When welding one should always wear certain clothing. Leather boots (steel toe desirable), work pants (such as jeans) that cover the top of the boots, heavy cotton long sleeve shirt, welding beanie, gloves, and safety glasses. In most instances these items will protect you from sparks and weld spatter whether you are welding on a flat, vertical or overhead surface. A leather jacket can be worn to protect your shoulders and arms. Molten metal should not be falling if you are welding correctly. If you are sitting, while welding, a leather apron should be used.

How do you drain a washing machine into an overhead drain?

Draining refers to water falling due to gravity so you can't technically drain a washing machine to an overhead drain. However, washing machines don't really drain. The water is pumped out and up and can therefore be discharged to a drain that is slightly higher than the washing machine itself

Where does hydroelectricenergy come from?

From the power of falling water. Usually engineered to take advantage of a high dam where the water level inside the dam is kept at a high level. See the Boulder Dam for example. The water is fed through turbines which then drive electric generators. From the environmental viewpoint this is ideal as no greenhouse gases are evolved, and the energy is renewable. Also once the dam and equipment are built, there are no costs apart from general maintenance costs, and operating staff costs.

Why does your chain saw die while cutting overhead?

The fuel line inside the gas tank has a filter on it , and when you go overhead the fuel line is not falling down into the gas . If it has been replaced , it is possible that the line is too long , not allowing it to fall . Drain out the fuel from the tank . Turn it upside down and see if the filter is falling like it should . If it appears too long , you should be able to pull it out the fuel filler . Cut off alittle of the fuel line and put the filter back on and try it .
