    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Volts = Current(amps) * Resistance(ohms)

Volts push current through the resistance R-Ohms
Resistance resists the flow of current.
Current is the hapless pawn between voltage (pressure) and ohms (resistance)

If you open the tap wide ( close switch) on the garden hose water will flow.
If you block the end with your thumb (open the switch) there will be no flow ( current ) and you will feel full line pressure ( voltage) at your thumb.
If you now wind the tap almost shut ( high resistance, corroded plug) the flow ( current )is reduced to a dribble.
If you again block it with your thumb ( open the switch) you will still feel full line pressure ( voltage)
Voltage doesn't really tell a lot about the health of connections unless under load.

Fun with analogy! ok, but you need a closed system ....a pump, a generator. and it follows that from the tap, that it must return to complete the loop. so this needs hose (wire). Maybe the "hydraulic" machine model is my favoured one....

Though a river is kind of cool-boulders or canyons being Resistance... the Sun -> evaporation-> and a waterfall height providing voltage, the ocean is ground!

If you like "Circuitous" explanations there is always this one.

Posplayr,

If there's one thing I would never do is argue about electricity...I don't know Jack!

It's good to know there's your stator papers here. I did a battery check with your help a while ago. Thanks for providing your knowledge and skill set to us all.

Finally! Some electricity instruction I can understand!

Is everybody able to see the picture in the first post. It doesn't seem to show up on my iPhone.

Glad everything is working ok; I'm just trying to keep the reduce some of the mystery.
