Duct Tape Engineer posted:I'd be more concerned about getting blasted by high power microwaves on the way down. Those towers typically have two transmitters that get shut down one at a time as the person climbs up to maintain the service. Microwave antennas are so focused that you can safely climb past the backs of the antennas. If, however, you hold a limb in front of the dish or horn, it will get cooked. If they're 10 to 100kW FM transmitters that cover a large area, it's more likely that everything's turned off and the station's using the backup transmitter tower. At least in the safe area field strenght diagrams of the national or provincial stations in my city, it is not really possible to be near the transmitting antenna on the same mast, even if you're a couple dozen meter above it. The local stuff with less than 500w is fiiiine. Those have a safe approach distance of only a couple meters in the radiating direction, much less in the null direction. Medium wave is a whole different beast. The whole mast is typically hot with RF, and if it's a 50kW thing it's hot enough to draw huge arcs. Let alone the europe-style 500kW propaganda blasters. Most MW/LW/SW transmitting stations have a smaller backup antenna. Even when you're climbing the inactive backup antenna you gotta watch out because it resonates at the same frequency and might get hot from the picked up energy. With proper grounding procedures it's safe to climb. Re: terminal velocity: yes, you will be sliced in two if you fall onto a guy wire at full speed.

Yes, that is indeed possible. Especially with LEDs it's fairly easy to do. I can light a LED connected to a resonant half wave whip antenna, up to a couple meters away from a VHF transmitter operating at 10 watts. My shortwave transmitter can light up half the string of christmas LED lights if i use my loop antenna hooked up within a few meters of it. If you have a large receiving antenna, you can light up an LED on a national medium wave transmitter's signal many (like, up to 10) kilometers away. LEDs only need microamperes to become visible. At 40km away from a 300kW transmitter i've never managed that, but the signal was powerful enough to run a crystal receiver with a hifi speaker on. It was audible throughout the whole living room, without batteries. There are a lot of variables. With incandescent bulbs, if you can get them to light up on the radiated energy, you're definitely in the 'kinda don't want to be there' zone. Same for fluorescents, but those are easy to keep lighting up once they're ignited or warm. Here's some CB guy with illegally high power lighting a fluorescent lamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSYj2lEaxhY

One of our guys did this to a hot water line in one of the hospitals we were building. It was one of those straight out of the movies comedy moments where the guy is trying to stop this pressurized blast of water that's blowing across the room like a fire hose. Like, huge deal, tonnes of water damage had to rip out lots of drywall and drying up the space. But in the moment it was hilarious to watch for like 5 seconds

Fatrick posted:One of our guys did this to a hot water line in one of the hospitals we were building. We were working on a condo where they had heated floors. They laid the water pipes, then poured gypsum leveler over everything. They specified real hardwood flooring. The carpenter's nails were just a tiny bit too long, so when they turned on the water for the flooring, the entire floor was soaked in no time at all. There was an absurd amount of punctures in the lines. I'm not sure if it was the carpenter's fault or the floor leveler guy for not pouring enough gypsum.

Scratch Monkey posted:I've had nightmares about this This is a secondhand family story, I was like 3 when this happened. My parents both used to be teachers. My mom taught math and physics. My dad taught english. During the summer, dad would go to estate sales and stuff to find old rare books and sell them to collectors (he had a whole rare book business that later turned in to a very early e-commerce company called Interloc, it was really cool). Mom would do home improvement projects to stay busy and presumably keep herself from going off and joining some weird new age cult like her sister. One summer when I was probably like 3 or 4, she was working on the basement and knocking out an interior wall in there so they could put in a new larger washer/dryer to deal with 4 sons worth of laundry (sorry mom, I love you). The way she tells it, she was talking to my dad, who was also working down there packing up some books to mail out. "Hey Richard is this wall load bearing?". And he said "No I don't think so, it runs along the joist". So she knocked it out, and when she took out the last bit of it toward the middle of the basement, the ceiling immediately got like four inches lower. She turns and looks at my dad, and he looks at her, and they each grab a toddler and book it outside. "Richard I think that wall was load bearing." "Well I'm an english professor, not an architect, but I think you're right" They got back in there with a replacement post and a couple of friends and fixed it. It turned out that my dad was partially right -- the wall was mostly not load bearing, except for the support pillar at the end, which was installed by the previous owners when THEY took out an earlier load bearing wall that was going the other direction. It turned out the previous homeowners mismeasured the support pillar when they installed it (they probably did basically the same thing my mom did, whoops) so they just put some bricks or something under it and then left them there to slowly turn to dust in a cold damp unfinished basement, which meant that my mom (who is admittedly pretty strong for a 5'3 math teacher) could take it out with one good hit.

And on the extreme other end of things, I was once working on a site where the owner more or less wanted his house completely renovated as a sort of pet project and that meant demolishing almost all of it. It's neat that you can knock out most of a house but so long as the load-bearing walls are still intact it'll hold perfectly well
