If you reverse the polarity of lots of things, you get a fire starter.
…and likewise, many things stop working during a fire, making them rudimentary fire-detectors.
AC goes brrrrrr
I’m no electrician, but attaching the hot and neutral wires of an end appliance to the opposite wires of the power supply shouldn’t be a problem on a lot of bare bone, electromechanical hardware that don’t have logic units. Please correct and enlighten me, if you’re more knowledgeable! :D
swapping hot and neutral typically isn’t a problem - its alternating current anyway. However, most DC Appliances are sensitive to reverse polarity. Ever tried connecting a electrolytic capacitor the wrong way around? On the other hand many customer appliances have some kind of protection against reverse polarity.
Thanks! You just nudged me down a fascinating rabbit hole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eflB18WmbjM
that’s great to hear!
Something as simple as an incandescent light bulb works either way. LED lights are picky about electricity.
Individual LEDs, yes; the rectifiers in most LED “bulbs” shouldn’t care.
Twisted…
Hey hey hey!
I’m the fear addicted
Home smoke detector, yes. Fire alarm, no.
What if i want a Grass-Starter, or even a Water-starter? The first gym is tough with the Fire-starter.
No Iceing conditions without warning.?
If you lick the wires first.
