Well an electron has mass and what did the apple man say about things with mass and movement. Shall we force this magnetic issue. I fear a revolt. But in a faraday cage a man can stand wherever he wishes. And a man could hang from a 500KV line or stand on a 500KV line and feel nothing. But I donot profess to be a power EE. I come from the electronic EE. A PF of .0003%? interesting. When I speak to any of infinite impedance, no pressure they possess can make me feel even a single electron move. The most powerful thing I've worked on is watman.com tom watson tosiwmee

<If you're really an engineer. Tell me what you have done when you have dried out a mineral oil filled transformer to a PF of .0003%? > Wow, your standard of proof is low. You have avoided a dielectric breakdown. It just happens that I used to sell just such a service [which also removed oxidation, acids and other gunk]. But I'm not an electrical engineer. Anyway, my voltage is bigger than yours. [230 vs your silly little one]. How is this on topic? Mq PS: Actually Faultline, I thought Michael Cummings should have stayed on. Admittedly, he's another of those wacko militaristic maniacs, prone to shooting up coffee tables, or was it windows, in SI, [yes Mike, there were witnesses], but like Hawk, Unclewest and others, it's good that they be here to see the civil point of view. But now that he sees what can happen with military tribunals, how about a bit of Christian foregiveness for something he didn't do [that I noticed anyway - I'm in the 34% against his execution]? If he'll accept it of course.
