Electrical scam revealed

Forget all that nonsense about magnetic fields and the flow of electrons along a conductor, ‘cos that’s just it…its nonsense, a myth put out by car mechanics to support a lavish lifestyle at our expense !!

The reality is simpler but more surprising….SMOKE. When you think about it all, it becomes startlingly obvious. Smoke makes all electrical things work. If smoke escapes then the component stops working. For example, didn’t the last starter motor you replaced on your car start smoking before it pack in ? Of course it did.

The wiring loom in a car carries smoke from one device to another, pumped around the system by the Alternator and when a wire springs a leak it lets the smoke out and everything stops. The starter motor requires lots of smoke to work properly, so it has very thick wires going to it. The battery stores lots of smoke dissolved in battery acid which is why they where once called accumulators, until it became apparent that us mechanically minded types would twig the secret.

Naturally if you try and dissolve too much smoke in your battery, it will escape through the holes in the top which is why batteries with sealed tops explode when they get too much smoke in them.

With regard to Joseph Lucas and his wrongfully sullied reputation, why is he so maligned ? why are Lucas components more likely to leak snmoke than say Bosch or denso ? Because Lucas is British and British things always leak. British Motorcycles leak oil, British sportscars leak rain, and British electrical components leak smoke !

So there now you know.

Cheers

No completely different sparkly bits .Firstly they have to move much faster which means they don,t last as long as you common angle grinder sparkly bit and also you need a highly trained competaint and expensive hourly rate plus call out electrician to put them in with the smoke!;)

PS are the sparkly bits the same as the ones you get from ‘stores’ for the angle grinders ?

It’s true. I’m glad somebody has finally seen it. I used to stop working to smoke.
