Journal 4
When i was at the beach this past weekend i noticed that when i was body boarding i would create bow waves. When I'm coming down the face of a wave i am going faster than the speed of the waves that i create. Thus creating bow waves, which are created when the source of the waves move faster than the waves it creates. This was happening every time i would come down a wave. This is crazy.

This past weekend when i was at home i noticed a short circuit. When my home circuit board overloaded because to many of my appliances were plugged in the entire house turned off. All of the lights in the house turned off and nothing worked because i had to flip the switch. The entire house short circuited because there was too much energy flowing through the wires in the circuit board.

Tesla Coil
Last night when i was watching the television i came across a program about Tesla coils. They charge by touching. While the generator below the coil generates huge amounts of electricity the charge is stored in a large dome structure at the top of the coil. Its like a large van de Graff generator, but it gathers huge amounts of electricity which is expelled out of the top of the dome structure. This is what i was watching and this deals directly with charging by touch. From generator to dome.
