Hi,

Just found a table saw on craigslist that's single phase, 320 volts. I
have 220 in my garage. How does one get 320 volts?

The saw is almost certainly says 230V on its power spec plate. 220V
service actully often measures 230-240 volt. He just twisted the 2 and the
3. (See comment on units below)

The speed of light is 1.8*10e12 furlongs per fortnight.

Wow that brings back memories of the instructor who made us work problems
in the BSF (Barley corn - stone - fortnight) system. Barley corn is about
1/3 inch long, stone weighs 14 ounces, and a fortnight is, of course, two
weeks.

The unit of force was the sluggard which, acting upon a mass of one stone
for one fortnight, would accelerate it to a velocity of one barley corn per
fortnight.
