Not to look down on you Brian, but i thik you have an oversimplified view of the "smoke"...
I have the personal belief that the black wire that returns the "electronpowerenergy (EPE)" (sorry for the technical term) is the root cause of most electrical failure. I am not alone here, as I am part of a highly advanced secret society whose members adhere to a stict code of silence. I just cannot help but say what follows as i think it is time.
If you go back to basic physics you will see that red items always go faster or perform better, ie all race cars are red, important items are red (caution signs, stop signs, stop lights, etc), women with red hair are much scarier than brunettes and the list goes on.
So the positive wire coming from the battery is always red, so the EPE can flow out best. But when it comes to braking the esc attempts to put the EPE back into the battery and is forced to do this thru a black wire. Since we know that red wire transmits the EPE fastest, it is only common sense that the black wire cannot keep up. So you end up with a backup of EPE and we all know what happens then. The EPE builds up a mass of power that must be disapated. So it undergoes a phase transformation to black smoke (stay with me, as this is getting rather technical). And since you cannot have 2 black items in the same space at the same time (law of conservation of matter) the smoke will transfer itself into an alternate universe for a microsecond and then reappear back in our universe on the outside of the black wire, usually blackeneing the area around it.
Possible cures for this? Well I do not have to tell you that more money is spent trying to keep EPE in than is spent curing cancer and maintaining Donald Trump's hair combined. I do think that the KISS princle should be applied here (rock and roll all night) and after we get over the hangovers and get tested for STDs we should change the color of the black wire to red. Now I know that it cannot be the exact shade of red as the positive, as the EPE would not know which wire to exit, and that may cause a time/space ripple that could have effects stretching across the cosmos. I for one do not want to go down in history as causing the sun to implode. And neither should you, no matter how much you want to trump Nixon for bad ideas.
So we must carefully balance the shade of red on the negative wire. Some setups may require a pink wire, others maroon. We need an impartial 3rd party to do this, and I nominate the free masons. They are generally old men, and while they cannot move fast they often have canes and those could be used to beat offenders. If we allow them to police this I feel the situation of smoking electronics could be completely avoided. Now we would need someone to watch over the masons, as the balance of power could shift to them, and we really do not need that to happen. Bricks would be everywhere and they would likely take over the concrete industry and build all kinds of useless stuff like mailbox surrounds and curbs.
Thoughts?
