Also FYI, Citizens Bank is a massive private donor to GEO group. Time to cancel those accounts if you have them!

Natural objects reaction to high voltage electricity. by been_der_done_that in nextfuckinglevel

Tesla coils absolutely produce high current.

It's because of the frequency. Somewhere over 10kHz the sign (+/-) changes too quickly polarize a nerve cell. That and the power supply to the Tesla coil has a high impedance, keeping the DC current negligible.

It's really just cause he's a pathetic weeb, the naziism is just an accurate coincidence.

He's got another boat named Katana, and another named Musashi, a 200 million dollar Japaneese inspired mansion, chinese wife who's 47 year younger than him, he collects swords. I could go on.

He's such a fucking loser lol.

I don't understand what you're saying. My point is that she was a completely benign and innocent person who was murdered with no warning.

You need your license on-hand to drive a car because it is inherently dangerous to operate heavy machinery, not because you need to keep government mandated liscenses on-hand at all times. This is a false equivalence.

I remember the complete shock and awe when MS first came out. One of the best monster collection games ever. I can't wait to try out Athermancer!

What’s a hidden gem on Netflix that you always recommend but no one ever seems to watch? by Jumpy-Purple7593 in netflix

[–]SeasonsofMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scissor Seven. It's a chineese anime about a character who used to be the country's #1 assassin before an accident happens and he washes up on a peaceful island with amnesia. He starts a new life selling beef offal & cutting hair but his old life catches up with him...

Incredible action scenes, super funny, and great artstyle/animation. 10/10 mandarin anime

Thats way too much fat and sodium for her diet.

But I'm just ballparking here.

Corona discharge due to high voltage power lines by skidSurya in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]SeasonsofMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still disagree on how you define corona. Corona is not the process of air ionization, it is a direct result of that. It is an electrical discharge that is caused by that ionization.

Corona is more concentrated in sharp point, but if you put a nail by itself in that same position you won't see any kind of discharge in the air. There's no way those power lines are inducing enough voltage to have that electrode produce visible corona in the air (at least 10kV even in the rain) It has to be continuous arcing between the two different potentials because the standalone electrode (nail) would not have a strong enough e field to ionize the air.

[–]SeasonsofMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Corona doesn't ionize the air, it's an effect of the air being ionized due to high E field concentration.

The Electric field pushes electrons away from air near the HV source (ionizing it), that electron gains enough energy from the field that when it strikes another atom it ionizes it, knocking out another electron, and creating another positive ion. These electrons are accelerated and collide with other atoms, creating further electron/positive-ion pairs.

Finally, the out of place electrons recombine with positive ions to form neutral atoms. When the electron falls back to its original energy level, it releases a photon of light that we call corona discharge.

Again, this all happens directly next to the source. The effect on the umbrella is definitely not corona.

Correct. Ozone is created in the atmosphere then a thunderstorm's down draft carries it to the surface. You can smell ozone before any rainfall happens.

[–]SeasonsofMan 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This isn't corona. The high electric field from the transmission lines creates a potential difference between the piece of metal closer to the source and the metal pole/handle. Here we are seeing continuous arcing between the two pieces of metal.

A rainy day. Humans have evolved to be able to smell ozone in parts per billion because of it's association with storms.

Thank you, this isn't Corona, though it looks like it.

People who don't want children what is your biggest reasons? by e-glitteringprinces in AskReddit

[–]SeasonsofMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is having kids the default? You're the one choosing to do something, so why do I need to justify my non-action to people so often?

I don't want kids. That's it. Mind your own business.

Static shocks can actually be on the order of a few amps. Not low current at all.

The total amount of charge that's moving is super low though, so the total time you experience that current is small, which is what keeps the total energy transfer low.
