Something Different

All it shows is that Rod is wrong, again.

The laptop case was completely irrelevant once the thread had diverged to discuss lightning and wood.

Wrong again, that came later than what is quoted above.

Wrong again, it wasnt wet.

Wrong again, there was no water.

Wrong, as always.

Lying, again. Read the quoting you keep flagrantly dishonestly deleting and I keep restoring.

You flagrant dishonesty fools absolutely no one at all.

Couldnt bullshit and lie its way out of a wet paper bag...

Lying, again.

Lying, again. There clearly is in the quoting you keep flagrantly dishonestly deleting from the quoting and I keep restoring.

Lying, again.

Lying, again. And that was a separate sub thread anyway.

Lying, again. There clearly is in the quoting you keep flagrantly dishonestly deleting from the quoting and I keep restoring. Nothing to do with any laptop, everything to do with lightning.

Lying, as always. YOU made the stupid pig ignorant claim that dry wood is always an insulator, never a conductor.

Reread the quoting that you keep flagrantly dishonestly deleting and I keep reposting.

Lying, as always.

Because you keep denying it, cretin.

And you clearly lied, as proven by the quoting that you keep flagrantly dishonestly deleting and I keep restoring.

Wrong as always. Wood still conducts when there is no water, fuckwit.

Just like any insulator does when the voltage is high enough.

Nothing to do with any laptop or any grounding.

As should be obvious to even someone as stupid as you by the quoting that you keep flagrantly dishonestly deleting and I keep restoring.

Not a shred of evidence that you are actually capable of thought.

Or even being able to bullshit or lie your way out of a wet paper bag either.

Wrong again, I didnt even commment Geelong at all.

Lying, again. I didnt even comment on either statement.

THE STATEMENT is wrong, fuckwit.

You just sound like a fool.

No need, you have always been just plain wrong and a pathological liar to boot.

Lying, as always.

RG8 is fine, I ran quite a bit more than 50KV thru that fine.

I bought about 20 metres of RG8 on a cable drum from the recycle shop for $5....then gave it to a mate for free, it amazing what eventually would come in handy.

Was the braid earthed at that voltage?

Rod Speed committed to the eternal aether...:

ffs, no wonder people think you're a bot with those brainless repetitive interjections.

Some drunken fuckwit claiming to be Damien McBain wrote just the puerile shit thats always pouring from the back of it.

Better to get rid of the jacket and the braid at the higher voltages.

Hence the term 'breadboard' for a quick knock-up of a design.

Takes me back to the good old days when a stray finger could encounter 300V of plate voltage instead of a pissy 5V.

Do you really think wooden spark plug leads on a car would conduct?

Yes, if you used lightning for your spark coil.....dickhead.

Those figures for wood translate to 416 MegOhms, you can buy specialty resistors close to that value.

Yep, you can also measure the resistance of those resistors. Have fun measuring the resistance of wood using the same method though.

You know, I proved conclusively beyond all doubt you can push a current through dry wood complete with figures and all you can do is try and change the subject....possibly to something you're slightly more knowledgable about.

What is this utter crap about wood spark plug leads??

Ok so you are saying car systems put out about 100KV?? air has a breakdown of around 20KV per inch of airgap.

So you are trying to tell me your car ignition has 12.5cm sparks flying out the end of a plug lead??.

That should be pretty spectacular....

They're out there, think racing engines. 50KV and higher is not unusual.

You're trying to ignite a mixture of air and fuel, not just jump an air gap. You need a healthy fat spark for that.

Nope, small gap, fat spark.

Especially when you get bitten.

Not quite right. Lightning is usually completely random. The force and time levsl involved do not permit a "cool" appraisal of "the least resistance".

So are you suggesting that lightning rods do not work?

thread.

conductor.

and

That comment will be a lightning rod for further comment.....
