Sure it does. It has a static electric field since there's a voltage potential between the two poles. Electricity doesn't just appear once you put a meter onto a battery; current yes, potential no. Potential is, well, potential. Also, no batteries are electrically perfect so they all contain some capacitance that can then interact if placed in an occilating EMF (IOW, they can act like an antenna). It all seems strange. Yes, I know the physics of it, but before this happened, it was something that you paid a lot of money to build a detector for, for research. However, I have been assured by the best of medical science (not just a local quack) that this is real. So, back to the issue at hand. Anybody have fond memories of great 486 or Pentium-based servers (or other arch equivs)? Doug.
