    Here is my hunch:
    It is more like a short circuit. There is a split in the tip and when you have a connection by the copper across the split, I think you are completing this connection which causes a short and thus gives you a high current. There is a spark like when you have a short.
    I have only used mine a few times to see how it functions, but I imagine that the AAA batteries will not have a very long life if you use it a lot.

    yep thats how it works not a pinpointed microwave short circuit

    Hello For the lie dector progect on this site i want to buy my parts at the local radio shack (closest stroe to me about the only store i think) and they don't have a 33k resistor could i use a 22k 10k and 1k in series? i figured i could and they don't have a 1.5k there would just a 1k work ? and they don't have a 1uF 16V Electrolytic Capacitor well they have a i uf but it is 50v would that work it is the closest thing to what it calls for that they have and for the trasnistor would about any transistor do such as une of these  last 4 transistors not the first on the page http://www.radioshack.com/category.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F011%5F002%5F017%5F000&Page=3
    and instead of the meter could you use like a led instead ? thanks for help in advance
    ps sorry for my bad spelling gramar etc.

  18. Very basic question from a newb

    if it is a dell then it probaly more hassel then it is worth don't use it but also be careful wth them they ground throgh there case so if you touch it when something it making it ground then it can give you a nasty shock (it has happened to me :P) also if it had 3 wires it was probably a motherboard plug but the comp psu would still give good voltage and plenty of current and you could run 5v things too if you wanted to

    hey if if you have an old computer power supply it might save you a lot of hassel if it is an atx look on the internet to figure out how to start it if it is really old then you might not have to any way you could just plug them in but if you have already cut of the adaper or it is a mother board conecter then you still have a great trans former lots of out put and a 5v and a 12v output :)
