Re: Magic Smoke and Shrapnel

this year i learned that you can get magic smoke and a nice sized spark if you let the wires of a motor touch after they have been unplugged directly from your battery if the wheel they are spinning is still going fast enough. A logical occurrence if you look at it in retrospect but still quite scary and confusing when it first occurs.
