The Ladybird Book of Electric Power

[Guest]

 

This is a power socket. It can power an item with electric. Many items are powered by electric, such as televisions, toasters and electric blankets. Can you think of any more?

 

 

The electric comes down a wire.

 

 

Wires come in all kinds of lengths. This one is very long. Can you think of where this long wire might go?

 

 

This is an extension socket. This lets an item be powered from a long distance away.

 

 

This is another extension socket.

 

 

It runs to a battery charger. When a big battery runs out of power it becomes flat and can not be used. They have to be charged again with a battery charger. Can you think of what kind of battery this may charge?

 

 

This is the battery which is being charged. It is a motor car. The motor car ran out of battery power, but two men decided to try to push it over a rickety bridge anyway, as it was in the way. It did not work and was temporarily stuck there. They are silly men. Do you know any silly men?

Can we tune in tomorrow for another volume?

MOAR PLS.

There won't be any more, next time something has to cross the bridge, it does it under its own power. If it can't, tough luck.

Don`t fancy doing that again to be honest, due to the rear wheel being suspended in mid air a worrying amount of rear suspension components had dropped below the level of the planks, and I had visions of tearing it`s arse out getting it over once it`d fired up, however we actioned a plan that involved reversing it so that wheel was back on the embankment and then a bit of right hand lock to avoid suspending the front wheel instead.And all this time a spare pair of jump leads was comfortably nestling, in plain view, in the load area of the 323 wagon. Just goes to show that overestimating your own lack of aplomb when it comes being equipped for the task at hand can yield potentially disastrous results.

They were?!To be honest they'd have probably worked too, the only reason we don't usually use those leads is because they cost £10 and aren't very good at starting completely dead cars. I think that's the reason they were completely overlooked, I forgot they even existed until now.
