I'm no electrician, but I'm pretty sure this thing runs on direct current rather than alternating....

Right, but by definition, DC doesn't have cycles.

You see my confusion now, yes?

I have an EE friend, I'll ask him what he thinks...

So asked my boss... he's confused too.... 60 Cycles is 60Hz AC, but we don't know why it also says DC.
My only thought would be that it didn't mind if it got AC at 60Hz OR DC. Unfortunately, testing that and being wrong would be disastrous. :asshat:

Maybe. it makes noise when I plug it in but I haven't been able to get it to do anything yet.
What type of noise?

If it has a motor inside, it might be stuck. Flat spots on the stator I think it's called. Not sure if it's worth your time to open it up and try spinning the innards.
OH! It might have a rotary converter thingie inside! (depends on heft, those aren't "delicate" components) This way, it could self-rectify the incoming AC to DC.

lol! generally easy to avoid water moccasins by not swimming in wooded areas.

We have fire ants here too... I have an Epipen for those... :lipssealed:

By the way we've got 8-10 inches of snow forecast for this weekend... not sure how we'll survive this... :giggle:

Jeeping in snow is loads of fun though!

Just watch out for the other drivers...:asshat:
