I hadn't heard of this.

. . . Shocking.

[K7SGJ]

Electrifying.

[KK4AMI]

Transforming!

[NQ6U]

Empowering.

[K7SGJ]

Jolting

[KK4AMI]

delighting

[N2NH]

Rectifying.

Also puts holes in the arguments of people who claim powers stations are fortresses.

[KJ3N]

Must have been taking orders from N5PVL.

Ohm my god, that's a good one! More power to you.

[NA4BH]

I try to stay insulated from such actions.

Always good to remain grounded and avoid high tension.

[K7SGJ]

Watts wrong with youse guys? You've all transformed into highly reactive induhviduals.

[N2NH]

That's going to resonate.

[K7SGJ]

I think we are all in mutual agreement.

[NY4Q]

Y'all forgot voltaic...

[NQ6U]

Y'all forgot voltaic...

I couldn't be induced to say that.

Am I gonna get a Degree in Electrical Engineering by trying to keep up with this thread?

It could swing either way, or you can get an alternate.

[KK4AMI]

Watt is ammeter with me, I shunt be here.

[NA4BH]

It could swing either way, or you can get an alternate.

That would generate some interest.

[K7SGJ]

Go ahead, I'll be along, directly.

[W7XF]

Oh, the reactive response!!! What would henry do? Issue a summons for a violation of Ohm's Law.

So what do you suggest, kill them with a noose? Also known as a swinging choke?

[suddenseer]

The last time I was transformed to the point of caring, I felt isolated, and tapped to the core.

[kb2vxa]

Sniping? I thought you said snipping.

[N2NH]

Hark! What alternator through yonder window spark?

[W7XF]

Those idiots should know that one cannot make bacon from a pole pig. Oh wait....that's how those pesky Canucks get their round bacon?? Who gnu!

The "swinging choke song" (from the 50's)--"Dance With Me, Henry."

Another popular tune from that era: "It Only Hertz For a Little While."

[kb2vxa]

Swinging choke songs are instrumental, it's hard to sing while hanging from the gallows.

Then there was Frank ZAPpa with Electric Aunt Jemima and Why Does It Hertz When I Pee?

Glad to see the transformer puns winding down.

[NQ6U]

Glad to see the transformer puns winding down.

That hurts to the core, primarily.

That's what happens after getting caught smoking in "the chair" 8)

Flux you.

The puns (lines of farce) in this thread have reached saturation.

I've been isolated and insulated from all these current affairs as Eddie has mentioned :yes:

The Sex life of an Electron

by Eddie Currents

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 characteristic 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 until 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.
