Me once got a 5 minute explanation that not even a soldering is nothing but a time-limited connector,
and one of the worst kind.
(that is why telephone copper cables don't use soldering, just wrap the wires together and make
sure they feed a "cleaning current", kindo a bias, not to get too rusty)
However, these 5 minutes was more on the sillycone part of the same problems, further removed
far away from the 110-220V stuff, but grounding and connecting is a problem for both.
That is, once again, the guys who try to solve what happens when things do not work the way
some young students have been told they should are the real guys.
Btw, the good US compromise, IMO, was to build a different electric utility network in
industrial, commercial districts, as well as moving the 110V transformer as close to the
homely homes and houses as possible, without the meterman and service crew having
to be legally shot too often for trespassing on private property.
(well, compared to the scandinavian right to private trespassing, but then there is the
hstory of first trespassing citizens and much more funnier squatting stuff from UK)

Just joking, obviously, changing existing networks is not something easily done, not without a
lot of pain, something important today too.
Btw, standards and railways, seem there will be some important railway-traffic between
South Korea and Finland, us as the terminating end of the same rail width as Russia
and both Koreas, another formerly military stuff from the 1800s, just like the
french meter, right hand traffic and inches and stones from the 1700s??
(as well as 300mmeter pizzas, these days, standards are intersting)
Ouch, those mutually agreed standards when many would like to have their own monopoly on sharecroppers
and company stores. |
