Shocking Experience
 

After 61 years of playing with, and working with AC electricity I finely
got mine. On top of a 12 "Aluminum" ladder in the rain I stuck the end of an
un-insinuated wire into a hot 220vAC wire and got the crap stocked out of me
and had to throw myself into space to get away from it.

I hit three flowerpots, and a tree on the way down then landed on a
cement border around the tree.



I'm OK, sore cut up a little but alive. The juice went in my left hand and
out my left knee so it didn't cross my heart or other organs (or pianos) on
the way out. Left hand hurts and left knee is swollen and very sore.

I could feel each cycle of the AC as it went threw me and I could not
open my hand. A smaller or person who was not in as good a shape as I am
would have fried their heart. 5 minutes after the stock/fall my BP was
132/62 with a pulse of 65, that's high for me but I'll take it.

I have had many friends do the same thing and die. Over 33 years as a
telephone man I lose a lot of friends to doing the wrong thing at the wrong
time and today it was me BUT, I'm OK.

Glad you're OK.

I had one experience like that when I was maybe 16 or 17 and I decided to mess
around inside a Hammarlund receiver, quite the shock.

Only other thing like that I saw was another guy in the Navy getting into about
5 KV, sent him across the work space, but he was OK.

My most fun shock was when I was about 22. Was working on a microwave oven,
and got across that .5uf 4KV cap. Definately a more stout jolt than from a
TV CRT... I always thought, up to that time, that getting launched backward
across a room by a jolt like that was something that only happened in
cartoons.. well.. after I picked myself up from a large pile of stainless
steel cookware on the other side of the kitchen, I thought much differently.
Definately got my attention (and got my heartrate up to about 200 for a
couple minutes..)

Like ya say, you think it only happens in a cartoon, but when it happens to you,
it becomes a very, very fast cartoon!

Another story I related to Cuzz Burr this morning had to do with a fellow who
removed what he thought was a defective pressure gauge from a fuel tank access
cover that was in our workspace. The tank itself was directly below us.

The gauge was indeed defective, tank still pressurized, and at the time all our
fire control gear, radar stuff, computers, were fired up.

A few hairy and scary moments there.

I still remember the very shocked look on my fellow sailors face as he tried to
plug the flow of fuel that was spraying out all over the place.

You went almost as high as the Space Shuttle, didn't you?

One time I was replacing one of the wall outlets (120 volts) in my
living room.I didn't turn off the electric power to my living room
because I didn't think I would get shocked.

Never grab two hot wires at the same time while holding pliers in each
hand.You can't let go of them.My body tripped the circuit.I am glad it
wasen't 240 volts I was messing with.

That was about fifteen years ago when I replaced that wall outlet in my
living room, because the old wall outlet, whatever I plugged in wouldn't
stay plugged in.I had probally had a few beers too.Otherwise, I probally
would have cut the juice to all of the four outlets in my living
room.Two of the wall outlets are on one circuit, the other two are on a
different circuit.

I weigh about 185 pounds now.On February 19th this year, I weighed 210

because I wrote it down on the inside of one of my bathroom cabinet

with my diet.I am staying on my diet untill I get skinny, skinny,

un-insinuated wire into a hot 220vAC wire and got the crap stocked out of me
and had to throw myself into space to get away from it.

I hit three flowerpots, and a tree on the way down then landed on a
cement border around the tree.



I'm OK, sore cut up a little but alive. The juice went in my left hand and
out my left knee so it didn't cross my heart or other organs (or pianos) on
the way out. Left hand hurts and left knee is swollen and very sore.

I could feel each cycle of the AC as it went threw me and I could not
open my hand. A smaller or person who was not in as good a shape as I am
would have fried their heart. 5 minutes after the stock/fall my BP was
132/62 with a pulse of 65, that's high for me but I'll take it.

I have had many friends do the same thing and die. Over 33 years as a
telephone man I lose a lot of friends to doing the wrong thing at the wrong
time and today it was me BUT, I'm OK.



