And we use a full 60 cycles, not a cheap 50 cycles. I don't know what the Europeans even do with all the cycles they save.

Not at all constrution sites. In the UK, electric tools and portable lighting at construction sites are sometimes fed from a centre-tapped system with only 55 V between live conductors and the earth. This system is used with 110 V equipment and therefore no neutral conductor is needed. The intention is to reduce the electrocution hazard that may exist when using electrical equipment at a wet or outdoor construction site. An incidental benefit is that the filaments of 110 V incandescent lamps are thicker and therefore mechanically more rugged and shock-resistant than 230 V lamps.

I've even got a tool (steel rules count, right?) that doesn't use electricity at all.

Pete, A word of caution; When that tool does use electricity do not pick it up.

I think you really mean it uses 0 volts.

They save the other 10Hz in their efforts to be "green". Then recycle them to make more 50 cycle electricity. So what was the point of the OP anyway????

I've noticed he seems to do that. At first I thought he was a webtv user, but I checked the headers and it must be something else.
Maybe we could all chip (obligatory wood reference) in a few pennies apiece to buy him a clue.

He is a troll and this is his shtick. He never responds to those who attempt to help him.
