“A bird sitting on a high voltage wire proves there is no electricity running through it. /s”
Why the sarcasm? It is a fact that electricity does not exist and is a myth.
Everyone who has actually observed what happens during a failure of an “electrical” device knows that what really makes all these motors and refrigerators radios and car starters and etc. work is SMOKE.
Try this: short the output leads of your high powered stereo amplifier together. Now try to play some music at full volume. You will notice that smoke comes out of the vents (Well, why did you THINK they were there?) Now remove the short and hook your speakers back up. Notice you can not get your stereo to work anymore.
Do you know why? YOU LET ALL THE SMOKE OUT!
The reality of “electricity” is also painfully obvious to guys who had old British cars with Lucas electrics. Those things leaked smoke all the time, and never could be relied upon to function properly because they were always low on smoke.
I have been earning my living for my entire life being involved in the repair of electrical/electronic devices of many kinds. Do you want me to let you in on the trade secret to make things work after repair? (I will probably be killed in some mysterious way after telling you this but it is high time the world knew the truth!)
The reason we professionals can make electrical devices work and you can’t is because after we replace all the leaky parts you blew up, we (looks over each shoulder and whispers in a conspiratorial tone) we put new smoke back in!
I have an old Siltronics 10/11C sitting on my bench right, the owner of said radio having "just had to look inside." Well he saw this disconnected lead that he just knew was supposed to be connected to "well that looks like the right spot."
Well, he let the smoke out of the radio! He created several leaks across the board and I am now trying to plug them all up so that I can put in some new smoke.
I think stuff like this is similar to those people that just have to pull that string holding the button on their shirt - they know that when they do it the button is going to fall off, but the little voice in their head says "do it, do it, do it!!!" Two seconds later you hear the button hitting the floor...
People seem to not understand that an electronics tech and a plumber both use solder to stop leaks - plumbers use it on copper pipes to keep the water in the pipes, electronics techs use it on circuit boards and connections to keep the smoke in. Not hard to understand at all!
