Whatever.

You win, LRod!

You da man !!

Now hear this everyone:

LRod hath decreed that there will NEVER, EVER, NEVER be a home shop
dust explosion. Not EVER. ZERO chance. ZIP, ZILCH. NADA !

Let all Rod's people say AMEN.

You has done converted this wayward sinner, LRod.

Can I get a AMEN ?
I has SEEN DA LIGHT !

Now everybody shake hands and go make sawdust !


My, this sure has become a testy place of late. Maybe someone ought to fart
and break the tension...

All of which begs the challenge I originally posed: cite a single
example of a dust explosion occuring in a home shop dust collection
system.


To be exact, no example of a dust explosion occuring in a home shop dust
collection system as a result of a static spark ignition can be cited. It
may be possible to cite examples of fires caused by metal debris contacting
the impeller and causing a fire by spark or heat.

Problem is, static electricity does not have enough energy to ignite the
size of particles present in a home dust collection system.


With your absolute certainty that they do, it should be dirt simple to
find a cite. Just one. Come on. You know everything. Surely you can
come up with one verifiable example. I'll leave the wreck forever if
you can come up with a single documented instance.

The point, again, is to refrain from absolutism.

Uh, where does that leave "[t]hey can and do happen"?

Hmmm. What if the die were a faulty manufacture?

Then it wouldn't be a six sided die anymore, case closed.

What if it were a six-sided die with faces numbered 6 through 11?

As it happens, friend, I didn't say anything about home shop, plastic
yadda yadda in that particular post.

Dust explosions, including wood dust, can and do happen and are well
documented. We all have LRod to thank that one will never ever happen in
a home shop.

Now as Gus says, I'm going to make some sawdust.

Then it wouldn't meet the specifications of the original 'problem',
and the probability analysis would not be relevant to that changed
situation.


Next question? grin

Then you have once again changed the rules as the original die was labeled 1
thru 6 but even there, only 6 possibilities exist so a seventh one has ZERO
chance.
