[Amps] Salt water dummy loads

[Dave M]

LOL nothing much less inductive than a bucket of salt water , I see a grown up version with a 5 gallon water bottle in my future, it should be fun to play with anyway a little chlorine bleach added will keep it fresh as well

And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, 
    Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff 
    As dreams are made on, and our little life 
    Is rounded with a sleep.
