He picked up Milli Amp and took her for a ride on his megacycle. They rode across the wheatstone bridge around by the sine waves and stopped in a magnetic field by a flowing current. Micro Farad, attracted by Milli's characteristic curve, soon had his resistance at a minimum and his magnetic field fully excited. He laid her on the ground potential and raised her frequency and lowered her capacitance, pulled out his high voltage probe and hit resonance. He inserted into her socket fully excited. Milli said, "Mho, Mho -- give me Mho!" With his tube operating at a maximum peak dissipation and her coil vibrating from the current flow, she soon reached her peak also. The excess current flow made her hot, but soon Micro Farad was fully discharged and had drained off every electron. They fluxed all night trying various connections and sockets until his bar magnet lost its strength. Afterward, Milli Amp tried self induction and self excitation, but damaged her solenoid. With his battery fully discharged, Micro Farad was unable to excite his generator, so they reversed polarity and blew each other's fuses. "Still some good memories in those cores..."
