Crash and burn - you'd think I'd learn...
Boss dug this book out of the bookshelves today for some reason
Found on a recent thrift recon mission...
Ended up reading it and then an impromptu static leccy experiment with a plastic handle and tissue paper. Very good. Then scratting about in the drawer found some old wire (I hope), a battery and bulb.
NOT shaking nits out of her comb...
I made the mistake of trying to by-pass conventional experimental techniques and held all bits together with my fingers. Yes it burned. Much to the amusement of Boss. You'd think I'd learn - but managed to burn myself a further three times before declaring the point of the experiment a success: never play with electrics and always get a grown up to kill themselves on your behalf.
Lesson learned. Fingers burned.

How perfect You are O Allah, and I praise You.
I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except You.
I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.’

Youch! My daughter and I have been playing with a "Snap Circuits Jr." kit, where all the parts snap together. Switches, lights, sounds, a flying fan blade. What fun.
I have half an idea what's going on in a circuit from my dad's playing with ("working on") stuff like this when I was a child. Considering our local power plant partly blew up last year, this experience could be handy if we suddenly need to install a solar panel to be able to read at night.
"Not shaking nits" LOL
Yes I need something more finger friendly for future investigations...
Black electrical tape? Or some other kind of tape?
Mmm I was thinking maybe just get the hubster to do it all and burn his damn fingers instead?? Tape might work too....
