The AI-generated cat pictures thread
Obviously, that would have been the best thing to do, but it was the guys very first time on a kite. There is an uncanny thing that happens with people on their first flights (as any instructor level pilot would know) where their initial survival instinct reactions prevail over all logic/reason/judgement/instruction. I imagine in the passenger's mind he fully believed he was part of that kite and just expected to be going with it. As the kite began to leave him, he couldn't do the obvious thing in those first few critical moments, his instinct was to was hold on for dear life, with things only getting worse from there. Again, if your job is taking first timer tourists up in a kite, this is all predictable.

I installed this (used) transformer about 5 years ago to run a small lathe in the shop for the boys.
Today they tried to burn the building down by plugging the plastic welder into it. "Because 240v is 240v" they explained to me. 1.5kva... Management didn't seem to find it as funny as i did.
My fault for sticking a 15a plug on it.

I picked up another one of these for a "trunk tool bag". Hard to pass up at $3.23 ($3 + .23 tax here) picked up from your local ACE. You need an ACE Rewards membership - which is free (can join on checkout) and accumulates rewards $ with every purchase.

i decided anyone who uses the word "pree" should get their laptop stolen as well, but by someone who will find incriminating files and use them for blackmail.

I'm no electronerd. But yeah, something like that. There are FAR more people even in this very thread that are way more qualified for these things than i am.
I just use 1000w as 1kva. With a PF of 1, (since it is an induction load, and i just want to play it safe).
A slightly bigger transformer, yet not nearly the biggest one we have. I posted a picture of our biggest transformer, but i can't seem to find it.
