] Why is this illegal, other than the obvious trespassing? I need more information on this subjec. I am working on a project with 48 miles of 115KV transmission line. We need low power under the transmission lines. We are working for the power company so there is no stealing here. Cn anybody point me in the right direction such as the name of the Physicist in Bristol University or the issue of Smithsonian where it was published |

] magnetic field emitted from the overhead powerlines. wow. this is really cool. I saw this first in Smithsonian magazine-- artist who works in the physics department at the Univ. of Bristol planted 1301 unwired fluorescent lights into the ground underneath high-power transmission lines. Go read the press section of the site as well. he has done some other neat things, as documented on the site, as well. |
