$10K flaming challenge.
OK...I've thought about it and have THREE offers for all of you.
Offer #1: If ANYONE can make one of my power cords burst into flame (that was "burst" not "light") through ANY kind of abuse I will give them $10K and formally apologize on Audiogon.
The rules are as follows:
The cord must be plugged into a normal home wall outlet that is "on code" with proper circuit breaker.
Any substance that would be found in a normal living room can be applied. This would mean alcoholic beverages are OK but gasoline, fulminate of mercury, sodium, or other laboratory chemicals are not OK.
You can crush it, smash it, grind it, drive nails through it, use a sander on it, piss on it, or even coat it with bacon grease to entice you neighbor's obnoxious dog to chew on it.
Proper safety gear is recommended and Mojo Audio is not responsible for any damages caused to any person or property in the process of this challenge.
Mojo Audio assumes only qualified persons with proper safety gear taking proper precautions will attempt this (legal disclaimer).
It is also recommended and acceptable that you plug my power cord into a UL listed extension cord and do all of these things outside of your home in some sort of fire proof area (fire pit, metal can, etc.).
You will QUICKLY get your circuit breaker to trip but BURST INTO FLAME? Not a chance.
BTW, I may also pay for home videos of people attempting this.
Anyone up for the challenge?
