Maybe we could solve the energy crisis with a few cents! hehe... Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 4:40 pm simple concept, 2 differing metals inside of an acidic solution = voltage you can also get voltage by heating one piece of metal, and cooling another Also a plane flying through the earth magnetic field builds up a charge from one wing tip to another.

Flying, EMFs, and Jetlag Our bodies, and even our hormones function with their own natural electromagnetic fields, regulating our biochemical processes, and connecting us to the world around us. The earth has a powerful natural magnetic field, too—often expressed as a grid or lines. It's no wonder, then, that when we speed across the earth's magnetic grid in an aircraft, that the polarities and systems of the body can become scrambled—especially when the plane is moving east to west or west to east. Flying is also stressful to the body's biological and seasonal clocks. What people call jetlag is often the body's own systems being jangled. Flying disorders homeostasis, affecting people on physical, subtle body, emotional, mental and even spiritual levels. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 1:30 pm Creating an electrical charge due to the touching of two different metals has been used in industry for some time now. It is called a thermocouple. Used in industry commonly to measure temperature changes in gasses and liquids. Two different metals used in a wire, touching in what is called a thermohead piece on a pipe or duct can send an electrical charge through the wires as a change in temperature is made. Not sure of the name of one of the biggest manufacturers but I think it is Leeds and Northrup. They make the instruments that read those charges. Such electrical charges made like this is one big reason not to have coins of different materials touching each other. Edited by just carl 05/20/2015 1:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
