Wasabi the J posted:I know that the average F-35 pilot knows better than I do, but that looked like it could have easily been handled by cutting the throttle after crashing with less damage than blowing the canopy and cooking the cockpit. You are presuming that he did not already cut the throttle and the engine listened. This is an F-35, it works only by the grace of god when it does.

No pictures but my friend changed a light switch this morning without turning off the breaker and nothing happened. She mentioned this to her Electrical Engineer husband who was like "You turned the breaker off right?" She thought he was just being "Fussy" so when she went to replace an outlet in the same room she still didn't turn off the breaker and got zapped by house current. She has since learned that she was just very lucky earlier and he wasn't being fussy.

I've been hit so many times I'd probably be a subject in this thread if there were cameras around. I've definitely dropped a line with house current into my lap and hit my junk and leg. I once carried a motorcycle battery and a GIANT transformer in a gym bag to school and used to surprise people with wires taped to my hand and a push button switch. In our electronics class when a kid was getting too annoying we'd start playing with the tesla coil and then someone else would show them the trick off grabbing the coil and then waving their hand around and giving off sparks. And then he'd grab their wrist to show them it was no big deal once you grabbed the source. Meanwhile behind them i'd grabbed the grounding rod and then i'd touch the inside of their elbow or their earlobe or something. Yes I was a little poo poo as a teenager why do you ask? Edit: Oh yea, there was another one where I was working on making a jacob's ladder with a neon transformer and I went to turn it off at a rocker switch and my leg touched one of the leads. This was fine, except that when I turned it off the kickback from the field collapse surge blew right through the rocker switch and hit me hard enough to stop me from breathing. I don't know if the chest compressions I did on myself against the side of the bed helped or not, but it loving hurt. CainFortea fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Jan 10, 2023 |

I've rented these things out in the PNW and they work wonderfully and you're a fool to try and pressure wash a driveway without one. Even without a hot water pressure washer it's leagues better than just wanding.

Well, the curved outside edges on the bottom 3.5 stairs is probably a problem. Also the fact that there's no kick boards are just begging for you to break your face going up them at some point.

Luneshot posted:I'm trying to figure out what the dark haze around the smoke column is- I think the smoke plume is continuing above the clouds and casting a shadow, as seen on weather satellite? It's not continuing above the clouds. It is the cloud. That's the problem. It's not dissipating and is just dispersing evenly around in a big ole lenticular cloud over the area. It's a mushroom cloud but more in the shitake mushroom and not the white button type.

The parts he's grabbing is the insulation. Once the wires are touching he's safe* to touch the actual wires as long as he stays insulated from ground via the flip flops. *for various values of safe Zomborgon posted:My only guess is that some of those cables are circuited in parallel with the others so the two halves are already at the same voltage, thus there isn't a potential across his arms If there was no potential there wouldn't be any sparks.

Zomborgon posted:I could have sworn he was touching the contact prongs but perhaps not both at once It's the potential energy differential that makes anything with electricity happen. Any work done is caused by it, so motors spinning, buzzers buzzing, sparks zapping. But if you watch it again you'll see he only ever has one point of contact with the wires until such time as the wires are already touching. And he's not grounded so that time he grabbed the wire without insulation there was nowhere for it to go. I've held a single contact of a 5kv transformer while the other contact was being held by someone else and I wasn't grounded and was fine. It was very stupid though.

Captain Hygiene posted:Occupational Superbowl Halftime Administration For those of you who haven't seen the greatest halftime show ever made, and one of the best concerts produced, first enjoy this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WYYlRArn3g Now as to why it's topical in this thread. https://www.theringer.com/music/2020/1/29/21112539/prince-halftime-show-oral-history-super-bowl-xli quote:It was just unheard of to have a driving rainstorm in February. So everybody started watching the radar and everybody kept telling us that the good news is that the radar looks like it’s gonna clear up when the show goes on. We had no Plan B. quote:The morning comes, and I get up really early, and it’s storming. It wasn’t like rain. It was like somebody was throwing buckets of water at the window. quote:the executives were concerned about the rain and about electrocution and they were like, “We can always pretend that you’re singing” and have everything off and just play the track. And Prince was like, “I’m Prince, I’m gonna play live.” quote:I finally heard from one of the people downstairs and I said, “Is Prince OK?” And then he said, “He wants to know if you can make it rain harder.” I was like, “We’re gonna be OK quote:That stage had a bunch of moving parts and it was pouring rain. Supposedly part of the stage wheeled over a cable and severed the cable, and some very heroic guy had to plug in this cable in a pouring rainstorm and probably risk serious electrocution. quote:There was a man on our lighting crew whose name was Tony Ward. And Tony, realizing we were now counting down to going on the air, took his pliers and stripped the insulation off the three cables. And he inserted them into a plug, just raw, and held that for the entire 12-and-a-half-minute duration, in the rain. quote:You just have to realize that the floor is this slippery tile. It looks dope but when it got wet it was like standing on glass. Also it entertains me greatly that Prince, a man famous for not wanting to do press conferences, did one for the halftime show. And instead of answering any questions he just did a concert at the press
