The user handholds the live stinger of an arcwelder. BTW, the O.C.V
on many arcwelders is more like 60 to 80 volts.

Not mine ( I checked) 48 and 25 are the numbers. The stinger _is_
insulated, no?

As are welding rods, and anyone above a halfwit wears gloves when
welding. Well, 'cept those in 3rd world countries using live 240v
3-phase xfmrs without goggles, long-sleeved pants, gloves, shoes, or
shirt. Remember that picture a few months ago? g

I think this is the crux of the global warming media hype (not some of
the science). Gobal warming research and it's ugly step-sister, the
media, are a business. They will only feed frenzy that adds to their
business. Hence, the lack of talk about your cold and snowy western
weather, lack of hurricanes in '06, etc. The only things that will
be brought up are those that will "help" their cause and industry.
Do something for something we KNOW about, like the kid down the
street that needs a home, etc. Don't try to help for something
that we are trying (ridiculously) to predict will be a problem
100-200years from now!!
