The first dude to ever wind some copper wire around an iron nail was
really
onto something....
Maybe that first dude needed to to know a bit about several things
before realizing he was onto anything. Just winding wire around a nail
is a fencing job, or cheap DIY repair.
But if the FD had insulated wire, and a battery, he'd have been a
scientific dude

Bill Sturgeon, an apprentice shoemaker from Lancashire did it first.

He used bare copper wire, a bent piece of iron and a single cell.

Phil, have you forgotten to take your meds lately?
There's a special light blue pill that enables your sense of humerator
to function.
Of course, maybe you've been taking too many brown pills.
