...; Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace's work on computers; Pasteur's and Jenner's discoveries in microbiology; Adam Smith's foundations of economics; all the pioneering work on electricity by Franklin, Galvani, Ampere, Faraday. Ohm, Maxwell, et al; Marconi and Tesla's work on radio, etc. Needless to say, virtually all the technologies built upon these theoretical foundations were developed in free economies --- primarily the US, the ...

...>>>> rules taint others by association. of course. and if aeroplanes have such simple problems to fix why arent they fixed in the designs?. it cant be too damn difficult to make the passenger compartment a faraday cage and put the avionics outside of it. Perzackery, Stealth. Lots of this stuff is just not logical. Turn off mobile fones at the servo. Yeah, right. I chuck an audible, visible spark ...

Stealth Pilot High frequence signals are not so easy to screen, even with a faraday cage, and on the face of it, it shouldn't be necessary. After all, modern aircraft have multiple computers of their own, ...

... beneficial change. No, Duhg, all you get is a load of _reasons_ why you're a clueless monomaniacal loon. I would reply, but I'm now busy building a 100 m^2 extension to my home, with a Faraday cage, blastproof walls and doors and with 500kW of air conditioning so that I can tout for busienss from home as advised by Duhng. Apparently if I don't do this, I'm just making "a load of excuses". You forgot the ...

...bother us and go for something else that's sticking up :-) Similar to the 'lightning arresters' used on house chimneys etc. That overhead conductor is earthed at every pole/tower. I suppose it's a bit like a Faraday cage. Ergon (all of Qld except the SE corner) uses an aerial earth over sensitive conductors, eg near reclosers and zone substations. The explanation may be a bit suss as I'm a mech/civil rather than elec engineer...

... that that particular one does involve rather different fields since instrument making and mining are quite different fields. Faraday was a bookbinder's apprentice, before moving to the Royal Institution Doesnt mean that the discovery of electricity had anything to do with bookbinding tho. According to reports Faraday read a lot of the books that came into the shop where he worked. A lot of ...
