One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro Henry decided to try to get a
cute little coil to let him discharge. He picked up Millie Amp and took her for
a ride on his Mega cycle. They rode across the Wheatstone bridge, around by the
sine wave, and stopped in a magnetic field by a flowing current.
Micro Henry, attracted by Millie's characteristic curves, soon had her
resistance at a minimum and his field was fully excited. He laid her on the
ground potential, raised her frequency, lowered her capacitance and pulled out
his high voltage probe. He inserted his probe into her test socket using
Maxwell's Corkscrew Rule, and began to short circuit her shunt.
Fully excited, Millie Amp exclaimed, "Mho, mho, mho, Give Me mho!" With his
tube operating at it's maximum peak current and her coil vibrating from the
current flow, she soon reached her maximum peak potential. The excess current
flow had gotten her coil hot and Micro Henry started rapidly discharging and
soon had drained off every last electron.
They fluxed all night trying various connections and sockets, until Micro
Henry's bar magnet turned to soft iron, and had lost all of it's field
strength. Afterwards, Millie Amp tried self induction and damaged her
solenoid. With his batteries fully discharged, Micro Henry was unable to
further excite his generator, so they ended it all by reversing polarity's
and blowing each other's fuses.
