Nailguns- am I dumb for resisting?

[peg_688]

 Humm maybe we can't even take a poke at Glenn anymore  

[glenn-k]

I'm losing control, PEG -- actually I got behind on reading my posts and can't keep up with you giving me a bad time.

I'm not used to reading those Licker Establishment signs.  Or would those be Liquor? :-?

[Sassy]

Glenn, Sweetie, you're going to have to get up a lot earlier to keep up with PEG!  

[glenn-k]

Oh --- I get it now PEG -- the censorship function of the YABB bulletin board has made that sound even worse than it was meant to be.

(Poke'r) is a censored word so the program automatically puts an X in place of it.  For a minute there I thought you were talking about a .....    nevermind.

[glenn kangiser]

I'm going to add sweetie to the censored word list.  Cut that out.

[glenn kangiser]

We had to censor Poke'r - Back'gammon and other words due to spammers. :-/

[MountainDon]

No way I'm gonna edit that now!   One little mistake and you guys had nearly three hours of fun.  

But that's precisely why I said I (C)lick on modify frequently.

You don't need a license to lick; ya'll need to be certified.

Certified nuts.

[PEG688]

Certified nuts.

 

Yup  

[glenn kangiser]

That leaves me out --- I'm only a certified welder.  

...but speaking of licking -- PEG, do Navy guys commonly lick 9 volt batteries? :-?

Interesting. I guess we should be careful how we conduct ourselves our our solar system batteries when bleeding.

Nice pun there Don.

[MountainDon]

I thought so too    
I couldn't help myself. I had no resistance.   :-/

 That sounds like BS to me , Hell I used a simpson meter and didi the ohm out thing many times , I never did stick myself intentionally  but and this is a funny storey , and no it wasn't "at sea" but here at NAS Whidbey .

We had a jet that had a gripe  , Oil pressure IIRC, anyway the way the power / path to the part was it ran thru a wire harness that was clamped to the motor , this harness was large , ran to many parts / systems and was factory braided / a coax type deal . We at the sqr. level could not , or wheer not suppose to repair any part of said harness , it had to be removed from the A/C . Down side was to remove it you had to drop the motor a J52 -408 Pratt & whitney , a big , sort of job and of course that put the A/C in  "down status"  something the Chiefs and Maint. officiers didn't want to happen as "Up jets " look good and your mission capabilty status looks good , so when I told them "we gotta drop the motor " they freaked out  , as we had another jet down hard at the time . So we fight over it yanno Petty officer to Chief and the LDO (limited duty officier ) AKA Loud Dumb Obnoxious    

  So I'm sayin yes sir  ,

   yup Chief sorry etc  , anyway we drop the  motor ,  change the harness and the Chief (accually a Senior Chief E-8) , and the LDO who was a Avaition electrican before he went LDO have the harness in the office ,

  I get called in    and they tell me

    " this harness isn't "open" (a break in contunituty S/P  )  ""   see ""

    the Senior sez as he holds the meter pins and the wires between his fingers ,

   he the senior was a Avaition electronic tec  the LDO was AE  like me Aviation electrican , so they both   have  a wire / elec. back ground , I said

 " Are you guys kidding me ??    :-/ :-/  

   "[highlight] No they say it's not open !! [/highlight]



  I started to LMAO and they get sort of pissed , I say " Senior take yer fat fingers OFF THE PROBES and try again !!!! " , Well yanno they said

  "  Get yer arse outta here !!!

My leaders , Eh

A true "Sea storey" No $hit

[PEG688]

Yup Drift Master's fer sure  

So about nail guns ,  

[MountainDon]

It does seem to me that I read somewhere that with increased use of electric accessories in cars (electric power steering on a hyrid for instance) that manufacturers might need to raise the voltage auto. The article mentioned that 48 volts was the likely maximum that would be used, because anything much over 50 V became dangerous to the human body. A medical doctor friend confirmed this. I didn't bring it up before as I was having too fun with my puns.    

Wikipedia has this chart at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_shock   It would seem it's a voltage/current combination. I do also believe there is more danger when the current passes from one arm to the other... heart's in the way.

I also recall making a circle with several classmates in high school physics class, teacher included, One person would grasp one terminal on an old telephone hand crank dynamo. The person at the other end of the circle gasped the other terminal. The person who let go got the worst zap when the crank was turned. Still alive today, although slightly odd.

[MountainDon]

So about nail guns ,  

So an electric nailgun could be twice as dangerous.

I know that 50 joules is what we initially use to shock a patient out of atrial fibrillation; someone in ventricular tachycardia (0nly ventricles beating super fast, no atrial action) we start at 200 joules & go up to 360 - don't know how that compares to volts...  :-/

[glenn kangiser]

If someone starts coming after me with a defibrillator, I think I'd only be worried about 2 joules. :-?

Ugh !! I knew you wouldn't be able to resist that one  

[MountainDon]

Joule is a measurement of work. One joule is equal to one watt-second of power.... like in kilowatt-hour. It's a pretty small measure.

I'm not gonna touch those jewels Glenn.

[Sassy]

BTW, I was having a lot of neck & shoulder pain a few years ago.  Glenn cranked up his tractor magneto & tried to attach it to my shoulder to "make it better" (back in the 20's & 30's they used to use electroshock to the muscles - we have a little antique machine like that & physical therapists use it today)

I wouldn't go for it until he did it to himself a few times - he'd say, "that didn't hurt" - so I finally got enough nerve to let him try it on me... well, I have to tell you, it packed quite a punch!    Didn't let him do that again... :-/  

[MountainDon]

Sassy, that would have been much like the old crank-em-up telephone dynamo.  

[PEG688]

I think thats what they where tryin on my Grandma Ciocco when she was in the nut house back in 37, for shootin Grandpa 6 times in the back with his service revolver, he was a Philli cop. :'(

Anyway she died 6 months after the shooting , the court said she was nuts in less than 10 days , so off to the state nut house for the crimally insane for Granny Like I said 6 month later she was dead of a heart issue  :'(  My Mom kept that secert till after she was dead , my Mom that is , so for like 40 / 45 years maybe more or less , we just didn't talk about her Mom and Dad, shocking eh!! ??

I let the guys who work for me know that just to keep um thinkin   The nuts don't fall far from the tree , they say :-?

[glenn kangiser]

I wonder what would have happened if I'd a  got 'er firing an all four cylinders.  :-?

We used to use the old hand crank telephone dynamo's to get night crawlers to come up out of the ground for fishing.  I suppose that's not environmentally correct anymore.

[glenn kangiser]

Interesting story PEG -- now we'll never know -- she may have been totally sane and justified.  

..but we'll always have to wonder about you.  :-/
