Thumbs up A fly in the ointment. Or is tha an oint in the flyment?
If you have ever cranked up a Bell helicopter with the battery in the nose you will have noted the spinning of the magnetic compass. Is it possible that you will have the same effect but on a continuous basis if you power the driveline with DC motors.
