    One night thinking of Inchydoney Island Lodge and Spa Hotel , when my charge was pretty high, I Micro-Farad decided to seek out a cute coil to let her discharge.

    I picked up my wife Milli-Amp and took her for a ride on my Megacycle down to Cork. We rode across the Bandon Bridge, around the Sine Waves,and stopped in the Magnetic Field by a flowing current near Clonakilty.

    I was so attracted by Milli-Amp's characteristic curves, I soon had her fully charged and excited her resistance to a minimum when she saw the beauty of the Hotel we were going to.

    I laid her on the ground potential, raised her frequency, and lowered her reluctance. I pulled out my high voltage probe and inserted it in her socket, connecting us in parallel and began short circuiting her resistance shunt.

    Fully excited, Milli-Amp mumbled "OHM-OHM-OHM". With my tube operating at maximum and her field vibrating with a current flow, her shunt overheated, and I was rapidly discharged and drained of every electron.

    We fluxed all night trying various connections and sockets until my magnet had a soft core and had lost all it's field strength. Afterwards, Milli-Amp tried self-induction and damaged her solenoids. And with my battery nearly fully discharged, I was unable to excite my field, so we spent the rest of the night reversing polarity and blowing each other's fuses.

    It was then that we decided to go for a swim and just as I entered the water I earthed my self, the lights went out I was out of action for an hour! What a way to spend Earth Hour !

    When God said 'let there be light' he didn't charge for it.

    I'll spend earth hour with my fiance, curled up beside the fire and enjoying the simple things in life. Appreciating what we have and how lucky we really are to be able to enjoy the luxury of electricity everyday.
