"Plus if I got some high output capacitor, there goes my killer gas mileage that I modified my car for."
Let us know when you find a HO capacitor. I would think those 15 killer tweeters would effect your mileage.
Steve Mantz, Robert Zeff, Gary Biggs, the list goes on and somewhere in there is haemphyst!

in case you missed the correction post since the forum doesn't have an edit button I meant high output alternator.  You don't think the additional power comes from magic, do you?

What about Mary's Furry Cat and the Left Hand Rule for basic motor/generator theory?  Lenz's Law, anyone?

Never heard of Mary's Furry Cat (but can you intoduce me to her?) The Left Hand Rule, I know. And Lenz's Law, I have HEARD of, but I forget it at this moment.
Electricity is my friend! Anyone ever see (let alone build) a quarter shrinker? I'm still looking for reliable Trigatron plans! DYohn?
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Trigatron?  I might have some plans somewhere... I do have a Jacob's Ladder, and I've built a few capacitive discharge welders!

Mary's Furry Cat (or another word for the "c" if you're in the military) is used to remember what gets attached to the thumb (motion) the index finger (flux) and the middle finger (current) when applying the left hand rule.  Lenz's Law describes the torque applied to a current carrying conductor in the presence of a magnetic field, and how current is generated in a conductor moving through a magnetic field.
