Is it technically riding a unicycle if you are holding onto something with two more wheels?

You goons are gonna love this poo poo. I had a new painter referred to me yesterday. He says "hey, these floors are all messed up, we can sand and varnish them for you for $1000". Sounds good I say. I come back when they're done, and I see they have an industrial floor sanding machine that is 220v. Except, I know for a fact there are no 220v outlets in the entire building. "Did you run an extension to a portable generator or something?" He says no, he ran an extension 300ft to the basement. "But the basement doesn't have 220v either". He says yeah, I have a special cable. I had to go check this out:   I am in awe of how dangerous, illegal, and dangerously illegal that was.

Like it works, but oh my God an commerical/industrial floor sanders running only on the house breaker. Shorting 100A-200A at 220V would have been a sight to see. 22kW of oopsie daisy. Edit: the electrical tape insulation is great too. The longer I stare at this the worse it gets. Alligator clips that he's slapping onto live terminals, and the ground just goes to the box.

So why did you lie and say you didn't have 220 when you clearly had it in the basement?

Dare I even ask of the plug end had a Fuze? Not that it matters, since that beautiful at least once repaired cord is going to be the short, but it's the thought that counts.

It hasn't been repaired, they're just using that trick where you wrap it in tape to make it look repaired so nobody steals it!

That rules. It’s wildly unsafe but it rules anyway. There’s a way to make this much safer with an inline breaker that gets screwed into a basement joist (which also acts as strain relief), but no one’s gonna do that if they’re willing to do this lol

Lol I just looked close enough to realize he used alligator clips to the breaker box. What you're supposed to do is get one of those double header 220v cords that you plug into the wall on two different circuits with different phases. They sell those on Amazon for charging your car and rubbing your dryer and it's even slightly better build quality than that thing.

I actually did tell him about that, though we'd need to ask a neighbor in another apt. My apartment has one single 15a breaker for the ENTIRE apartment. It's only 500sqft but still, I need to see how much it would be to have it upgraded, running wiring through a 120yr old brick complex.

I installed/finished hardwood floors for about 5 years out of high school and can honestly say that I have seen people do this, even 18 year old me knew it was incredibly stupid. It wasn't uncommon to accidentally run over the cord with the sander which would sometimes cut through all the insulation on the cord and cause sparks to fly. We carried various plugs so we could use the 220v from the dryer or stove or we would install our own breaker and use that directly. Worse case we used the double header but it was always kinda a pain. Some sad OSHA was a boss of mine had bought all his sanding gear from an estate sale, the previous flooring guy died when the fumes from the finish were ignited by a pilot light in the basement.

He even had an alligator clip for the ground, that's clearly a safe and well engineered setup. At 600V per wrap of vinyl electric tape that cord should be good for everything from 120 to 4kV lines.Bondematt posted:Lol Instantaneous current for a direct fault is MUCH higher, it depends a lot on how much wiring is between your load and the transformer, but it's somewhere in the neighborhood of a few thousand amps, with a possible maximum of about 20,000, and what's worse is the main breaker has a deliberately higher Instantaneous trip time and current than the branch circuit breakers, so you don't roll your chair over a lamp cord and lose power to your whole house, so you'll be able to get some real fireworks/plasmafied copper before you trip that, I'd bet money on the alligator clips burning open before the breaker trips.

Another fun flooring fact I just remembered! If you hit a nail while sanding the floor (happened all the time) the spark could make it's way into the dust bag and smolder there for hours before igniting the entire bag of super fine dust. I never saw it first hand but I heard stories of dust bags burning down homes or burning holes through the floor over night because the workers didn't empty it. I worked for a guy who would get rid of the dust from the bags/vac by putting in it open trashcans in the back of the pickup and drive down the freeway. He was an rear end in a top hat.

At 600V per wrap of vinyl electric tape that cord should be good for everything from 120 to 4kV lines. Depending on the upstream transformer size, impedance, wire size, grounding wire size, and the exact nature of the "oopsie", you can get ground faults on on the other of 10-25x the steady state amperage. The "10,000 amperes rms symmetrical" on the breakers in your box tell you the maximum fault current it can handle before the fault is too strong for that breaker to clear (usually the breaker explodes when that happens). It's why the REALLY big main breaker service panels have 200A breakers that cost 4x what a regular 200A breaker would, they're generally rated for 40k or 50k amps rms. You can play around with https://tools.se.app/faultcalc/FaultCalc.html if you wanna see how big a number you can generate. Regular residential pad mount transformer to a 200A panel can see a fault current north of 20k amps for however long it takes the upstream fuses to pop. Calculating how horrific the arc flash from that would be is a much more complicated set of formulas, but a bad fault using industrial power runs the gamut from 'badly burned', to 'died of spontaneous plasma assisted skin removal' to 'a shadow on the wall and steaming clumps of ashes'.

And yes, you want to restrain the hooves well because if they move on you you could very easily cut into living tissue/corium and that's a bad time for all involved. Yeah corium is bad news. The prescribed tool for dealing with corium is an AK‐47.

He was an rear end in a top hat. Yesterday I saw a truck drive past with some petrol cans in the back. A yellow one for diesel, a red one for petrol, and a second red one with “diesel” written on it. But that’s not the fun part: despite the lids being on the cans they were spluttering and throwing out splashes of diesel as he drove and the cans were covered with spilled diesel. I wasn’t able to find a way to get them to notice me and stop, but I wish him luck in his future endeavours.

Cthulu Carl posted:I guess what threw me was that it looks like the restraints disengage on their own which stuck in my mind as meaning that they MUST engage similarly. Some have hydraulic controls. I think the one in the video with the big bull does as well, you see the operator kick at one of the legs, I think it's to nudge it in position for the clamp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmkcAcbwNGQ I don't think it's automatic though, the operator in this video appears to look at the remote to reposition for the next clamp each time he does a different leg. It could definitely be linked in with "is cow tipper 90% upright and rising? -> release all legs", but it could also be the operator doing it. That said most of the ones on youtube seemed to be just a chain you'd apply and remove manually.
