The weld job isn't the bad part. The weld itself is pretty decent actually.
It's the fact they made up the gap between the two short pipes welding rather than having butted ends that the weld holds together.
They essentially 3D printed a pipe with weld

That looks like a loose connection so the current is flowing through the threaded rod and not from direct contact by the terminal with the bus.

Electricity is nuts. Where I work the power went funky one day, turned out the bus bar for one of phases in the power company hookup outside had completely melted through, and another was on its last thread. No main breakers had ever tripped, but the building had been designed as a warehouse with some office space and had later supported a lot of manufacturing equipment.

Imagine being up on a ladder in damp, sweltering Kentucky heat having to reach all the way out to the side holding a hedge trimmer to trim the top off a hedge four feet deep and a hundred feet long. Now climb down the ladder, shift it forward a couple feet, climb back up, and repeat.

Maybe this could be a drone thing. Make a blade that can be carried by a drone or two and just let it spin. You could set them and just watch after that everything could be coded even coming back for more batteries.

Faggots probably didnt evacuate correctly, still had small amounts of refrigerant still in compressor, causing inefective brazing and refrigerant acid gas due to flame

Probably tax purposes or some type thing

Know one guy who wanted to build a small garage onto his property next door from the actual workshop, but it wasn't zoned for more than one commercial building or something, so code enforcement said that as long as they were connected during construction, even by just a long 2x6 at the roof, they'd let it slide as just an addition to the original shop using an easement on the other property and not a second building on the other lot or some bullshit.

It's wrapped around the driveshaft. I'm thinking a little slack in the line isn't going to help.

Worked at an electronic store in high school in a rural area. At least once a month someone would come in and hand me a cell phone and proceed to explain it doesn't work after it fell in the toilet, liquid shit container, porta-john, cesspool, pile of shit, ect.

Why the fuck did you hand me it? Just throw it in the garbage.

wire looks like its either 2 or 1/0 gauge stranded wire, breaking strength around 2000 lbs

zip ties look like heavy duty ties, breaking strength around 100 lbs

if the wire is super securely fastened at the ends (which i doubt) then the wire will spool around the drive shaft on the right until it runs out of slack and the zip ties snap. then either the insulation will melt straight off the wire from the exhaust on the left, or itll drag along on the ground until the insulation is worn off. either way youll get a short and everything will die

if it isnt secured super well at the ends then itll spool around the shaft until it runs out of slack, one or both ends will be yanked straight out of the battery terminals/fuse box, and everything will die

im kinda curious which flavor of electrical death this faggot witnessed
