I don't fully understand what I am looking at/what happened but I am fairly confident it would kill me very very fast

The cylinders a third of the way up the image should not look like roasted marshmallows. The blades of switch in the center (it’s a knife switch like mad scientists throw dramatically in pop culture) were loose and making a high‐resistance connexion, and that generated a lot of heat.

Normal circuit breakers in the US are 15 or 20 amps at ~110-120V AC. That's a lot of energy, also they look to be able to handle 200,000 amps inrush current which is massive.

If you're Homer Simpson, you could probably grab onto these without safety gloves and survive, no problem.

This is the biggest one I keep on my shelf for a small high-rise office that has 208v service.

The single story, medium sized office building with one high bay lab I last worked in had 600A breakers for the service connect.

Captain Hygiene posted:I kinda wish I got to carry a cartoonish mallet around with me that I had to tap my car with in various places to get it to start up I used to drive crappy cars with bad starters, so I used random tools to gently tap them so the cars would start. Using a bespoke mallet would have elevated the experience, I agree.

I was a hero to a family of Mexican immigrants when I smacked on their starter while they tried it, and got them running so they could leave the Best Buy parking lot without a tow truck. They probably used the same trick for months afterwards lol

I don't actually know what that does to help start things up. Knock loose something that's seized up?

That looks like a shotgun shell starter, same as the other video a few days ago. The gas blast from the shell is fed into one of the cylinders, so it mimics a normal ignition stage. This gives the piston a kick, and delivers enough energy that the crankshaft starts moving the other pistons and the engine starts running I'm not sure what the fire is for but it's a diesel engine so maybe some part of it needs to be above a certain temperature to work

A buddy who showed me the trick claimed it's the brushes that end up disconnecting due to age/grit and the rotor position, and the knock supposedly sets the contacts back. e: I'm not a mechanic, so no idea how close to truth that was. It did sound plausible and more importantly, it worked (for months, lol)

Smashing glass (to get it to fit into the disposal receptacle or w/e) is insanely OSHA. Most of the time it's fine and then suddenly a splinter will jump towards your face like a homing fuckin missile.

The alternative to shotgun starters was the John Deere my ancestors had with a Pony Motor. The idea was that you had an electric starter start a gasoline V-4 (yes, they put four cylinders in a V) and then you'd use that to start the diesel engine. Obviously more complex and expensive than a shotgun shell, but they had the advantage of sharing coolant so if it was really cold out you didn't need a block heater for the diesel and the exhaust from the gas engine was used to heat the diesel intake. Plus, you could leave the decompression valve open and have the diesel spin over for a while building oil pressure before you let it run under its own power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyZYGKZ6AWk This guy goes way in depth on it, but his tractor is torn apart on a workbench so you don't get to see it start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwrY7eRgkPw

If you ever have the opportunity to see a nocturnal bat up close it's really interesting how you can see them squeak and your eardrums can detect that there is a sound being produced but it's beyond your range and you can't actually hear it.
