IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT SAFETY AND KZfaq:
• Teaching KIDS TO SURF ...
This is a RESPONSIBLE and RESPECTABLE channel.
My channel does not promote or glamourise dangerous activities like lift surfing.
I've seen recent evidence of kids surfing, or attempting to surf lifts which was also shown in THE SUN and THE MIRROR newspapers (see above link).
VERY WORRYING...
• Video
It goes without saying that KZfaq is a public platform and our channels are popular with kids, and kids are influenced by what they watch. I'd like to think these kids didn't get the idea from my channel.
A warning in a video DOES NOT exonerate you if harm should come to a kid that was copying something that YOU have portrayed as a fun activity.
..........
THE MRMATTANDMRCHAY CHANNEL, established 2008:
I'm passionate about uploading quality and interesting videos for YOU, my audience.
What is my channel about? "Old lift machinery made interesting", old air-raid sirens, prehistoric alarm equipment. If "I" don't find it interesting ...then IT DOESN'T GET UPLOADED!
I always spend a lot of time editing my videos with animations, video in-sync with music and voice overs to make them this way.
My moto - "Quality NOT Quantity" - spending a month editing a video is not a rarity!
But without you, I'm nothing here. Thank you so much for watching.
...mrmattandmrchay is me (Matt) and my son Chay.
THANK YOU very much for watching :)

The contactor in the cabinet seems a little worn. There is a lot of arcing when latched.

@BenDeSwert666 Жыл бұрын

true. it shouldnt be arcing like that. it will fail prematurely if not adressed. good thing you can preform maintenance on this type of contactor. it should be ok when you clean the contacts.

The shaftview looks very cinematographic, it's the lightning+music and the editing that gives it a certain atmosphere. I wonder if Matt did something with the camera's shutterspeed to capture the sparks on the relays.

@@dykodesigns It's a filter in adobe premiere to make dark areas transparent so the sparks appear on top of the layer (shaft) below. It wouldn't be a mrmattandmrchay video if it didn't have atmosphere! ;)

I have been on a couple of single-speed lifts, but not for years. Both lifts are now long gone. They scared me when I was a child, due to the jolts as they stopped. We referred to one as the jumpy lift. I travelled on the other one a few years later.

Nice old lift - I notice there isn't a creep speed, just go / stop. What is going on with the left hand direction relay? I think a contact service is needed!!

@mrmattandmrchay 2 жыл бұрын

I'm guessing, the contact is not pushing hard enough, leaving a resistance build up and arching between the resistive area.
