i remember doing the new chillers at the U.S. Mint. 4200 volt GE Multilin starters we had to rewire the internals to go from one brand spec to another in terms of interlocks. we had to bring the ge tech in to program a few things like ramp timing, fla, etc. when we turned that sumbitch on that poor dude was crapping his pants, lol. |

You're the same guy that thought a few 6" pipes would be enough water to supply a typical plant if I remember correctly. |

That’s nothing. I’ve got a 50kv bobulator with a water cooled step up transformer putting out 1.2 jiggawatts to a pure goobernium whackotron that feeds my super strongium fleshlight boner zapper.

One of the guys from the company brought back a part they needed to be replaced. He said "We had a little problem" with a big grin. The copper bar was 4" wide and 3/4" of an inch thick ( rounded edges) and started life 10" long. It was now about 6" long and the missing part looked like "hot fingers" scooped out the copper. I asked WTF happened and he said it was quite loud as the copper turned to vapor and disappeared due to a short. F that. I'll work on multi ton weldments in the lathe before I work with anything more than house current. ( yes, I know 120VAC can kill you ) |

When the first DDC systems came out and we were doing hospital work, the engineers weren't confident that the DDC system would work so we had to install a redundant pneumatic system plus the electronic system. Now all we install is electronic and I'm the only one that can tell the youngsters what to rip out in the old control panels! |
