That's something I should do sometime.
The last time I went to work out my weights were starting to rust. That's a bad sign.
I should do that tonight once the wine wears off, actually.
Smoked up the house badly with the steak but it was delicious. I need a 8000cf/m exhaust fan :awe:
That reminds me way back when I was little, there was a boy that got into trouble because he didn't know better. The TV in the commons room suddenly "blew up" and unlike a hissy Note7, it really did bang and put out smoke and made the lights flicker.
We all hustled out of the room quickly, the smoke was thick and the fire department arrived and opened the doors and brought in big fans to clear the smoke. Later it was found the TV suffered a colossal failure. The TV set had numerous coins in the bottom that caused the power supply to fault.
The boy admitted to putting coins in the back because the slots resembled the slots on a coin bank and he was putting them there to be safe.![]()
Hahahaha that is hilarious. yeah those CRTs would pack a punch especially if it shorted out the high voltage supply lol.
I tried to make a really powerful electromagnet by attaching a nail and wire electromagnet to a 110vac socket :awe: melted fuses in the school. I got blackened fingers.
Those Mallory electrolytic cans were like big firecrackers.
That's doable you just have to use a sufficiently small gauge wire and a lot of turns.![]()
Forget hydraulic presses, red hot knives and nickel balls! I want to see a N56+ class neodymium magnet the size of a beachball rolling down a hill in San Francisco full of cars!![]()
