A Battery Story.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aDGp2Ta85M


Hello Children everywhere, are you sitting comfortably, then I'll begin.


Once upon a time there was a flying machine. It was made to take off from a floating deck at sea.  At the time there was an angry enemy that was about to invade the kingdom, so the flying machine and other machines were made available to defend the kingdom. The flying machine was a torpedo bomber that could attack enemy ships. The flying machine had an accident and crashed into the sea. It sank into the sea and was not seen again until 76 years after it crashed and disappeared under the sea. 


The flying machine had batteries on board, you know what batteries are don't you children?


Well, when the flying machine was brought up out of the sea 76 years after it crashed, a man called David Morris tested the 12 Volt batteries and found that they had a tiny bit of residual charge in them. Isn't that wonderful children?


The flying machine was called a Fairey Barracuda Torpedo Bomber from the Second World War, and it crashed after ditching from H.M.S. Daedalus at Lee on the Solent in Hampshire in 1943. That was a long time ago wasn't it children?

    If the 'plane had not been recovered, they might have got more than 12 V DC out of it, 'cos it seems to have been right in the path of IFA2.
