Default do you snif the door panel now???

Well, this forum truly is getting older. It took two full days longer than I expected for the door panel/window sill question to come up.

Let's try to be more alert out there next time.

Don't know about #1 wire but if you pull my finger it alleviates some of the pressure and sounds a lot like a Honda Civic with a coffee can exhaust tip at 4,500 rpm in 1st gear.

You will need an inverter capacitor discharge valve, that way you can release the energy in a controlled manner at a time of your liking. I did this, and a 26.2 mile drive produces enough power to light my house for a month. So at $3.05/gal for premium, and averaging 21.5 MPG around town, it now costs me $3.71 for a month's worth of electricity.

1.218 gallons of premium gas $3.71

one inverter capacitor discharge valve $1.98

30 minutes of installation time $0

If an explosion of power is released and no one is there to hear it, did it really explode?
