    Elections merely facilitate the transfer the power, like (the non-leading edges of?) a drive shaft or cogs.

    Even with DC you need a loop (well, a difference).

    Carbon fuel one-use mentality where you burn your supply (chemically stored energy) doesn’t apply, tho non-rechargeable batteries make it seem so.

        God I hate that video, he explains everything so badly to the point of completely misinforming viewers. He’s talking about a special situation of AC current, but uses DC in the thought experiment. He makes it seem as if the field travels to the load in a direct path and the wires don’t matter. No, the EM field is completely based on the wire.

        No, the leading edge of the mechanical transfer of power - I was trying to make a faux comparison that electrons would be the inside of the shaft/cog & the fields the leading edges (that transfer the power & are moving more).

        I mangled the comparison, should have given up on it. Vibes are hard to compare with anything non-vibes.

        Great youtubing in the links, that’s how you get them views (benefit several creators and spread science)!
        (*I just skimmed them for the general vibe, I’m not voicing support in case they are weird ppl, I don’t know them.)

        Edit: while speeding through I noticed a very cool simulation (software), yt/mcez0ri9yPY, these are very neat visuals.

      non-rechargeable batteries

      Yeah, why are they still a thing? Recharchables have all the advantages but more.

        Low self discharge. Good for ultra low power devices like remote controls or lights only used on occasion where a rechargeable battery would self discharge faster than the rate of actual use.
