Water Flow Not Waterfall
a: Ammeter ~
b: flow gauge for your electrical system
What: "An ammeter wires into your electrical system in series, meaning you must run large wires to the gauge to support most (if not all) of the truck's electrical usage. An ammeter is like a flow gauge for your electrical system, and measures amps. It will tell you how much electricity you are drawing or putting into the battery. "

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
