Thanks for the attaboy. You know, I approached this little project as a sort of nuisance, but it turned out to be more entertaining than I had anticipated :^) So yes, I guess I got some good lessons from this *experiment.* My next series of experiments, in no particular order, will consist of: attempting to repair a leaking bathtub attempting to explode a CR2032 by overcharging it ( inside a plexiglass container, of course ) attempting to explode a NIMH by overcharging it ( forced current ) attempting to explode a NICAD by same attempting to eat a multimeter without getting sick in the process attempting to levitate by will of thought attempting to turn a chicken into chocolate by using home-made *atom smashing* apparatus ( I have _seen_ this done on rabbits, so I am going to try it. I saw a chocolate *Easter Bunny* at a nearby store recently) attempting to reanimate roadkill by sending bolts of VanDeGraff-generated *lightening* into the cadaver attempting to turn lead into gold attempting to figure out why *Kentucky Blue Grass* is green, not blue well, you get the idea I am VERY BUSY over here these days ! Any contributions for R & D are, unfortunately, not tax deductible, so I am going to have to get *creative* in trying to figure out how to pay for all this leading edge scientific research :^) -- Lawrence lglickman@ameritech.net Big D wrote in message <365427CA.F1C54490@y.com>... >Not only did Larry bring up some great points regarding the internal voltages >associated with his GPS, we all learned a lot from his experiments.
