Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Hmm

From: Robert Hedan <robert.hedan@...>

I took a vocational program through highschool. One thing I will always
remember in auto mechanics is ALWAYS disconnect the positive terminal at the
battery (usually red, from all the blood splattering on it I guess).

I had the chance to see another student showing off his savoir faire at
revving an engine. He got too close to the alternator connections with his
wrist watch. The arc melted a passage through the center of his
fancy-schancy watch. The jolt made him bash his perfect hair on the open
hood of the car and left a really pleasant pattern on his wrist.

He stopped showing off, wearing fancy jewelry and clothes to shop classes
after that. We all had a good laugh at his expense. Better him than us we
figured, couldn't have haven't to a more pleasant guy.

(...I conveniently do not mention how I caught fire in the welding classes
though...)

Probably the aluminum burned so fast there wasn't much time for current.
That thing with the watch sounds bad, will remember.
