It is based in concepts even taught in elementary school science (ie what Ben Franklin demonstrated and how electricity works). Why is that so hard for so many? It cannot be explained in a sound byte. If that energy dissipates harmlessly outside, then it is not inside hunting for earth ground destructively via appliances. Your concern is a rare transient (maybe once every seven years) that might overwhelm that protection.Įffective protection means one knows where hundreds of thousands of joules are harmlessly absorbed. Best protection as an appliance is already inside that appliance. If anything needs protection, then everything needs that protection. What remains for the few not educated by subjective (junk science) reasoning and advertising That is somehow an informed reply? Eliminate all answers without numbers. Others make recommendations because surge protect or sounds like surge protect ion. How does that near zero protector 'absorb' hundreds of thousands of joules? How many joules does that protector claim to 'absorb'? 80 joule. Potentially destructive surges can be hundreds of thousands of joules. How does its 2 cm protector part 'block' what three miles of sky cannot stop? Did they forget to answer so damning questions? If adjacent to an appliance, then it either 'blocks' or 'absorbs' a surge. And this is what we try to do.First learn what a protector does. We will try to buy some food and eat some vegetables.Ġ3:17 As I said we bought firewood, which is extremely valuable, because we need to use the firewood for cooking. We also found some sort of a black market with vegetables that is working so far but you can’t find meat or something like this. Plus we also give a host to half of the people who are located in the same building for their small children to sleep in the basement because people are afraid.Ġ2:50 We try to give generator electricity to people from the street to charge their phones that they use as a flashlight at night.Ġ3:00 So, we try to do the best we can. So we have comparatively good compared to others.Ġ2:29 We have now approximately 65-66 people in our building, lets say. When we run out of the stock, we will boil water from the stream. We still have some storage of potable water. We tried to achieve hygiene standards as much as possible but not always actually possible.Ġ2:10 We found a way to collect some water. We have started to get sick, many of us, because of the humidity and cold that we have. We also visited destroyed and damaged houses of our colleagues to pick up remaining food there. We still have some fuel for generators so we have electricity for 3-4 hours a day.Ġ1:43 We bring all the food that we have in our house. All other adults and children above twelve they sleep in the office.Ġ1:36 It’s really cold. Especially the people are often confined in small spaces.Ġ1:25 We keep the shelter, the basement, only for children and their mother. People started to ruin someone’s car to take the gasoline out.Ġ1:14 People are getting sick already because of the cold.Ġ1:17 They have nowhere to go. (coughing)Ġ1:05 People started to attack each other for food. But there is no way to find it any more in the city.Ġ0:57 Hospitals are partially functioning because the city council delivers fuel. Especially for diabetes and cancer patients. Some people still have food but I’m not sure for how long it will last.Ġ0:39 Many people report having no food for children,Ġ0:44 People report varying needs in medicine. Many have no water at all for drinking.Ġ0:25 All the shops and pharmacies were looted four to five days ago. The city council delivers some bottles of water to major user points, but it’s insufficient to cover. Meaning no means for heating.Ġ0:05 Still people find ways to collect the water. Loglist – Audio only Sasha Volkov (03’27’’)Ġ0:00 No electricity, water and gas supply. Note to producers and editors: Our team in Mariupol is not available for interviews. This interview was recorded by satellite phone on 09 March 2022. Our deputy head of sub-delegation Sasha Volkov describes the situation in the city. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has a team in Mariupol. People urgently need respite from violence and humanitarian aid. Hundreds of thousands of people have no food, water, heat, electricity, or medical care. The humanitarian situation in the city of Mariupol is becoming increasingly dire and desperate.
