I think when that drum drive snapped, I'd be looking for a fire hose.

 I just looked it up. 8-1/2yards of concrete weighs about 28,500lbs. The only bonus I ever got was a bet I won with my boss. He told me that a 10 gage copper wire could only support about 50amps before melting open. I started laughing when he told me that and a little angrily he asked why I was laughing. I told him, "Because a 10 gage wire would carry a hell of a lot more than 50amps while it was melting." He asked me how much and I told him a couple of hundred at the least. So he bet his 'idiot high-school student' ten bucks. He dragged out a piece of wire, a 200Amp meter, and a huge truck battery. He hooked it all up and then closed the circuit. The wire lit up white hot, the 200A meter smashed over pegged(way more that 200A) and about 5 seconds later the wire melted open. He was not happy but paid me. I made sure I steered clear of that subject for the rest of my tenure there. |
