    Saw that thread and reason I didn’t participate was that haven’t seen previews or the movie, so really didn’t know what to say. If you see it, please give us a review in FF

    To understand what's going on, loop up electroplating. Atoms (Ions actually) are leached from the positive electrode and deposited on the negative electrode. In this case when the battery negative terminal was grounded, copper was removed from the wires and distributed into the dirt surrounding the cable and when the battery positive terminal was grounded, atoms moved from the dirt to the wires.

    Current flows from positive to negative, electrons flow from negative to positive.

    Actually no one cares.
    current IS electrons, voltage the "pressure" in a water pipe.
    I saw a cartoon in todays paper, people were walking into the "cemetary of last words",
    on one tombstone it said "wheres the ripcord?".
    On another it said "AC or DC , whats it matter"?
    So some should care
