we hijacked a conference room on a shared floor for a week and built a three-phase high-voltage line in there by hunting around the building for which sockets were on which phase, then plugging them into industrial transformers.
Okay -
- 1, that’s awesome;
- 2, for what purpose?
- 3, is it normal for buildings to have 3-phase in split into different single-phase sections? That feels like you could get some iffy stuff from wildly different loads on the different phases.
we were recording the magnetic fields generated by a high-energy short circuit. we hung a mouse trap from one of the lines, with a lead going to one of the others, so that they fused together when it sprung.
it is normal here, yes. larger appliances get three phases, and single-phase outlets are split between them as evenly as possible.
I knowingly stalled a counterfeiter for ~20 minutes while we’re waiting for police to arrive.
I just well full inept dipshit worker on the guy and he believed my act.
Guy could have just walked out and been free but he stuck around over less than 200 dollars of fake money he was trying to wash through us.
