Hi guys,
I have purchased some of Mike's DVD packages in the past and I cannot find one of the theory disks that has the clip I am trying to find.
The clip shows Mike doing a demo using spools of 12 AWG wire, checking resistance and ohmic values, attaching the wire to a circuit, and calculating ohm's law to prove why it does not trip the breaker.
He also uses the spools of wire to show inductance and and attaches the second spool to a light bulb to show the induced voltage onto the light bulb.
THEN, he takes a large screw driver and sticks it into the spools to show the magnetic effects of the material of the shaft of the screw driver and how shutting off the electricity while it's still inside the spool magnetizes the screw driver.
I am teaching a class to the Boy Scouts of America in February and would really like to do this demo for them/ with them as it really brings together so many parts of basic electricity.
Any help tracking this down would be appreciated.
Happy New Year.
