I wouldn't exactly call it ignorance of the laws of physics -- tho I would say comments like that are generally more appropriate over on Pirate...

Chris-

That was not my intention. If I came across like that, it was purely by accident. Electrical theory is very cool and it has varying levels of complexity. Magnetic fields and induction of current is semi-complex. Wrapping it into an alternator makes it more complex. Still cool, but it is like starting a book in the middle. There is a whole bunch that goes into the explanation that came before. I can also explain how your kidneys work, but for you to understand with any degree of depth, you need some biology background.

Anyway, I like breaking things down and explaining them. It helps me better understand things, it makes me look things up sometimes and I hope it might help someone else, somewhere.

Again, great discussion. There are a few details that would fill in the gaps, but I need to look them up. But, right now, it is 11PM on Halloween night, with a full moon and I just ate some dinner. Trust me, it has been one of the more bizarre weekends I have had and there was no alcohol or candy involved.....
