I have seen this picture somewhere else already and I was wondering like I am wondering now if what they do might actually be safe. They are connected to earth potential only through huge impedance of the rubber pool. Any current that would go through them into earth would be very small.

I'm thinking it might produce a shock effect similar to that of an electric fish, just by virtue of being able to complete the circuit on the outlets. It would also trip the breaker before it could do too much harm... Unfortunately.

the real problem is where are they gonna have the barbecue if the grill's power cord is wrecked?

They would need to be grounded to be shocked here, as soon as one of these idiots touches his foot to the ground with one foot still in the water, ZAP! Same thing with dropping a toaster in the bath tub, you won't get shocked unless your foot or something is touching the drain. Besides, it looks like the power strip in the water is pretty well sealed.

When the power cord falls into water, it'll short trought it, effectively making the whole puddle a giant conductor. And they're standing IN it.

you all fail. nice theorycrafting though.

it's not plugged in because the fucking white pmulti-socket is not waterproof. water gets in and that's it. doesn't matter if it's swimming on flipflops. there's water in it, and that's why it's gonna short-circuit, and that's why they have to pray that the fuse flips before they're toast.

flails around the correct answer. Water conducts electricity very nicely, but without being grounded the eurotards here wouldn't get any amperage. It's the amps that kill you. If anything gets grounded here, these guys fry, but so long as they stay in the pool when the power's flowing then they're okay. I'd like to see one of them try to take a piss . . .

But if you're in the bathtub and your GF slams the door open and tosses the toaster in, you're screwed (unless the dim bitch plugged it into a GFI) because the water is grounded through the drain, you are in the water, . . . eh, do the maths.

The cord carries grounding wire in itself. The pool will be adequitly grounded when shit hits the fan.

And that's great IF the current flows through the wire, in which case it's not flowing through the water. If the circuit is shorted, iow the current then these guys are fine unless the pool is grounded. But that's a nice try.>>292710
still the right answer.
>> Anonymous
It only takes .7 of an amp to kill you. I still wouldn't want to be anywhere near that pool while it's like that. Did anybody notice that fat ass in the back leaning on the edge? Chances are the breaker would pop before these guys get fried anyway and they'd most likely get a little poke nothing more.

something that an americunt cannot figure out is that the red cable does not need to be plugged in, you lack the power of skandinavian brains!
>> Anonymous
>>292525
Uh... no?

Yes, the breaker would trip, but if that is plugged in and happens to tip over or otherwise come in contact with the water, it would for a brief moment, send an entire house current through the pool. It would seriously injure and/or kill anyone in the pool.

Stupid to rely on it, but I think the power tap would short to is own ground pins before anything bad happened. If not, they could be in serious trouble if there's a pathway to earth through the pool liner, or if someone straddled the side with their feet. Only thing that'd might save 'em then is a ground fault interrupter, which I doubt the building has on any outlets except in the bathrooms.

Adding a little chlorine to the gene pool. Nothing wrong with that.

Fun fact: ultra pure water is actually a very good insulator. But because it's such a good solvent pretty much all water has some sort of solute in it and that is what makes it conduct electricity (even a tiny bit of salt makes it dangerously conductive). However it should be noted that even ultra pure water undergoes auto-ionization in which two H2O molecules can randomly react to form H3O+ and HO- which means ions will be present allowing for some conductivity (however slight).
>> sage
>>293083
Ok, well first, yes.
Hydronium ions are dictated with H3O+.
However, hydroxide ions, in my country at least (I'm assuming you're some amerifag) are dictated with OH-, not HO-.

Plus, you're a faggot. Enjoy your soddomy.
>> sage
Oh and to enlighten further on why salt can be dangerous, Is because... due to it being soluble etc etc, NaCl molecules seperate to form Na+ and Cl- ions, which then are free moving charges (electricity). If that were a DC power source, which it's not... Then you would end up with the cation (Na+) at the cathode (- Electrode), and the anion (Cl-) at the anode (+ Electrode). This is an often used factory process for preparing chemicals, it's called electrolysis.

This being an AC power supply (If I remember correctly, having to think back to year 13 chemistry here...), then you would get both elements being oxidised and reduced at both electrodes, hence you would obtain Sodium and Clorine elements, as the ions are oxidised and reduced.

In industry I think they only ever use a DC current. With both an anode and a cathode, which makes the whole thing alot simpler, that way you can also make the electrodes out of the right materials etc.

the water is connecting the circuit of the sockets. You are in the water, which is helping the connection... Before the breaker can trip, something has to make it trip, which is going to be the electrical short, that you are standing in.
