How the electricity spreads in wires? — it’s not over!

(1/2) > >>

I’m sure you recall Veritasium’s video about how electricity spreads in very long wires upon hitting a switch. And the huge debate it spawned. Do you think it’s over?

Haha! You wish! Today AlphaPhoenix raised the bar:
Watch electricity hit a fork in the road at half a billion frames per second (from Alpha Phoenix)

BrokenYugo:
I thought the whole thing smelled like some frame of reference trick question BS from the start and still do.

R@Jensen:
I think this one is better than Veritasium.

It's so funny to see all his conclusions based upon a oscillioscope and twisted wires...! :-DD
Think about twisted wire and how they works.

If this continues we end up with free energi from the stars and the forever-going- machine.  :box:

Great idea.
So far this year I have generated 10.8 MWh from our nearest star.  :-+

golden_labels:
AlphaPhoenix’s effort lacks scientific rigour, so this is not evidence in the strict sense. But it is as close as a relaxed, amateur experiment made for entertainment can get to it. Certainly at the level of proper preliminary research. And the effect is beautiful!

Many might argue this is not a “real video”. But it is as real, as EHT’s pictures of Sagittarius A* or M87*, and the later M87* high resolution picture. Or as the much earlier work by Ramesh et al. showing light propagation at trillion frames per second.
