Weird stuff you did as a brat?

You are gumming up the group with your retarded horseshit, childish, non-contributory commentary.

and another troll

make me dumbshit

At 10 I took an old style alternator and a battery, and a bunk bed ladder, and some lawn mower wheels, and made an electric go cart. 1970

I also helped my brother, performing my first racing engine rebuild. It was (is still) a 427 big block.

insted of insalting peaple why dont you explain how to bottem post to everyone howe to.

oh thats right, trolls dont know howe to.

now you know howe i feel

They don't, and don't have to be. The heating element is insulated quite nicely from the core with layers of mica, so you can measure a high impedance 60VAC on the tip. If you're using it around half-live CMOS, I suppose a grounding clip wouldn't be a bad idea. ;-)

Good idea, my Old Boy said use your right hand and keep your left away near high voltage, protects your heart. I was converting a little 5" CRT to an oscilloscope, and used those wee Radio Shack jumpers to put the

It had to be the dampness (it was humid day) of the floor otherwise concrete is a good insulator, when it's dry.

Another contributor to the accident was that I had worked with the unit for a few days and being a cute minature CRT disregarded safety, 6KV isn't fun. Ken

Yes I did. But it wasn't fun. The wiring in this place is comprised of Romex, BX, and tube and post. The building is a 108 years old so that explains it.

I don't recall McCarthy having any arrested.

Concrete is not that good an HV insulator. One of its ingredients is water.

Concrete is never that dry, unless it is in the middle of a roaring fire, and crumbling from the heat. Without water, concrete has no strength.

Look, you little 11 year old retard. GET THE F*CK OUT of the group.

You want to know how I know that you are am 11 year old twit?

Your piss poor spelling, little boy.

Now LEAVE, dipshit.

DON'T come back until AFTER you get through high school and have learned HOW to spell, at the very least, a sixth grade capacity.

All capitalized words are the correct spelling for the crap you called a post.

Go away, little boy... you bother me.

Get the f*ck OFF mommy's computer.

No s*it, Dip Tracy. It was a rhetorical question. :-)

Of course the tip is isolated, and of course proper ESD protection procedures would be to ground it to the same node as one's bench grounding system utilizes for ESD protection.

Don't forget to include the 1 MegOhm series resistor, preferably carbon comp, in the lead (wire) you are taking to ground.Not doing that can kill 'em just as fast.

You guy are the noise component of the S/N figure. No surprise.

Sure as hell cost a shitload of them their careers though.

Can you say "ufer" grounding system.

Concrete... ALL types that I am aware of, are conductive both when poured and once cured.

I'll bet epoxy-crete would be expensive, but I'd bet a formulation could be made that has enough flexure as well as stiffness and good tensile strength, to be even better than concrete is. At hundreds of dollars per yard. :-(
