re power lines

Peter-2-2
There is also an artist that does shows by planting a couple of hundred
florescent tubes in the ground under high voltage lines and they all
light up, its quite a sight, no wires. I will go find the photos

I have also got some nice shots taken at Crystal River Florida Power
plant on a really humid day just before a rainstorm and you can see the
arcs jumping 150' outside of the containment area

Maybe we can get Steve to do some Tesla demos at the complex be really
great for July 4th and we wouldn't need any fireworks

Great pics, Orlando.

WRT the EMF issue, those are at least 345kV power lines if not 500's,  
which is a long way from the emissions of consumer items or a  
residential power line. They are also pretty impressive links in a  
transmission grid, meaning there are lots of lines on each pole. I  
wouldn't want to live near or under any of them for any number of  
reasons, not the least of which is how noisy they'd be. <g>

Orthogonal to the EMF and noise issues, the power companies tend to
"maintain" their rights of way with low bidder landscaping, so their
routes are often liberally, and sloppily, doused in herbicides.  That
won't light up any fluorescent bulbs, but it will make its own
contribution to the ambience of the neighborhood.

Distance and time is what determines the actual exposure, and why
electric blankets and other consumer items are comparable.

Here's a paper that gives analytical formulas for the calculation of
multi-phase power.
It's not as simple as an inverse square law like from a broadcast point
source, but there are still radius^2 terms in the denominator of the
formula.
