The power company told investigators that if one gets within a distance of three to four feet from a power line, the energy that surrounds the voltage wire can arc and electrocute other objects, Hazlette told CNN. That's what authorities believe happened in this case.
My question is this: the arcing to water phenomenon that killed the firefighter, is that only something that happens with high-voltage power lines, or is it possible with residential wiring? |
Just high voltage lines.
The flux is over the top with these lines.
You can run wires along these lines for a distance and get electricity from them.
This was Tesla's dream free energy for everyone.
An earth surrounded by high voltage.
Remember though that household wiring comes from a transformer that brings it down.
The stuff along the street is higher and that comes from wires that are way high.
I have held my meter leads in the air around power plants and picked up 60Hz on the reading.
Snap crackle pop.
