Finally, electrical mysteries solved!

Makes sense to me.




Proper circuit function depends on the transmission of negative ions by retention of the visible spectral manifestation known as smoke.

This has been referred to as the smoke theory as when the smoke comes out, it's finished, cooked, done for.

Smoke is the thing that makes electrical circuits work. We know this to be true because every time one lets the smoke out of an electrical circuit, it stops working. This can be verified repeatedly through empirical testing.

For example, if one places a copper bar across the terminals of a battery, prodigious quantities of smoke are liberated and the battery shortly ceases to function. In addition, if one observes smoke escaping from an electrical component such as a Lucas voltage regulator, it will also be observed that the component no longer functions. The logic is elementary and inescapable.

The function of the wiring harness is to conduct the smoke from one device to another. When the wiring springs a leak and lets all the smoke out of the system, nothing works afterwards.

Starter motors were considered unsuitable for British motorcycles for some time largely because they consumed large quantities of smoke, requiring very unsightly large wires.

It has been reported that Lucas electrical components are possibly more prone to smoke leakage than their German, Japanese or American counterparts. Experts point out that this is because Lucas is British, and all things British leak. British engines leak oil, British shock absorbers, hydraulic forks and disk brake systems leak fluid. British tires leak air and British Intelligence leaks national defence secrets.

Therefore, it follows that British electrical systems must leak smoke. Once again, the logic is clear and inescapable.

In conclusion, the basic concept of transmission of electrical energy in the form of smoke provides a logical explanation of the mysteries of electrical components especially British units manufactured by Joseph Lucas, Ltd.

Ut Oh~ My Canon Camera has smoke coming out of it.......It still works but eeek I never post pics. LOLOL

My bike just backfires on occassion..... now that's The Big Bang Theory. Need to get the exhaust fixed.

PS ~ Missed ya this weekend Bruce.

Seems to make sense.
But what about the mirrors.
Smoke w/o mirrors just seems like a half theory.

Re: Finally, electrical mysteries solved!

The smoke escaped from my 1977 Triumph about two weeks ago. Here are a couple of photos of my smoke incident. Yup the Prince of Darkness struck. In defense of the bike, she got me home without having to push, put her in the back of the truck or a trailer. Gotta love that positive earth.
