Basic electricity, explained

[Lazy Daze]

I know a lot of boaters out there are confused by electricity. Here is a short video that will help you reach the same level of comprehension as those of us that are more experienced with electricity...

Nice!
Thanks Dennis!

Funny! Seems like I was misinformed during my years of electrical theory schooling. I needed to concentrate on carpet electrons!

Thanks, Lazy, but this was really pretty remedial to me. I thought everyone understood these basics.

No wonder we never seem to shock others when they're in our home....we have hardwood floors. The only shocking thing friends and relatives get in our home is when I get up in the morning, forget we have guests, and wander out of the bedroom in my skivvies.

Now THAT is shocking.

But he doesn't explain the smoke that travels thru the wires. When the smoke escapes, you got problems!

That was 5 minutes 48 seconds of my life I'll never get back!

It definitely is important to keep the smoke inside the wires. Try to keep the sparks there as well.

Hahaha!

I'm going to reenact this at my daughter's career day.
