clappy,

i will be giving a talk on "electrical engineering in the new millennium" at the atlanta porch party. so any
electricians or electrical engineers that want to attend can write the trip off as a business expense. i hope you will be able to
attend. thanks, she

a sample of the information we will be covering:

The Sex Life of an Electron:

One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro-Farad
decided to seek out a cute little coil to help him discharge.

He picked up Milli-Amp and took her for a ride in his
Megacycle. They rode across the Wheatstone Bridge and
stopped by a Magnetic field with flowing currents and
frolicked in the sine waves.

Micro-Farad, attracted by Millie-Amp's characterisic
curves soon had her fully charged and proceeded to
excite her resistance to a minimum. He gently laid
her at ground potential, raised her frequency and
lowered her reluctance.

With a quick arc, he pulled out his high voltage probe
and inserted it in her socket, connecting them in
parallel. He slowly began short circuiting her resistance
shunt while quickly raising her thermal conductance level
to mil-spec. Fully excited, Milli- Amp
mumbled "MHO...MHO...MHO"

With his tube operating well into class C, and her
field vibrating with his current flow, a corona formed
which instantly caused her shunt to overheat just at
the point when Micro-Farad rapidly discharged and drained
off every electron into her grid.

They fluxed all night trying various connectors and
sockets untill his magnet had a soft core and lost all
of its field strength.

Afterwards, Milli-Amp tried self-induction and damaged
her solenoids and with his battery fully discharged,
Micro-Farad was unable to excite his field. Not ready
to be quiescent, they spent the rest of the evening
reversing polarity and blowing each others fuses.
