Way Cool!!!

I remember now of reading something like that, but I think it kinda bounced off of the "no way" cells in my brain, kinda like it did yours. It's really hard to absorb that current and voltage are so completely independent for performance.

I realize this may be a poor comparison, but it's kinda like current gives you the low-end power like a diesel (torque), and voltage gives you the high-end horsepower (RPMs) like an ICE.

You The Man, MPaul!!!
