A few even walked around me. |

Working on robots in High School. I was in the advanced tech course.
I was trying to retrofit a H0 Scale Model Train Set to run off a very simple computer chip, with full working lights just like on the rail lines. (My hometown used to be a major rail repair station, as well as a mining center.). Well, it was an old set I was working with (Donated by a fellow student), and the power source on it was practically direct from the main power line, and quite frayed near the base of the controller, but didn't appear so from the outside. The Instructor stated that he expected the rest of my group should have checked up on me to make sure I was OK. I had to remind him, again, that he refused to let me into one of the groups (It was a group project) as I was the "Odd Man Out" and he didn't want to give a team an "Unfair Advantage" of having one extra person. So I was given the unfair disadvantage of working by myself, and doing the job of four people. After the electrocution, I ended up just helping my friends in the class anyhow, and got their project going in just enough time. Even if we, um, well, cheated a bit. It was obvious that I wasn't going to be able to get it done in time or to any degree. (And, yes, I did ask for help. Denied. Again, "Unfair Advantage against the others."). I failed that course, BTW. Cost me the advanced certificate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) |

Yeah... Yes it was. Hindsight, I think he thought I was currying favor due to various things that happened during my years in High School, and that I needed to be "Brought Back To Reality".
Or he just hated me. |

QUOTE (Omenowl @ Feb 9 2011, 02:31 AM) Most electrified fences use pulses. You definitely feel it, but if you don't connect well with the ground it will have less impact than if you touch it wet and barefoot. I will say this much while it hurts it was only on the 5th time of getting shocked while trying to feed a horse that I figured I would go inside to turn off the wire. I just laughed when I got shocked because it funny even though it hurt. had a close encounter with a electric fence for cows once, while also being in contact with a basic wire grid fence. *ZAP*... |

I have only been hit by the 3 joule electric fence. I would probably have a whole different view with a 10 joule electric fence.

On the ground, dropping a heavy metal plate across the concertina wire kinda works too. Or even just plywood.

If it's thick enough, you can use the floor mat of your Ford Americar. I suggest getting a Winter Floormat, as it's made of Rubber (Or a synthetic) and will also prevent any issues with electricity along the wire. The rest of the fence is up to you. (If you're in Seattle, a Winter Floormat is a good idea as well, as it is designed to catch water and let it evaporate rather than soak your carpet-style floor mat and start to rust out the bottom of the footwell.).

Else: ask your team troll to help you with this. Or if you only have an elf, push him in there to get it out of the way. This also helps with the question:"i wonder if this is an electrical fence?" *pushes elf into it* |

QUOTE (Omenowl @ Feb 9 2011, 10:08 AM) I have only been hit by the 3 joule electric fence. I would probably have a whole different view with a 10 joule electric fence. In high school electronics class, senior year. I'm working on a television, specifically around the transformer and power supply. The class clown comes ***skipping*** through the lab and kicks my arm. I 'luckily' connect my arm on both sides of the initial bridge rectifier in the TV. Want to guess what was coming through there? 440 VAC @ 60Hz. Took that hit from elbow to wrist. That hurt... a lot. Pissed me off too. I got up and went after him. The clown skipped away and kicked a chair out from under a guy in the back of the lab, making him hit his knees on the workbench as he fell (was using the chair as a ladder to reach something on a top shelf). The guy lands on his feet after smacking his knees on the bench. Then turns around, grabs the clown, and slams him face first into the bench a couple of times. I was happy again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The instructor saw the whole incident occur, including the face smashing. He saw the problem had been addressed then shrugged and turned back around to the chalk board. The clown didn't screw around in the lab anymore. |

Hey, I wasn't sure I would be able to get "Money" Johnson out of my head and onto a story, and look where I'm at now.

The company's being audited today, so writing this poem, titled '600 Seconds', is probably not the best way to spend my time.
To the door the bomb was sticking, quickly was the timer ticking, The runners bolted away from the lonely reinforced steel door, Hacker scrambled, quickly thinking, corporate response times were sinking, Quelching alarms regarding the exploding reinforced steel door, A gaping hole was all that remained of the reinforced steel door, Quoth the Raven, "Bangalore." |
