10KV to fire magnetron in counter battery radar. Took six marines to stop
me from burying my screw driver in the chest of the asshole that thought it would be cute to push the radiate button. -- 73 es cul wb3fup a Salty Bear "Dr. Anton Squeegee" wrote in message ... In article , Paul Burridge says... The question seems daft, but bear with me, gentlemen. Has anyone ever had an electric shock that they feel lucky to have survived? 800+ VDC off the plate supply of an old Gonset GSB-100 transmitter once. Fortunately, it was all along one arm. It knocked me across the room, and left a nice first-degree burn at the contact point. Doubt I'd be around to type this if I'd been working with both hands at the time. -- Dr. Anton Squeegee, Director, Dutch Surrealist Plumbing Institute (Known to some as Bruce Lane, KC7GR) kyrrin a/t bluefeathertech d-o=t c&o&m "Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati" (Red Green) |

I remember hearing the story of an Air Force tech working on a 30' radar dish. For some dumb reason, someone energized it and promptly microwaved him to death. Some of these stories are hair rasing... and I'm too much of a weenie to stick my tongue on a 9V battery... http://www.labsafety.com/search/resu...ockout&x=0&y=0 Seems to go along well with "keep one hand in your back pocket" and "don't work on this stuff while standing in a puddle of water". -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

A Raytheon corporate legend is that one of the engineers discovered the microwave oven principle when a radar melted a chocolate bar in his shirt pocket. |
