You know what I meant...

Jeez, I can't believe I did that. Wait... Yes I can.

I had a Physics professor in college who told us about an extremely high voltage setup he was working on with another guy. It was enclosed in a fence with a door that when opened, would drop down a grounding pole to the setup so all the energy (stored in capacitors) would be dissipated before you could get to the table. The other guy wanted to take a measurement while the thing was running and disabled the safety. He went in, touched the setup, and was killed. When will people realize the safeties are there for a reason?

Hey Jim,

BIG SNIP

Whooooaa!!! What was the result of THAT?!?! Back in the 1970's, when I used to do elevator service in a heavy water plant, it was my understanding that if you smelled that, you were dead. I suppose that a "little bit" wouldn't be deadly, but Thank God I never found out at all. They supplied Scott AirPaks just in case the big sirens went off. And from ANY open area in the place, there was a windsock visible. The place was on a "point" into the lake, and it did always sort of bother me that with the prevailing winds, you'd end up in the lake to get upwind.

Take care.
