Randy, Your desktop computer (and most others) have electric motors. No need to be surprised or <gasp!> fearful. ;) If you have an electric dryer, stove, or AC unit, then you more than likely have the necessary components already. What?, you are at the office! Even better, Workmans Comp will cover your upcoming hospital visit. What you *will* need is a good buddy w/ a baseball bat to stand nearby and knock you off the current should you get electrocuted, but don't worry about that, it rarely happens. <evil smirk> Take said motor out of box, I presume that it has some attached wires, if not find an old power cord and improvise. Next, plug said wires into the 220v stove/dryer/AC outlet and let the sparks fly. <hypothetically, of course> Remember, rubber gloves (not the dish washing or condom type) are fashionable for exercises like this. Alternatively (if you are a wus, *cough*, *cough*) you could just call a local electrician. ;) -Jim P. --- Randy Bush <randy@psg.com> wrote:
