    We used to do that for fun in my old shop. That and see how much voltage DC motors from old VCR's and tape players would take and how fast they would go before they would burn and seize up.

    Used to do that in my HS electronics class. Wonder if they still have those classes in HS. I got 5/17 credits that way (and two more in photography), but my english ain't too good. Them was the days.
