6·8 months agoDepends on relative to what.
Connected to the wall: it’s AC (alternating current). half the wave is already negative. You can rectify it backwards, apparently. Or, you can use a split phase transformer.
Connected to a really big battery: big inverter just swaps the leads on the battery really fast.
Hold in your hand: negative charge pump. Magic & momentum.

Technology@lemmy.world•I never knew that USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reasonEnglish
15·1 year agoSafety regulations are written in blood. Electrical fires were indeed a problem. It’s why there are rules on how many outlets need to be in a room, how spaced out they need to be (to curtail extension cord usage even when the builders are trying to be cheap and stingy with outlets). It’s the reason why we have breakers and GCFIs and RCBs and AFCIs. It’s the reason why we have electrical certification bodies like UL which won’t certify your cable or appliance if the cords are too thin.
There’s a lot of smart stuff we do behind the scenes to make dumb cords safe because even smart people make dumb mistakes.
