Isn't that what a diode is for? A little check valve?

Speaking of float switches, I installed a brand new Rule superswitch
yesterday. Tested it out, worked fine the FIRST time. After that, when I
released it it wouldn't cut off unless I cycled it up and down and banged on
it a bit. Sheesh.

tempted fate with:

By the way, take a good look at your car's headlights: if you take a
right
turn, the right headlight gets a little dim because all electrons are
forced
to the left side of the wiring in the car. You know, inertia, centrifugal
forces and all....

I've worried about my VHF antenna. It's way up at the top of my mast.
Are the electrons slowing down on the way up? And when they come
falling back down the coax like little bombs and plow into my radio,
can they damage it? Is there a radiation hazard?

To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.

I installed a replacement Rule Superswitch in July and one of the
flexible ligaments connecting the mercury switch in the float opened in
two months. Replaced with Sureflow Piranha float switch without flexing
leads (after getting a refund from West Marine for the Superswitch)

When I worked for GM, the first thing suspect in an electrical problem
was "out of the box" parts .
