@rail_ fast bc it explodes the battery and launches device into orbit, so technically true. Supersonic charging, even
    @rail_ @nanianmichaels I have a 240V to Ethernet adapter at home, more commonly known as an Etherkiller. It's functional but has never been tested.  @TerrorBite @rail_ @nanianmichaels In case the enduses are complaining too much?     @DeltaWye @wutchilli eh that's not really possible afaik You either connect stuff phase to phase for double the voltage or with things like motors, you connect all three phases but with difference to neutral the voltage stays 230V There are 3 phase rectifiers tho @rail_ @wutchilli Nah I mean a similar plug and a corresponding 400/690V power source! :awesome:   @rail_ oh hey! I made one of these that works. I plugged my keyboard in with it. Never got around to making a video about it, sadly   Oh. Oh no! Oh no oh no oh no oh no! (I use those connectors at work and 480V three phase is not to be fucked with!) @rail_ Ah, okay. I was assuming US voltages and probably shouldn't have since that connector is widely used in Europe. And either way I'm going to stick with my 'oh no!' Ah, the electrical equivalent of getting to drink from the FIREHOOOOOSE!!!   @rail_ i kinda wanna build one like that now... they're cheap enough to get... i don't have a socket to test with tho   @rail_ That looks very familiar. Mine even supported fast-charge (as in USB-PD) ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIB_IDNbT4s   @rail_ If you're trying to charge your car off your phone, you'll have to wait a while. 😉 @CamstoneFaux EV? We use those for kitchen stoves over here 😎 (half-joke, this specific connector usually isn't used but wiring scheme - yes) @rail_ What I like about this is that you could totally build this and make it work, even safely :)  @rail_ well, it looks more likely to be useful than that HDMI-to-garden-hose adaptor... @rail_ “Your device is charging slowly. For optimal charge, please use the charger that came with your device”   @rail_ I almost built one of those once! I knew a place with an unused 3ph IEC60309 socket and thought it would be funny to charge my phone off it.   Oh good god fellow citizen rail. As an engineer this irks me in ways that few could imagine. Well said, and played :) "History records that truth wins. Eventually." @rail_ wurde vor ca 10 Jahren entwickelt für das xphone. Um den Strom der nuclearen Zelle in das Hausnetz einzuspeisen. Und wegen der SMS to Toast Funktion. https://youtu.be/9-nezImUP0w?si=p_8eDnlcnabrrmVt  @rail_ When you see a shitpost and realize you know how to build it and make it work.  @rail_@bark.lgbt   @crashglasshouses @rail_ @crashglasshouses  |
