Re: [FRIAM] re power lines
Great pics, Orlando. WRT the EMF issue, those are at least 345kV power lines if not 500's, which is a long way from the emissions of consumer items or a residential power line. They are also pretty impressive links in a transmission grid, meaning there are lots of lines on each pole. I wouldn't want to live near or under any of them for any number of reasons, not the least of which is how noisy they'd be. g -d- On Jun 3, 2008, at 5:38 PM, Orlando Leibovitz wrote: PREVIOUSLY SENT LINK. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/02/emf_richard_box.php ORLANDO peter wrote: There is also an artist that does shows by planting a couple of hundred florescent tubes in the ground under high voltage lines and they all light up, its quite a sight, no wires.

That won't light up any fluorescent bulbs, but it will make its own contribution to the ambience of the neighborhood. -- rec -- FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org

Distance and time is what determines the actual exposure, and why electric blankets and other consumer items are comparable. Here's a paper that gives analytical formulas for the calculation of multi-phase power. It's not as simple as an inverse square law like from a broadcast point source, but there are still radius^2 terms in the denominator of the formula. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/61/4476461/04419949.pdf?tp=isnumber=arnumber=4419949 Marcus FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
[FRIAM] re power lines
There is also an artist that does shows by planting a couple of hundred florescent tubes in the ground under high voltage lines and they all light up, its quite a sight, no wires.
