Dear Everyone,

I received and invitation from Lou, to introduce myself, first and foremost
the only thing I know about electricity is I cannot see it. ( As kid I wish I had learnt that one quicker!).

I am focused and driven and its to that end I am making a post about an domestic electrical challenge I have.

Yours sincerely

I think the challenge is for him to learn to see electric... as a child he never learned that skill

U can smell it sometimes, but see it Nah.

You can see it in certain conditions though...
Lightning
Sparks
Arc in a vacuum

I'll be the sensible one, again, and post up a link to the 'domestic electrical challenge'

You ought to change your name to Hercule as in Poirot, Spoon, if I'm on the right track well spotted.

I have a transformer with a tap on it. Never seen anything coming out of it though.

I remember once when I was only knee-high to a grasshopper...
The fridge in the kitchen didn’t have a light in the socket, and as my age was still only in single digits at the time, I didn’t know what the gold coloured round things in the round black thing were.
It was only after I touched them that I realised what it was...
