Indoor explosions are always fun. Here's a portable impulse generator kicking 1800VDC into a small test sample at about 50,000 Amps. Sounds like a rifle going off.2yr ⋅ ChrisBoden ⋅ r/Skookum
Bit of a cleaning job at work this week. A small oil leak and a decade of time packed the stator with a ton of thick black schmoo. I get the delicate job of cleaning it all out safely. The fun part is that hole is 15 feet deep.2yr ⋅ ChrisBoden ⋅ r/Skookum
This is the flash from a 144,000,000 Watt electric arc that lasted for only a few thousandths of a second. They're standing almost 40 feet away. The arc was only six-inches long.2yr ⋅ ChrisBoden ⋅ r/interestingasfuck
Fun day at work. The center shaft is spinning at 200RPM with 810HP motivating it. This is underneath a massive generator and above the turbine housing. Nice quiet spot for a picnic.3yr ⋅ ChrisBoden ⋅ r/Skookum
