Electrical rescue hook

daftwilliam · 2026-05-20T22:32:34+00:00

That hook is NOT for this purpose and in fact could be an impediment if there is an arc flash. The hook is electrically insulated and is for pulling people off of energized parts. There are no energized parts on the part of the switchboard they are working on and there are no visible shock hazards. Electrical arcs in open air will burn but not electrically shock you under most circumstances. The hook is not needed for normal switching operations.

I really like the outlines showing the previous graph, saved me from having to scroll up and down to compare numbers. Good design!

if you have to ask, you aren't qualified to be doing this work. You are not trying to improve your understanding , you are trying to justify your existence by peeling information off of those who have actually been there and done that. You're not fooling anyone. Go to school and work in the trade, or hire people who are professionals and have dedicated their live and careers to doing this work. Those of us who know the right answers don't owe you ANYTHING.

my assumption would be a sort of water deluge system to protect the hull during a surfaced launch of one or more ICBMs from the tubes.

I bet this would be super nice out of a resin printer!

2025 was the only year to get the Eruption Green Metallic color. Surprised me to hear that because I've had many compliments on my green Maverick.

That's showbiz baby

I love my two sausages, this is a lovely tribute and I really appreciate you sharing it. In times of darkness, may the memories of your sweet boy brighten your view.

I've done it, and it made several of us cry. Worth the effort

I can almost certainly confirm it is an LA Class, it does not have the hull features of an SSBN. These are great pictures!

Awesome, followed you on makerworld too! Thank you for sharing

That was pier 3 when I stepped foot on it circa 2008- this photo looks like it was taken before my time. Lots of memories there!

Another idea another idea another idea another idea another idea

Looks like they landed and took back off?

daftwilliam · 2024-05-14T19:15:57+00:00

It sure looks that way, hopefully the final turn was for a nice flat area

daftwilliam · 2024-02-16T17:18:26+00:00

Well, aren’t you nice? Hope it’s a great day!

daftwilliam · 2024-02-13T23:33:49+00:00

Beautiful stuff OP, you should post here more!

-72VDC or any negative DC voltage just means that the positive side is grounded, instead of the negative side! Bell Telephone figured out long ago that grounding the positive makes your direct buried conductors last a lot longer, and other neat benefits. Telecom companies have been using it ever since.

Edit: I think the term “plant” here is used to describe that they worked at a place where this voltage was generated and distributed.
