The small diameter wire forces the smoke to travel at a high velocity,
inducing a vacuum which pulls the contacts together. (thank you Mr.
Bernoulli) There really is no magnetism in the wiring; the cars, OTOH have
significant animal magnetism, which explains the odd attraction between
cats and the interiors.
On another note, I was pleased to note another car on the freeway this
morning with the top down, and it was a recent Capri! OK, so it's not the
nicest looking car around, but it sure beats the heck out of all the Miatas
with the tops up! She and I exchanged big grins, and went our seperate
ways... sf
