What I was going to say.
I think there is an ancient patent somewhere about just that.
Well! Alternators _are_ current sources, but not for the reason
Larkin claims... no surprise ;-)

That's all we need - the schoolyard bully just turned up!
And, as usual, he offers no actual information.

Jim makes you think.
He might make you think (I shudder to think what about!!!),

You should shudder, since you seem to have so little technical acumen
and he isn't afraid to point you out as the village idiot.

but when he's
not posting his inane political rants, the thing I see him doing most is
hurling insults at people he doesn't agree with - he was straight on the
attack (totally unprovoked) at JL
Totally unprovoked? Hardly. Larkin was plain-assed WRONG (as usual
by the way). But that doesn't seem to matter to you plain-half-assed
village idiots.
and didn't take long to follow up by
calling me a village idiot.
Am I not correct? Care to present some contradictory evidence?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
