Holy cow, I didn't know he had a series before Mr wizards world, I may have some binge watching to do, was he an asshole to the kids the first time around too?

Today people would accuse him of being a perv for having kids come over to his house. Is it true Professor Proton is based on Mr. Wizard? Played by another of my favorites, Bob Newhart.

I remember before everybody became retarded sissies there was Mr wizards world, hooked a two fork to an extension cord to cook a hot dog.... Too many helmets now for that On Jan 22, 2016 7:22 PM, "Ken Hohhof" <[email protected]> wrote: Did you get patent royalties from Presto for their Hot DoggerTM?

The best part is when the hot dog is really hot, you can turn the lights off and it has flashes of light coming out of it.

I built a hot dog cooker when I was in the 4th grade that did the same thing. Worked great.

If you want to see something REALLY scary, even scarier than the 220VAC hot-water-showerheads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EViyccc2t9w it's not even a resistive coil heater, it simply applies AC electricity directly to the water.

The shower heads are 220v heat on demand and all seem to have two temperatures, ice cold or scald the hell out of you. Always made me nervous seeing two wires running into the wall from the same device where my water was coming out. I said a little prayer every time I got in the shower just in case I was found dead and naked with what was left of my hair on fire.

Im "that guy" who works on things live quite often because "it will just take a minute". I could knock in my chimney instead of fixing the flashing to stop the leak if I switched to an electric water heater for about the same cost as the flashing work (when I flash, I flash things for life... and because the movie sucked, but thats a different topic). I just foresee our city water having dissolve the liner and me down there at three in the morning half drunk (well sh%^face) with my metal leatheman and no shoes dicking around with it in my boxers and then next thing you know, Imin the ER with some broad trying to shove a tube up my crank.

One of the great things about having 230V 15A circuits in a house, you can install a front loading washing machine that electrically heats its own water as it fills, on demand. Only requires a cold water connection, drain, and electricity. No hot water hookup at all. On Thu, Jan 21, 2016 at 2:55 PM, Chuck McCown <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks, I learned a few things.

Never understood why they need to be so large, why they have a switch. Seems like unnecessary cost etc. Fused plug is just one more thing to fail and cost you. I do like 220 everywhere. I wonder if it is referenced to earth ground? Seems like it would be safer to float it. And with 220 your wires can be so much smaller.

If we really wanted everything to be safe we would use shuttered BS1363 (UK code) receptacles with fused plugs, even for 120VAC 15A circuits. Most people in the US have never worked with them, but they're very mechanically robust and safe. https://www.google.ca/search?q=BS1363&num=100&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjSxv2F_bvKAhULzGMKHVtQCg8Q_AUIBygB&biw=1473&bih=1004 On Thu, Jan 21, 2016 at 1:39 PM, That One Guy /sarcasm <[email protected]> wrote: We added an addition to the quarters at the ambulance I worked for, I came in just as the electircian was finishing up and saw them all ground up.
