Please 'Boom' Responsibly As most of you have noticed, the noise ordinances have become much tougher lately. Most of this is due to idiots, yes IDIOTS, who drive through residential areas with their windows down while their system is playing at full power. To make things worse, the music they listen to has all sorts of foul language that's not suitable for small children, (who may be playing outside). There are even a few people, who are even beyond idiot status, that play their systems at full power through residential areas after 10:00 PM (when many people go to bed). I don't believe that this type of behavior is good for the industry. If the fines get too stiff, people will stop buying large systems. If this happens, more people will get out of car audio (who wants a mediocre system). People get interested in things because they're exciting. A deck and four 6.5" speakers are not going to interest many of the younger car audio enthusiasts. If car audio enthusiasts keep annoying more and more people, the fines will keep getting tougher. All of this will only reduce interest in the equipment that fuels the industry. If you want to listen to your system at full volume, get out on the highway where there's little chance of bothering anyone. When you get to a red light, turn it down. If the only thing attractive about you is your 'system', you have some work to do. Bottom line... Think about what you're doing. Think about other people. It's not the end of the world if you have to turn the volume down for a little while.

Electron:
For any type of work to be done, something has to move. For the blades of a windmill to move, air has to be forced through the blades. For a water sprinkler to spin around, water has to be forced through the mechanism. The same is true in electronics. For any work to be done, electrons must be forced through a device. The electron is the negatively charged part of the atom that orbits the nucleus of the atom. The nucleus of the atom contains neutrons, which have no electrical charge and protons, which have a positive charge. An atom, under normal conditions, will have the same number of electrons as protons. The electrons are contained in multiple shells. Each shell will contain a predetermined number of electrons. The electrons are tightly held in shells that contain its maximum number of electrons. If it takes 8 electrons to fill a shell but it has fewer than 8 electrons, the atom will let the electrons come and go with very little force. This is the reason that some elements will conduct easily (their outer valence shell is not full). Copper has a single electron in an outer shell that can hold as many as 32 electrons. When current flows through an electrical conductor, the electrons are the part of the atom that are moving through the conductor.

You should remember:
1.Electrons are negatively charged particles.
2.Electrons are the particles which move when current flows.
