>squared Yup, fergot the squared. Bin yeers since ah last did thet kind of fisics.
>female folk Read the book, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus? Grey, by the way, is on his fourth or fifth wife; is it called 'research' or just 'can't git along with the wimmen'? Anyhoo, it's a scientific fact that the Moon has an effect on a woman's monthly cycle (just ask any married man [or in any state of male/female relationship - dating, common-law, married, divorced, has sisters. and so forth] whether or not the moon can affect her moods, etc. Thats why they call it 'monthly cycle', or as both my daughters call it -PMS: Putting Up With Men's Shit -, which has been known to cause minor??? conflicts between my pure, innocent, self and my the females with whom I'm privileged to live. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Lynch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 2008/05/27 02:18 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [social] I am not receiving anything from this list On Mon, 2008-05-26 at 13:15 -0700, Pat McBride wrote: > Actually, the earth's magnetic field is generated by, among other things, > the rotation of the plasma at the earth's core.

Especially at 500 kV and 100 kA. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! No dispute that power lines produce strong varying magnetic fields but do they affect people? How many kids play with really strong magnets and how many suffer health defects accordingly? - Yup, but the magnets they play with don't have the magnetic field that power lines do. 500 kV x 100 kA is an awful lot of power, some research places have toroidal magnets of that strength that they use for such minor things as pulling staples, nuclear research, cyclotrons. The research into health defects isn't known, as yet, because the power line right of ways are mostly used up here for grazing cattle and horses (and the odd deer and meese). Not too many people want to build a $500,000.00 (Can) house under a power line, does something to the artistic look of the house. Also If the plural of mouse is mice, Why isn't the plural of house hice; If the plural of goose is geese, Why isn't the plural of moose meese? > Farmers are smart, they've been putting 100 turns of #6 copper under power > lines for years, free power for the farm. Until it burns down. I'm surprised you can get enough power transfer to run a farm unless the coil is very close to a power line and is quite long. Still if you held a fluorescent tube up close to a power cable it will light up because of the voltage gradient from the power cable to the ground. If a lot of current flowed to ground the power company would lose a lot of money. If you act as the conductor to facilitate that process you are likely to die ;-) - They use insulated wire, about 100 turns 3 feet (1 meter for the Metric Folk) in diameter. Or they use PVC water pipe. The voltage to ground isn't that high, about 150 to 200 volts or so. The power lines are usually about 40 to 50 feet above ground, so the coil is reasonably close. Ive worked on a house about 500 feet away from a 250 kV power line, cleaning up the wiring and installing the circuit grounds. We kept getting shocks when we connected the grounds in the cable to the main ground, so I measured the voltage to ground. 95 to 150 volts from the ground bonding conductors to the panel connection to ground. > WHAT!
