one for the electrical clever devils

I bought a new lecy tooth brush today.
The brush handle docks on the charger but there are no electrical connections that I can see.
question.. how does it charge the battery?????????

regards electrical numpty Kipper.

Inductance...

flux capacitor

by magic

Phase plasma... 40 watt range variant.

inductance is a great thing, you can now get electric hobs that heat the pan direct, no pan = no heat. Clever stuff!

Flux valves.

I second Magic - most things work by it!


ReMan - 7/11/06 at 10:16 PM

Are you absolutely sure it does work?

smoke, if it escapes from the wires it won't work anymore - trust me.

Tooth fairy,

Did I pay a fiver for this

i paid more!

still think its a bargin just so i can tease NS Dev (and you should the see the posts i decide not to post!)

oh, it works by the manufacturer doing a deal with the tooth fairy, the base station is actually a fairy attractor. During the night they come along and change the batterys over - seems they where not making enough money from teeth and decided to branch out.

PS: The toothbrush charges by inductance.

It works on belief, while you have faith in it it will work just like aeroplanes are kept in the air by the faith of the passengers.

radio waves from space. Those clever aliens!


ch1ll1 - 8/11/06 at 08:01 AM

still think its magic,
just dont have your left thumb pointing down to the floor when you pick it up,

or you will know about it !

I think its actually a sham and the base is a dummy.

They're pulling the electrons out of your brain via your teeth!!

Who would have thought my lack of understanding of things electrical would have brought forth such a wealth of very clever answers to my question.
So lets see? the majority think my tooth brush works by magic which is axactly what I thought in the first place, perhaps I am not soch an electrical numpty after all .
