| Subject: | Re: Melted battery contractor ground wire |
In addition to being embarrassed for crossing the terminals, I am VERY relieved
to have the answer. I know my build is good (If only I could do something more
robust to guard against human error). The cloud of uncertainty is a dark one.
I have learned a lot about electronics problem solving and how contactors and diodes
work in the system. Thanks for that.
I also know I have an answer for the question, Grandad, what happens if you cross
the battery terminals in your airplane.
I offer to you all, as a sort of recompense for your support, a Robert Fulghum
essay about jumper cables, page 128, in his book, All I Really Need To Know I
Learned In Kindergarten. It will surely bring out a chuckle as you read it!
Cheers

Un impeachable logic: George Carlin asked, "If black boxes
survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane
out of that stuff?"
