Smoke test
This discovery might be more pro-
found than the recent work done on
dark suckers (light bulbs).
As I was working on a solid state
device on my car the other day the realization of a
basic truth came over me. It was so
simple! So obvious! Why didn't I see it
before? I discovered how ICs work, be-
cause every time you let the smoke out
of an IC, it stops working.

Of course!
Smoke makes all things electrical work.
Remember the last time smoke es-
caped from your voltage regulator?
Didn't it quit working? I sat and smiled
like an idiot as more of the truth dawned.

It' s the wiring harness that carries the
smoke from one device to another, and
when the harness springs a leak, it lets
the smoke out of everything at once, and
then nothing works. The starter motor
requires large quantities of smoke to
operate properly and that' s why the
wire going to it is so large.

If improvements in wiring are to be
achieved, we are going to have to find a
way to keep smoke from leaking much
the same as we do for air in tires.

This is also how internal combustion motors work, if you think for a moment...........
