Can we take a moment and appreciate the fact that Photonic could have asked his subscriber base for financial help... instead he went silent and worked his rear off for years to get the money he needed. What an absolute MAN. 👏 So proud of my boy for working hard for what he wanted Vs taking the easy way out.

As an electronics engineer / electrician myself, I doff my cap in your general direction Mr Photonicinduction for workmanship that, IMHO, is straight out of the top drawer. That wiring is beautifully done and a credit to your skills and the profession of electrical engineering. You should make a second channel teaching your art to the world.

@@Okurka. 😁your right but it should be: No power < much power

[@Crimsonedge1]

Tip for those that don't know: Wind up extension cords like that have a power rating based on how unwound they are. Usually they're good for 750w fully wound and 3000w fully unwound. Be careful when drawing too much power through one that is fully wound as they can get hot real quick.

[@peterzingler6221]

Shouldn't the rolled up Cort work as a ballast and prevent overload so even when the whole drum is burning the fuse wouldn't kick in :D

[@efa666]

Was literally just going to ask this, thanks. Would it be fine as long as there is no load on the output?

[@littlejackalo5326]

I've heard that, but I've never seen it be an accrual practical/physical problem. Between all my crews, all my trailers, and all my job sites, I've got well over 100 extension cords. I've used thousands of extension cords and I've never picked up a coil of cord and felt it be even noticeably warm. Maybe if you've got a really long cord, and it's in a job box, where there is zero air movement, and you're pulling a 1500W sustained load, it might be a problem. Other than that, I've never seen any issue or heard of it happening on the hundreds and hundreds of jobs I've been on, with hundreds of subs, and thousands of workers.

[@garrysekelli6776]

Probably provide more Radio frequency radiation when unwound too. Resonating at the same frequency as the length of the cable perhaps.

[@bjharvey3021]

Very true. I melted an extention once while mowing the lawn when I was a kid. Melted together in a coil. Not even on purpose.

People usually get hyped up and more animated when they talk about something they're really interested in.

Very interesting, indeed! Glad you're back! And most importantly, BE SAFE! Cheers!
