Big 'Mojo Components Debunking' thread

Ok, you got your soldering iron and nothing is going to hold you back, but you have no clue where to start or what to build. There were others before you with the same questions... read them first.

If electrons are really so picky about which direction they prefer to travel, what's to prevent them from all deciding to move side-to-side rather than end-to-end? In that case, current would be flowing like crazy, but none would be entering or exiting either end of the wire. That would be a serious problem! :D

Full article here. Of course, it's a god-send for the marketing people ;)

It'll be very interesting to see if the work can be duplicated. Notice that Clarity Cap sponsored the research.
