This is such a good series and the coordination of the graphics is just what is needed to reinforce the points being made. Thanks to Paul and the team for these excellent videos.

Ever see the Mythbusters (I think) where they built a toaster the size of a travel trailer? The diesel generator connected to it experienced inrush current in a _big_ way.

Mythbusters is one of my favorite TV shows of all time :)
