Vacuum cleaner coiled lead smoker

This happens when a vacuum cleaner lead is overloaded.

An unbelieveable amount of toxic smoke is generated

I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)

That would have made a nice extension cord that neatly winds up. But without an earth on it I guess not. The smoke bomb was well worth it :)

@itsdglad4 Yes but only for a lamp. Current rating 7 Amp max. as it heats up rapidly over that current, and as you said, no earth.

Yay! NZ won the RWC! Great video, that is one sh*tload of smoke there! Some plastics smell like wax (particularly black), some smell so bad you almost vomit and others are just weird. Seeing that you have smelt quite a range of plastic, what do you have to say about that?

[RODALCO2007]

@a380rockerfan Thank you. All Blacks did well. still a very tough game, The french actually played more organized.

I don't like the PVC fumes and try to avoid them.

still I get the odd wiff of it which is not nice.

Do you know Photonicinduction ?

No wonder they put temperature circuit breakers on those coiled extension cords. That is a crazy amount of smoke, never thought that it can be that bad.

I always make sure to pull it out all the way before turning the vacuum on for long duties, if it's a short one, i'll leave it coiled. Damn, what a fire hazard! A smokey mess!

@MrGerbilBrain

Wow. I'd say, from a normal function none should have their cord warmed up like that. Sounds like a bit too much current.
