Induction



Oh My God!!!!!



This blog will be about induction. Induction is when the large electrical field coming off a high voltage transmission or power line can be accessed. If you were to hold up a fluorescent tube near a power line it would start to glow. We discovered that if you held it on its side it would not glow and if it became damp it would discontinue glowing. This was a problem because when we were inducting it was quite cold and we had to continuously dry them with a rag. We also found that they would interfere with each other when held close together. This was probably because they were taking too much energy from the small area and could not get both of them to go. To the left is a photo of me and a glowing tube. Below there are two photos that were long exposures of the tubes.There is also a picture of the three held in one spot. this is not really dangerous but it is certainly fun.
