Jax,
They're all fools here. Some want to insulate their boat but the ionization potential renders insulation useless, let alone the effects of induced currents; they want to inject ions in the vicinity of their boats, yet to create enough potential to neutralize lightning it would, in fact, generate enough potential to cause lightning from their own boats; because they don't understand lightning, electricity, or atmospheric electrodynamics, they claim that lightning is magic - defies all physical laws; they want to ground their boats to make it part of the lightning discharge circuit -increasing the chances of getting struck!; the science teacher claims some special, hidden knowledge of electricity, but yet is not practiced in the art, he should stick to poetry. Ah yes the fools suffer, some even buy wonder products from the black magicians. God bless Iron Joe of the rusty Faraday cage! What doesn't get him in a thunder clap will slowly rot out his hulk by electrolysis. There's a simple method to reduce the chances of being struck by many orders of magnitude by towing a lightning distraction bouy. It's proven many times over.

Phil,
Why do you make so many assumptions? Do you do this often? It's a dangerous habit and will only cause you embarrassment and heartache. Are you Jaxie in drag? Do you agree with a man who says electricity has nothing to do with mathematics and in the same post uses math to describe the potential of lightning? You claim that "they're all fools here" - it seems to me that every post has pointed out the futility in such systems. Did I miss the post you refer to? The fact is that the science teacher claims no 'hidden' knowledge of electricity, and said only that it follows strict rules of behavior. Would you care to argue that point? The science teacher never claimed to buy into lightning protection on a boat, and therefore, has no such system, are you assuming otherwise? Do you see any post in which he defends these systems, or are his questions merely conversational in nature? Are you afraid of friendly discussion? I'll discuss poetry OR electricity with you. You can begin, I'll respond. Better yet, stick to posting your boring version of the truth in politics. At least then you're easier to ignore. Scout "Phil Morris" wrote in message link.net...

Yes, it's my guess as to what pushed your brain through your eardrum.
I have a question for you now tough guy, even though you wisely chose to ignore my last challenge: you wanna tell me what MY opinion is regarding lightning protection on boats? I've read what MIT has to say, what the U.S. Navy has to say, what the NLSI has to say. I also wanted to know what sailors had to say. I can't figure out what your role is here. Village idiot I suppose. Scout "JAXAshby" wrote in message ... do you know what lightning is? |

I'm simply Jax's warmup act here. I know absolutely nothing about
electricity but I have six questions for you: 1. Why doesn't lightning travel in a helical path since it does traverse a magnetic field? 2. Since lightning is a plasma discharge why is it that magnetohydrodynamic pinching doesn't occur? 3. Does lightning have a magnetic field even though it doesn't travel in a close loop? Why? 4. Can a conductor manifest Biot-Savart forces upon itself? If so why does lightning hit the ground? 5. What condition must exist between the E and H fields of charge in ball lightning or electron clusters to maintain the high charge density? Remember, like charges repel. 6. What is your favorite colour? Phil "Scout" wrote in message ... Phil, Why do you make so many assumptions? Do you do this often?

If you're being honest (and I think you are) and you don't feel confident in
your electrical knowledge, you should go back to page you copied these questions from and click on "Introduction" I don't have a favorite color. Scout "Phil Morris" wrote in message hlink.net...

4. Can a conductor manifest Biot-Savart forces upon itself? If so why
does lightning hit the ground? If with Q#4, you are asking why doesn't lightning produce a counter-emf, choking flow to the ground, I would 'guess' that the linear configuration of a strike, (versus a coiled conductor and therefore its position relative to its own magnetic flux), and the fact that lightning is DC versus AC (exhibiting only one full cycle of expanding/collapsing magnetic flux) would both be contributing factors to a lack of, or at best, infinitesimally small counter-force. Even in AC inductive circuits, counter-emf can be designed/used as a positive attribute, limiting flow but not halting it completely (e.g., start up current of a motor is much higher (LRA rating) than the FLA rating, which includes the devices self limiting features.
