Nice post AdeV, just done an experiment I did in a physics lesson in about 1963, get a pencil and scribble a heavy line on a piece of paper, put the leads of a multimeter on either end of the line and move them together watch the needle go up as they get closer. bend the paper, its flexible and it conduct electricity! can I have my Nobel prize now please?

He He, :) Hermetic reminded me of an open day at the senior tech where I was a student conducting folk around the physics lab. We had a neon sign glowing on a table with no wires to the coil providing the current at high Volt minimal Amp. Someone asked how it worked and I, (who should have known better) used a pencil to point to the line drawn on the table top. :Doh: Rudely Jolted into the realization that that was not the thing to do.

Yes, but it is the sort of thing that you do in a split second isn't it, I well remember spraying WD40 on an arcing ignition coil on a Leyland sherpa engine. As the wall of flame engulfed the engine and my eyebrows, the thought going through my head after the expletives was " you really should have thought about that a bit more before you did it" Phil |
