and from then on there was a big black spot in the middle of it. Ouch. 7 watts of water-cooled argon tube laser.

Wish I could find the episode on Youtube but no luck so far.

This happens with rural wells with some frequency. If a few houses are close enough to each other, you can write up a sharing agreement, work out percentages for future repairs and the like.

It's that or everyone has to drill their own $10k+ hole and throw a $2k pump into it. That money can be better put to septic if you go in on a well share.

Basically this, except it was a 40' open bore well, that's now just an open murder hole.

It's a long story, but my property abuts a city street, but my house, and the sub served houses are all in the rural area of a different city, but they don't abut the street shop they can't get water, so I feed them via ancient 1950's era steel water lines. Obviously none of the easing for any of this poo poo was done properly, so it's a nightmare for me.

For thread content, here's the cracked lid on the abandoned well that I guess you just die if you fall in.

loving yikes. Are you going to put a fence or something around that or what? Or does one of your neighbors have a collie to alert people of Timmy falling in that?

You can probably build a little well house to cover it. With pallet wood or something, just, make your death pit less accessible.

I made a new, steel-reinforced cover for it, but it weighs a few hundred lbs, so I've been to lazy to drag it over the opening.

Three plastic beer pallets, one on top upside down, and one on either side standing up, ratchet strapped together through the legs is how we did my aunt and uncles well when we had to tear down the pumphouse. The dogs were too big to fit down the hole, but they had a habit of dropping toys into any hole in the ground they found.

A three foot long rubber dog bone will gum up the works of almost anything. The dogs thought they were soooo funny. The humans were less than amused.

Seriously? If it's an abandoned well, you fill it with rocks or car batteries or whatever floats your boat. Or if it's still in use/usable you put a new concrete lid. If you just put a fence around it then in a few decades of neglect the fence will be as effective as that concrete cover is.

I get that if it's abandoned, you backfill it. Though it sounds like it's still in use, so something allowing access, yet securable, would be better than a gaping hole for squirrels and rabbits to fall into.

If you don't maintain whatever you cover/secure it with, it's going to fall into disrepair, doesn't matter what you use. Something is better than nothing, though.

Seems like you're shrugging off the idea of securing a death pit because "it'll fail eventually."

No, the original concrete cover is good and if it starts cracking it needs to be replaced. The displayed state of disrepair suggests that it's not maintained at all so it's probably not in use. If it's not in use & maintained then what good is a temporary solution that will fall apart in no time at all? You need to fix it good or soon you'll be back in this situation because the land owner apparently doesn't care. That kind of crack doesn't appear overnight.

I used to work for a signage company specialising in temporary real estate signs ("FOR SALE" etc).
Our installers screwed one in to a concrete forecourt, specifically putting it right in the middle so there wouldn't be any chance of hitting anything.

The first self-tapping screw went straight through the middle of a copper water pipe buried less than two centimetres beneath the featureless surface of the slab.

Anyways this is the new cover, it's steel reinforced so it should last a good bit longer.
