1. Further research indicates that the visual embodiment of electricity known as Smoke has a fundamental state known as Green Tea.
1.1 In tests carried out on the Bristol R##### missile system, a circuit board carrying electrolytic capacitors was connected across the rectified output of the main generator.
1.2 The gallant little capacitors were observed to transmute into small neatly formed mounds of green tea.
1.3 Analysis showed that the lack of Smoke was due to reactive rather than resistive loading (it's a Power Factor thing) which left the Smoke in its primaeval form, Green Tea.
1.4 Further work was planned but funding became an unresolved management issue.
