Frank Einstein and the Electro-Finger (Frank Einstein series #2)
TAND STILL WATSON SAYS FRANK EINSTEIN THIS WON T hurt very much It's the very much that worries me answers Watson trying not to flinch Frank shuffles his feet on the wool rug He raises his index finger until it's level with Watson's nose Klink plugged into an outlet in a corner of Frank's laboratory looks up and says without any excitement Oh how exciting I cannot guess what is going to happen Me either Me either Me either beeps Klank Klink turns his single camera eye to Klank I know exactly what is going to hap
pen What beeps Klank What says Watson Frank moves his finger closer to Watson's face A tiny bolt of electricity jumps from Frank's finger to Watson's nose Bzzzzzzt Yow yells Watson Success cheers Frank Ha ha ha beeps Klank And people call you a genius says Klink Watson rubs his nose and sits back down at Frank's lab table What did you do that for Frank adds a drawing and a quick note to his lab notebook Energy Static electricity The same thing as lightning just on a smaller scale So you lightning bolted my nose Yes Why Why do we do anything Watson Frank pins a photo of a lightning strike up on the Wall of Science under energy To find out how things work To make our next inven
tion To get started on figuring out energy But mostly to make you jump POSITIVELY CHARGED NOSE NEGATIVELY CHARGED ELECTRONS I 2 1 A Klink unplugs his recharged self and autowinds his cord Static electricity Klink explains Free electrons gathered from rubbing the wool rug are negatively charged They jumped to Watson's positively charged nose because the opposite charges attract Which is exactly like lightning explains Frank Storm clouds become negatively charged on the bottom The lightning is the electricity discharging to the positive
Opposite charges attracting So great says Watson You can make an invention to shock everyone's nose NEGATIVELY CHARGED POSITIVELY CHARGED fig 2 2 IE Oh no says Frank This is about all energy And energy for all Energy is what makes everything in the world go Without energy nothing would happen This is true says Klink Energy comes in many different forms You may be inter ested to see that I have improved myself with all new energy attachments Klink
