If I've only converted one, it was worthwhile...

Thank you.

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

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.

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

UA100, who is going to ask Grandma about this...

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?

[TBone]

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.

Izzit OK if I bring that bucket of water back in the garage?

[Steve Decker]

Depends.

Is it still a bucket of water?

Is it safe? bzzzzzzzzzzz

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
