Thanks for the insight. The coiled strip seems an opportunity for residual stress that could relax over time but gotta admire the old-school mechanical approach. I'm still amazed the switch still works and overall, that the entire system still works.
My son texted me yesterday, fuming because his cell-phone battery won't hold a charge right when he paid it off. Device failure is a marketing conspiracy in his mind. I should tell him two cans and a string would last longer.
