    I have a signet ring I wear in my pinky finger that's just a tad too tight now after 30 years. I can't hammer on the flat initial side but would this work for the other half that's just a band? It's a solid ring, not one of the cheap hollow ones.

    Do capacitors really store electrical energy? Because as an electrical engineer I was told that the main and one of the disadvantages of electrical energy is the fact that it can't be stored. Of course, even if capacitor does so, in practice the energy stored in a capacitor isn't enough for it to fart. Edit: capacitors don't store electrical energy, but they store electrical potential energy
