Guys, In my search for energetic/dark/vacuum particles on Earth, I have uncovered something I would be concerned about
>From Seattle Times ref: Dreamliner Carbon Fiber Skin http://seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2012145833_boeing18.html Engineers paid special attention to the 787 wing fasteners, to avoid gaps that could cause sparking in the wings' fuel tanks during a lightning strike.And they embedded a thin copper mesh beneath the outer layer of the airplane's skin to disperse the current from a strike.In the early design, that mesh was to cover the entire airplane structure. To save weight, the wire-mesh coverage was later restricted to the three areas where lightning commonly strikes an airplane: the nose, wings and tail. On today's metal airliners, lightning typically dissipates across the metal body of the airframe, then discharges to earth with relatively little damage. Because the 787 is the first airliner made largely from less-conductive carbon-fiber, Boeing had to design special lightning protection to avoid severe local damage at the location of a strike. The inside electronics and lithium may be getting exposed to disturbances we call St. Elmo's fire and Lightning and maybe some of that "dark lightning" they just discovered. Another JAL jet was diverted yesterday with a fuel pump failure... I'm just say'n... Stewart Darkmattersalot.com
