Electrical thoery of smoke
 
ELECTRICAL THEORY OF SMOKE

Positive ground depends upon proper circuit functioning, the transmission of negative ions by retention of the visible spectral manifestation known as "smoke". Smoke is the thing that makes electrical circuits work; we know this to be true because every time one lets the smoke out of the electrical system, it stops working. This can be verified repeatedly through empirical testing.

When, for example, the smoke escapes from an electrical component (i.e., say, a Lucas voltage regulator), it will be observed that the component stops working. The function of the wire harness is to carry the smoke from one device to another; when the wire harness "springs a leak", and lets all the smoke out of the system, nothing works afterwards. Starter motors were frowned upon in British Automobiles for some time, largely because they consume large quantities of smoke, requiring very large wires.

It has been noted that Lucas components are possibly more prone to electrical leakage than Bosch or generic Japanese electrics. Experts point out that this is because Lucas is British and all things British leak. British engines leak oil, shock absorbers, hydraulic forks and disk brakes leak fluid, British tires leak air and the British defense establishment leaks secrets...so, naturally, British electronics leak smoke.

Hadn't heard that before
 
However, since you explain the theory so well and backed it up with experiments with Lucas electric parts and motors, you might have it worked out. Never did think about it - just plain smoke. No wonder the British drink their beer warm.

because the refrigerator leaks refrigerant?

The beer ferments differently than the beer we are used to here.



Thank you college!

The Smoke Escapes The Wiring And Related Components Long Before The Refrigeration Systems Ever Get To Operate.thus Warm Beer.

A simple solution to a sometimes complex problem....:)

Does it take Metric smoke or Whitworth smoke?
