04:11:06 Devastator: Sorry about spambirb, but if you want more stats you gotta figure out the trick to getting them.
04:11:19 Devastator: I am rolling to see if you get hints every time you fail.

04:57:35 Devastator: have an inexplicable failure at work.
04:57:51 Devastator: got to set something on fire without consequence.
04:59:15 Devastator: Our steam tunnel, which basically finishes drying coveralls and irons dress shirts and what not, isn't igniting.
04:59:35 Devastator: we had replacement parts for the heat rod and the electrical igniter.
04:59:46 Devastator: No spark, but it seems to be getting power properly.
05:00:05 Devastator: I had to troubleshoot the ignition transformer, which steps up 120V to 60000V.
05:00:44 Devastator: Now you can't do that with a normal meter, so I had to rig up a few resistors.
05:01:01 Devastator: set one on fire, but it was all safe, really.;
05:01:12 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:01:14 Devastator: anyway, that seems to be working properly too, so I'm really confused.
05:01:24 Devastator: it'll be either gas or air.
05:01:34 Devastator: but we should be able to see the spark.
05:03:17 syv: 120 to 60k would be something
05:03:25 syv: Well, 120 to 6k is something
05:03:57 syv: ...You set a resistor on fire?
05:04:03 syv: Is that supposed to happen to resistors?
05:04:30 Devastator: No, not really, but it was fine.
05:05:02 Devastator: I had it all set up so that wouldn't be a problem if it did.
05:05:40 Devastator: Knew it could happen.
05:06:32 Devastator: basically it was dropping about 150W across the resistor and those were only rated for 100W.
05:06:43 Devastator: so I thought it might happen.
05:09:47 Devastator: It was amusing, though, one of those situations where having me was a real advantage, because I don't think the others had any idea how to test that safely.
05:10:05 Devastator: or they mighta panicked with the fire and not set it up safely.
05:11:37 Devastator: Same with the phone support I was calling, actually. He was skeptical that it could be done, but it's simple enough if you have a bunch of extra resistors.
05:13:06 syv:
Dev, I guess you tested it at the low 120V setting, and after knowing how much wattage was lost could test the 6k setting?
05:13:26 syv: That's how that works, right? I don't fully understand magnet magic.
05:14:48 Devastator: It's a transformer.
05:14:59 Devastator: one side you put in 120VAC, the other side puts out 6000 VAC.
05:15:48 Devastator: What I did was step down the voltage, so I was putting in 0.1 V and getting out about 5 V.

05:50:47 syv: Well now, that is quite annoying.
05:52:29 Devastator: not like you're at an airport or anything.
05:54:40 syv: As a cost saving measure the airport has us on a rented property *next* to the airport
05:55:03 syv: And our wifi is bought by us
05:56:46 Devastator: I'm aware, I'm just expressing multiple degrees of sarcasm in one sentence.
