Closest i ever came was with a battery box that had an inverter getting some old flourescent lights to turn on, but this guy has beat me: https://youtu.be/QaI1oVx2rDM Starting an elevator in an old hospital

Me and a friend got the clock in the clocktower of one of the buildings at an abandoned school working.
Me and a different friend also played around with the gantry cranes in a huge military base and suspended a chair from it (although we were there with permission so it was slightly less naughty!)

One time I kicked on the marquee of an abandoned movie theater for a few photos. They cut power a few weeks later and it was eventually torn down.
I've long wanted to try the battery box/inverter thing with a neon transformer, to light some neon in abandoned malls.

Got a forklift running once- that was a little surprising. Also used to bring batteries with me to install in clocks at abandoned houses and then set the correct time. It was fun seeing the instagram posts a few months later commenting on how the house was totally trashed but the clock was still accurate.

Losing my shit over that video. Not sure I'd want to play around with abandoned high-voltage equipment like that. I came across this a while ago and now I want to ride one. https://www.youtub...atch?v=KV0IxaiVbmY
Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing. |

about 15 years ago, a member of the montreal board who was working in a food factory that had recently closed. They had a functioning humphrey manlift, it was cool, expecially considering they had double height floors, here you are going up on a board the size of a cafeteria tray and standing 40 feet in the air

In my area, there are a lot of factories with this kind of elevator and I always thought it would be really cool to run one. I just don't know yet how to replace old engines with new functional and compatible ones. I wish you to make your business happen and do not hesitate to return to the subject if you manage to realize your kind of dream. Clearly another level...

I was comming back from a job about 10 years ago, i had my generator in the back of my truck. Saw a restaurant that had been torn down years before, sign was still there, had neon, chase lights and a light box. SO i thought what the hell, cracked open the access panel at the bottom and lit it up one last time, it was a sight to hehold!

I got one of the large 300 ton gantry cranes to work at a steel mill once.

Back when Obeezy did Cash for Clunkers they used this abandoned baseball stadium to stage exchanged vehicles. They left ignition keys in most of them and before we left we staged a bit of a demolition derby with the few we could find that still ran.
