He's just glad none of us are his neighbors. But I doubt anybody else's noisy neighbor would appreciate all these tips, either. Frank Dresser |
I had a neighbor in an adjacent apartment whose stereo turned out to be
amazingly sensitive to a 5 Watt UHF radio. Total separation between radio and their setup was about 20 feet. You may need more power or a close antenna. "JMBCV" wrote in message et...

Put some speakers outside and play what annoying stuff you have. "TV Set" by the Cramps, on an endless loop, would be a good choice. Ah well... most of his music seems to come from CD, so that's no good. Think I'll have to try to fight fire with fire then. Either that or build an EMP device :) Thanks all |
Agreed. Trying something like this could indeed cause a fire. Fires have
been caused by open neutrals. If you do this, and a fire results, there *will* be a criminal investigation and you could end up in prison for arson/attempted murder. If someone gets hurt or killed, including firemen, the investigation will likely be "aggressive." Add to this civil liabilities, plus the large chance redundant paths will render your "modification" moot, and this seems like a really poor choice. "RHF" wrote in message m... "Brenda Ann" wrote in message ... "Eddie Haskel" wrote in message . .. Really simple solution....go to the power pole, get out a set of garden shears and cut ONLY the neutral wire to the house, sit back and watch the fireworks display as things that should get 120 volts get about 20 and things that should get 120 get about 200. The refridgerator motor will stall and the stereo should erupt in a ball of fire :) You see...household wiring is 2 phase..thats two legs of 120 and a common neutral return. When you cut it the loads unballance, putting some things like heavy items (fridge) and light items (stereo) in series across 240 volts.....SPECTACTULAR! One minor problem...CAN result in multiple fires...use with caution....Eddie If the home is up to code, cutting the neutral wire at the pole won't do much.. since the neutral and ground are common at the service entrance.. as long as they have a ground, the split phase will stay split, although the voltage may go down on either end due to losses.. Hello People, Lets Get Real: Do not mess with some one else's Home [.] CAUTION: If the "CODE" Requires that a fully functioning Neutral Wire be properly 'installed' for Safety: Then disconnecting it 'violates' the required Code and renders the household electrical wiring system Un-Safe. WARNING: If you are not a 'qualified' Electrician "Do Not Mess" with your Main Circuit Breaker Box and your Service Entry. Get a Licensed Electricial to do the work for you. jm2cw ~ RHF . . |

I wonder if you can still get Model T Ford spark coils...I wiped out