So Mote It Be





You were lucky, I knew a guy who died from grabbing the wrong wire.

I have three I remember, the first was when I touched the chassis of my
record player I had when I was 4 or so with one hand, while holding onto
a drill (I was using power tools at a very young age since my dad was
useless when dealing with that stuff) and got zapped really good. I felt
bad for a while, and had a slight burn on my hand where the juice passed
into and out of the drill.

The second, and worst one was in my CB days and I had my linear opened
up and was grabbing my D-104 with my left hand, while using a
screwdriver to make adjustments on the linear when it was keyed up. I
had my index finger touching the shaft, and the next thing I know, I was
flying through the closet door, about 10 feet away. A friend of mine was
talking to me when it happened, and he heard a "ZZZZZZZZZZZT!", and I
was gone for a while. Luckily, I just had the mike loosely plugged in,
so it just popped out when I flew. I think the closet door hurt me worse
than the shock.

The third time was about 20 years ago, I was working on a friend's old
Hallicrafters SW receiver, replacing a lot of rotten caps. I knew
better, but I put my hand on the front panel to turn the radio, and
touched the HV side, and really got zapped good. My hand got cooked a
little, and I actually felt bad enough to go to the ER. By the time they
got me in, I was feeling fine, so it was a waste of a couple hundred
bucks it cost me for the visit.

I wish I had your BP.

I spent 30 years working on tube amplifiers, up to about 35,000 Vdc on
some of them. I have never had an electric shock because when I work
with electricity I concentrate. Same level of concentration as driving
or shooting guns. Zero defects, zero tolerance.

Shocking Experience
 

Many years ago, I read somewhere that smart electricians (the ones who
want to live to be a ripe old age) always put one hand behind their back
when they are working on high voltage things.That is suppose to be so
they won't fry/zap both of the main arteries going to their heart.
When I was a kid, we used to dare other kids to stick their fingers into
a light bulb socket.That was the first time I got zapped, about sixty
something years ago.

Merits of Islam in the Relationship Between Men &Women
I am happy to be a member of this group and I consider you my friends.
As a friend , I like to share with you some thoughts that I believe
will be useful for your life.

Merits of Islam in the Relationship Between Men &Women

1- Islam encourages marriage to prevent committing adultery, and
considers marriage to be one of the ways of the Messengers;The
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “O
young people, whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do
so, for it helps one to lower the gaze and protect the private parts
(i.e., remain chaste). Whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for it
is a protection for him.” 2- If a man wants to get married but is
unable to spend on a wife, then he should adhere to the words of Allah.
24:33 “And let those who find not the financial means for marriage
keep themselves chaste, until Allâh enriches them of His Bounty”
3- Islam urges people to get married, and prohibits celibacy and
castration. It is forbidden to forego getting married even if the
intention is to devote oneself to worship. “There is no monasticism in
Islam.” because they are against his nature, and against having
children.

4- Islam forbids adultery for the sake of reserving lineages, and to
prevent unlawful pregnancies and social problems.17: 32. And come not
near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fâhishah
[i.e. anything that transgresses its limits (a great sin)], and an
evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allâh forgives him).

5- Islam forbids accusing others of adultery and considers it a great
sin. 24: 15. When you were propagating it with your tongues, and
uttering with your mouths that whereof you had no knowledge, you
counted it a little thing, while with Allâh it was very great.

6- Islam prohibits a man to be alone with a woman who is not a
relative he can’t marry, because that causes temptation to do immoral
and evil actions. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) said: “No man is alone with a (non-mahram) woman but the Satan is
the third one present.”

7- Islam forbids unlawful sexual relationships and marrying a woman
not chaste.5: 5. Made lawful to you this day are AtTayyibât [all kinds
of Halâl (lawful) foods, which Allâh has made lawful (meat of
slaughtered eatable animals, etc., milk products, fats, vegetables and
fruits, etc.). The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals, etc.) of
the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and
yours is lawful to them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women
from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the
Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time.
