Okay. You have a cup. Take a pitcher and put 2 cups of water in that one
cup. :) It only holds what it was made to hold, just like the calc draws
the power it needs... I've run my calcs off my PV/Wind array's out back of
my house and thats easily 700amps DC... Works fine.

Umm.. No :) Unless the calc is drawing the power to fry the traces,
nothing will happen...

No. The power lines spark because they were only made to handle
60,000volts or so...
Tell me this:
A coil can produce 15,000volts and all it does is tingle me when i grab on
to it.
A 120volts from by outlet will put me in to heart arrest within a few seconds.
Watts/Volts=Amps
Amps*volts=watts
amps/watts=volts
If you have 15,000volts and 240watts, 240/15000, thats .016amps
If you have 120volts and 240watts, 240/120, thats 2 amps.
Realy, I could give a TI-92 a 5100amp (3 * 2volt 1,700amp AlaskanBattery),
and it would do nothing but never run out of power... :)
