A totally different explanation of electricity

jeremy, thanks for the clarification.

As for teaching kids, they may be able to learn more than you might think. I remember a professor chiding us in school because he said he was able to teach elementary school kids the stuff he was teaching us without the griping we were giving him. I can't remember the topic but it was something like Laplace transforms.

The point was that he was able to teach them because they just followed what he said to do without any preconceived notions of how things should work or whether or not they were difficult. Being the good students we were, we still griped anyway.:smile:

oops. I wasn't clear on why I drug your name in the mix. I was referring to the quote, not the joke.

BTW who is zog? I found the Albanian King Zog on Google but other than being the world's heaviest smoker, he appeared to be more of an embezzler than a killer. But he was tough, he was noted as being the only modern head of state to return fire with a potential assassin and had 55 attempts on his life.

Yeah I found out about King Zog a few years back, sounds like a crazy guy, there is also the Zionist Orginational Goverment, some militia group in Michigan I think.

My name actually is a nickname that I got tagged with 20 years ago based on a caveman in the old Far Side cartoons.

getting apprentices to learn with out griping, that would solve the great cosmic mystery of electricity

I guess I have been lucky so far. All the apprentices I have worked with were very hard working and eager to learn. I do try to make learning fun, though. Perhaps my fascination with electricity helps in this area. There is also much to learn from apprentices as they are in school being taught things that did not even exist when I was there.

It can work both ways, if you keep an open mind.
