This whole thing looks like death is waiting.

Mm gummi bolts.
MellieMckinna24
I would guess that they did that by pushing a thousand amps or so though it.
Badlyphotoshopedconfucedfloofygiraff
A tad overloaded.
cthulhubomb
As an electrician.. Don't touch that.
acekicker
Touch it
Imadethistobeatmybrother
I am an electrician and that IS bad

Why is *only* that one nut glowing?
sleepy63
because the current flowing through that one nut is split amongst several others, making them less hot

Good old Light Emitting Nut. Very important tool to have around the house.
unfluffybear
not only will this kill you if you touch it, it will hurt the whole time you're dying.
Todayiswensday
Somebody even posted a chart to show the degree of devastation, I really like the glow though! ????

I'll fix that - hold my beer.

I thought it was a red, plastic nut for a second.
NastyGalMeowMeow
SAMESIES.

That’s a lot of stupid and laziness in one picture I love the double nuts to the left
jrsofty
From the looks of the insulation this isn't the first time.
haldirk
Poor water on it to cool it down. I'm sure that will help

It needs to be grounded to the one next to it. We call it a jumper. The heat will be distributed evenly after this.
MadStach
The slight heating loosens it to finger tight, just tighten it.
jarv0
Just tighten it...
thebison
The current situation doesn't phase anybody???
wheelzy
Watt?
WhatzitTooya
I see watt you did there.
MrVacuumBrainBimbo
Attenuate your concern.
hashtagKKas
Laughing so hard it hertz.
McBook
I'm actually quite shocked currently

When you about to bust a nut
HighMagosSquidward
Mfw that isn't a LED
qussow
MFW that isn't a moon.
HighMagosSquidward
Mfw I have no face
LovableTramp
MFW that's the joke
snoopybbt
I want to throw water at it... From the distance.

So this is in English and in Bulgarian also...

That is actually very informative!

My nuts are none of those colors. Guess my nuts aren't hot enough.
Pseudosim
That looks like red
HighSeass
1400 degrees nbd
YOUPROBABLYSAWTHISNAMEINTHECOMMENTSANDLOOKEDBECUASEITSALLCAPS
For tool steel, I would think a nut would be manufactured from mild steel? Correct me if I'm wrong
savemebabyjebus
those look like they may be stainless, and different grades have different hardness. 304 is about as hard as mild steal. 316 a bit harder.
stnapssip
so....about 1439 degrees F?

EliMFrost
I'd like to see this with a picture at each temp
GrimRiderJ
Let's make a post!
celestedrake
I feel this should be relabeled various amounts of nope. Like 'don't touch', 'gives _ degree burns', 'run away fast','give up on saving it'
Hiesenburgers
This looks like a chart showing the color change during heat anodising rather than the actual colour due to heating
BlacksmithSam
You are correct, sir! I'm a blacksmith and thought that as soon as I saw it.
elmesito
And it is specific for tool steel which is not the same steel they use to make nuts and bolts.
LeadByBadExample
And nuts, bolts and washers for electrical use are more nickel covered copper or brass.
Hiesenburgers
and he's got 300 points for incorrect info, smh...
RJWaters
it gets you an approximation, its not 100% accurate however the information is correct, if not useful for this purpose
CaliZach
TIL how exactly how hot Blue Steel is

I would not be able to resist spitting on it.

I bet it tastes like cherry.
toddscat
That's why you should put your tongue on it.
Kangarou
Could potentially harm/kill. At high enough temperatures, water contacting heat explodes.
MrVacuumBrainBimbo
Needs more resistance.
Idouglas87
Piss would sound better.
thatclimbingguy
That would get you a solid electric shock though
Pikka
Nope, a stream of piss is not an unbroken connection. Watch the "3rd rail" mythbusters episode.
astamurti
Not fond of that one. They used gravity only, bladder uses muscular contraction. I can get a solid stream to ground.
Pikka
I am actually willing to bet all my money that you can't. It just looks solid. Some of the footage they used was Adam's actual, human stream
YaroslavStekhov
depends on voltage and stream
thatclimbingguy
My uncle managed to get his wiener shocked that way
Pikka
I suppose if you get really close you might get something...
McBook
My cousin once pissed at an electric fence
CoolHandRK
I am no electrician, but that looks bad.
sometimesifeellikeanut
you're red, that is bad
McBook
Nuts. So hot right now
Blastergv9
I'm an electrical engineer. I don't like to jump to conclusions. I say touch it.
walterpeck
I think the last time this was posted it was noted that it was probably heated by a torch
LooseyGooseyBrett
I'm no colorician, but that looks red.
SmilingSamoyed
That scary part of this is you can't see any glare in the photo which means he most likely opened the panel and reached in to take the shot
Rawrey
It's been heated with a torch to remove. The washer would be where the most resistance would be. It's not heated up like the nut. So, torch.
InevitableBadger
Hush now, truth is less fun
350Zoidberg
I am, and you're right, that is bad.
res20stupid
Showed it to my electrician cousin, he fainted.
wittie888
9/11 would not want.
TheEngineer89
I like that there was a brown conductor connected to that neutral bar at some point too. Looks like they decided to just cut that one off!
abacaxi
Does this qualify as a "breadboard"?
SkypeOfCthulhu
Just a 1500 amp fuse, no?
RulesOfImgur
Audio, visual gallery.*gunshot* "OK time to change the fuse
350Zoidberg
That's awesome.
XFMR
I am too and I concur. That there be a problem.
Jeswig
I am too and I agree there is a possibility that there is something wrong.
Kaleopolitus
I'm an engineer and that level of rusting is pretty bad for a system's ground.
OtterlyMagnificent
I'm not, but I can tell that's not an LED (As a Computer Engineer, I must say, That looks Fecking dangerous). It's clearly an LEB...

I love how he opens the other one like, I didnt do that, I was working on this one, mines working fine.

Why is he constantly screaming "I want my mom" at the top of his lungs?
SpecialEdForces
Imagine having a massive arc welder go off in your face, now ask that question again.
TheWanderingPoet
If I were him I'd probably contact someone to shut it down so we could fix it. Freaking out doesn't solve anything.
