Morning Tony,

also bypass these.!! Does the house wiring have an earthleakage unit. If the
wiring of the CS unit is set up correctly then the EL unit could save a 
life as

a final resort.


  Possibly the unit, earthleakage unit  is what we call a GFI, GFCI,  or 
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter in the USA.


  In most newer residences, these are required by the NFPA codes that 
apply.  These are installed by the kitchen sink, for outside power outlets, 
and in workshops where hand tools will be used.


 Some workers even use portable units strapped to their belts.

 One of the most critical applications I have installed relative to this 
is underwater swimming pool lights.


 In this one instance, the old light fixtures were to be reused.  I took 
all these into my shop, submerged them, allowed them to heat up and cool 
off for several cycles to see if anything strange was happening.


 There is a court case of record whereas some drunks climbed over a fence, 
enjoyed a short swim, and were electrocuted. ( at least one of them ).


 So with this in mind, even though I installed new wiring and new GFCI 
breakers, I made a simple variable test unit to test each wiring run and 
each breaker.


 I felt that if such a court case ever came up, I would be comfortable 
with the methods I used.


 Generally, I burn all bridges behind me when safety is an issue.

  These devices interrupt voltage very quickly when about  4 ma current 
flows from the hot side to ground.   Supposedly in a short time 
interval before the heart can be effected.


  Every needs to be aware that these units offer no protection if the body 
allows current flow from the hot wire to the neutral.  ... They offer 
protection only from the hot wire to earth ground.

Evening Namaste,

Reid, I didn't realize you were in UK until I read your last email.

 With your knowledge of the power system, you likely know about the 
phone systems in other countries.


Is there any standardization of phone line voltages around the world?

Evening Reid,


  Was your goal to use 110 VDC?   If not... settle for 52 VDC and use
the phone line power.  The 52 volt phone gen is ideal cheap, safe, and
easy
to use.

Many systems may be better, but not cheaper or more convenient .. or
safer.


Wayne, What is this 52 volt phone gen? I would really like to know more
about this.--Thanks.
Jesse

Re: CSSimple CS brewing -- CAUTION

One of the stations in a electronics lab that I once worked at was the HI-POT
area for testing capacitors. Lethal voltages were involved.

A large plexiglas box with a hinged lid and leads inside was the test area.
The box lid had a safety switch that cut power to the leads inside, when the lid
was opened.

Foolproof, but not damnfoolproof. The manager showing me around, opened the lid,
reached in, and grabbed the now charged capacitor. He became quite agitated!

The container and interlock switch was what I was suggesting.

in the circuit, just on the business side of the outlet.  The British
system plugs and outlets (for 220v) that we use have switches at the
wall, but we'll use an additional switch prior to the light.  This light
is needed because one cannot really see a live wire in action. All of
these measures need doing prior to making the first batch of CS, and
without them I could well have been the first victim.

Evening Reid,

Terry Chamberlain's approach, especially with the close proximity and

curiosity of my two sons, five and nine.  They do not need to be
electrocuted.


 Was your goal to use 110 VDC?   If not... settle for 52 VDC and use 
the phone line power.


I have never heard of anyone getting electrocuted by this voltage.  Likely 
I came the closest but that was with the help

of lightning.

Depending on how much you want to make and what your goals are, I don't see 
how anyone can do much better
that using the FREE voltage that sits everywhere waiting to be harnessed to 
this application.


The time factor is much better than any 6, 12, 18, 24, or 27 volt 
device.   Unless one is using a current limiter or some device with control 
ability,  The 52 volt phone gen is ideal cheap, safe, and easy to use.


Many systems may be better, but not cheaper or more convenient .. or safer.

Wayne

 Mike,
 Your cautions on the making of CS that is HVDC woke me up in the middle
 of the night, and I started mentally designing the finishing touches for
 Terry Chamberlain's approach, especially with the close proximity and
 curiosity of my two sons, five and nine.  They do not need to be
 electrocuted.  

Reid,
Prevention is preferred to resuscitation. 
Please assume that the warnings will not be understood just prior to the zap.
Firmly and mechanically enclosing the electrodes, and any other voltage
presenting parts is fairly foolproof. I envisioned an enclosure for the
electrodes, made of clear plastic tube, hose, or a plastic bottle, with holes in
it to allow current and/or water flow but not finger probing.  Electrical
interlock cutout switches could also be used, but fiddlefinger ingenuity could
also bypass these.!! Does the house wiring have an earthleakage unit. If the
wiring of the CS unit is set up correctly then the EL unit could save a life as
a final resort.

Re: CSSimple CS brewing -- CAUTION

Greetings folks,

We can NEVER afford to ignore the diverse experience levels we have 
on the list when giving advice. Note the following exchange:

Terry writes:
 ... Hang two silver wires down into the jar, on opposite sides of the
 jar (mine are 9 long). Hook up 110-120 VDC to the silver wires. Let
 brew for 60 minutes. Wipe off the wires, strain the CS (I use coffee
 filters). Use one quart of this CS as starter for the next batch.

Leo replies:
 What do you mean by hooking up 110-120 VDC?

Leo is asking the questions that he should be!

110 Volts Direct Current is *plenty* high enough to be lethal depending 
on the type of power supply used and the myriad conditions that people 
might be working under. 

DON'T MESS WITH HIGH VOLTAGE unless you have the knowledge and
experience to do so safely.

In the above instructions, it is vital that you TURN OFF THE POWER 
before wiping off the wires. 

Don't let the wires touch each other while power is on. 

Don't touch the wires or any part of the apparatus while power is on.

Make certain the power supply is properly grounded and fused.

Keep children and pets away.

... etcetera!!!

Yes, the method is simple, and simple methods do work. However, if 
there's a chance that something can go wrong, it's wise to assume that 
it will and include appropriate cautions and disclaimers.

Simple battery circuits with up to 30 or 40 volts and low current 
capacity are a whole lot safer to deal with if you're a newcomer to 
working with electricity. The good news is, they also work.

Be careful out there, my friends.

Be well,

Mike Devour
