Remember, the most important thing about an electromagnet is the electric current (in amps), not the voltage (in volts). What about 1 million volts?" Someone else interjected: "Sure, 1 million volts is cool- but what about 10 billion volts?" It has to be over-the-top big." Another writer must have replied, "Let's put a number there. Surely someone raised their hand and said, "You know, we can't just do an electromagnet. ![]() Perhaps someone came up with the idea of an electromagnet and an iron carrot and everyone agreed to put that in there. I don't know how the script for this episode came about, but in my mind they had a group of writers working together. Coyote is assembling his contraption, we see that it comes in a huge crate labeled "One 10,000,000,000 Volt Electric Magnet Do It Yourself Kit.” It's such a simple and awesome plan, it just has to work, right?īut wait! Here's the part that I really like: While Wile E. Coyote will turn on a giant electromagnet and pull the rabbit right to him. After the carrot is consumed (and I have no idea how that would happen), Wile E. First, he's going to drop a carrot-shaped piece of iron into Bugs' rabbit hole. After a couple of failed attempts to capture Bugs, he comes up with a new plan. Coyote has decided he should eat the rabbit. The basic idea is, of course, that Wile E. Let me set the scene-and I don't think we have to worry about spoiler alerts since this episode is 60 years old. Coyote walk on two legs, talk, and build stuff. I like to analyze the physics of science fiction, and so I'm going to argue that the Merrie Melodies cartoon “ Compressed Hare” takes place in the far future when animals rule the world. ![]()
