And thusly were the wise words spake by Tom Peters
I built a hot dog cooker when I was 9, consisting of a small piece of pine
(1x4 nominal), two nails, and a line-cord connected to 110VAC mains. It was
based on an idea I saw in a book somewhere. My dad was absolutely sure it
wouldn't work. It did. We disassembled it right after using it because of
the hazards of exposed line voltage and two pointy things sticking up.
Those were the days.
I wonder what would happen if you did the same thing for a hamburger,
but instead of two nail use a flat round piece of metal... Would you
get a capacitive effect?
Cheers,
Bryan
