Practical Electricity / By Robert G. Mid

I read this book with my wife...TWICE. All I can say is, WOW, Terrific! We laughed, we cried, then we laughed again. Then together, with the expert guidance of this fabulous author, we built a 16-slice stainless steel toaster, a George Foreman grill for each of the volunteers in our local fire department, a Van der Graaf generator, and 24-meter tall horizontal-axis wind turbine - all from what we learned in just this one fabulous book!! Up until then, my wife had trouble just charging up our electric toothbrush every year...Ha ha ha..! Terrrrrific!! But now, because of the author, we're toasting muffins, cooking bacon, and laughing out loud as the kids play with their Van der Graff generator - and it's all with our own FREE electricity created from a giant wind turbine of our own design! Terrrrrific!! We learned so much from reading this book. Why do the stars only go to five? This book deserves eleven!! No, make that eleven-and-a-half!! LOL! The author really did his homework on this one. The smell of bacon never mad me laugh - UNTIL NOW THAT IS! Now honey, WHERE'S MY BOOK?!!! LOL! LOL!! Terriffic! Twelve stars!! I'm serious, this is a really good book. Our next project is a 600 kilowatt solar updraft tower with both dynamic and low-temp helical braking. Shouldn't take more than a week or two with this book. Take care. ~DH
