I should have added, it carried on glowing for some time after I got home too. At that point, I was well away from the train lines, though we do have 11 kV overhead cables around 30m from the house. It eventually stopped glowing so I assume it was the presence of the overhead train lines which caused this.
When I was a kid, there was a main set of high tension power lines several hundred yards from my house. I had friends that had garden sheds under the towers that were lit by fluorescent lamps collecting the stray fields. A piece of wire on each end of the bulb enhanced the effect. I knew of one guy that had a big coil of wire in the roof of his shed and he could light a 100W incandescent bulb from the stray fields. -Chuck Harris _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
