    Yep… just ground one head and connect the other head to the positive post.
    You should be able to solder or do small welds from anywhere between the Two points… if the foil is thick enough that is..

    If serious, just disconnect it from the head unit, or use HVAC foil tape.

    that is a rabbit hole i probably shouldn't have clicked on.

    chiefly, my adblock plus and ublock origin noted that there were zero tracking cookies active on the site. meaning the very-fast-loading site is paid for entirely without tracking or ad's.

    i left wondering how conspiracy theorists can be so financially successful...

    I guess they’re selling product not ad space. And you’re right, damn near instant load. With all the ufo stuff on media these days, I’ll bet they are getting some traffic now! :rofl:

    That website has been around for years. It predates all of the click bait, constant advertising crap. I don't recall how i found it in the first place.
