My neighbour, a well-driller, often would dowse a client's property, to see where to drill. "Funny", he told me. "the stick always finds water in the spot where it was most accessible to the truck." The biggest nightmare in his trade was the occasional artesian well - not everyone had room to get rid of a lot of excess water.
And there are lots of HVDC transmission lines around - in some cases the I^2 R loss is offset by the cost of transformers at the ends. In Ontario we have a line item on our electricity bills, "Delivery" , part of which is a fixed percentage, an infrastructure charge, but part depends on the distance, and the Joule Heating loss, to the house. And, in the way of boats, this year's splurge is an inverter - anyone with experience or knowledge of the 'Magnum' line? Any new thoughts on DC-AC grounding connection. (I know, we hammered it to death a few years ago) Happy Spring, the ice is popping and groaning, very encouraging!
