..... Too late! .....
The experiment has been done. The vac cleaner (unmodified) was plugged
into the mains (240v), and the pipe stuck in the water tank. This is
not a wet n dry vac!
It pumped the entire contents of the 1000 gallon tank out sucesfully.
The water went up the inlet pipe, thru the impellor, directly thru the
motor running on 240v mains, and out the back end. And it did the lot.
And it still works now. No series limiting resistance, no reduced
voltage, nothing.
And now I'm gonna confess something It had already been done
before I started this thread. I wouldn't have claimed it could be done
otherwise I didnt do it, its a barking idea, someone else did it,
and the vac still works fine afterwards.
You were so convinced it wouldn't work. You were convinced, even tho
you hadn't done the experiment and could find no convincing
theoretical reason that would stop it. You were also convinced it was
dangerous: it is if you just plug it in, tho with proper earth bonding
to case, water outlet and inlet, it can be made safe. It just operates
as an electrode heater, which is standard industrial kit.
This all tells me something about people, emotions, assumptions,
logic, and showmanship.

PS dont try this at home, ever.

Bullshit, I'm gonna try it at home.
How clean was the water? How good was your power source? No way it
didn't blow a standard 15A fuse, was it done at a farm running from a
weak diesel generator 2km away hooked up with bell wire?

Water
Would that work, or would all the water still end up in the vac?

If it can satisfy a perv, surely it can suck a pond dry
Anyone got an old tube vacuum cleaner they don't want?
I thought I'd continue in the same vein as the previous two posters by
misspelling the one important word. ;-)
connection to yours. said:And, BTW, the answer is "freeway".
This got me thinking. Other than US and Cnada, is English an official
language anywhere that is not an island.

My RCD's are checked regularly and wouldn't allow such abuse.
Current from either live or neutral must return to each other and not earth.
Even with good earth bonding, the earth has significant resistance
(more so this dry year), and dangerous voltages can be established
between the earth point and where the operator is standing.
Did he put a finger in the water to check?
(PS do not try this at home!)
Any industrial system would be double insulated from real earth.
When was his wiring last checked?
