Morning all.



Cooler & raining this morning, it's almost pleasant.

Show her the top gear video of Hammond in a polo being struck by lightening. Its a Faraday cage. No doubt Zeity can tell us what that is - but it sounds like a cage to me.....

It's a conductive cage, inside of which all points are at the same electrical potential, so no current can flow.

All the current from the lightning strike passes through the body of the cage without affecting the contents overmuch.

Hence those chappies in the chain mail suits in the Tesla coil vids.

The chain mail suit is a faraday cage.

My explanation of the faraday cage seems to have stunned everyone into silence.

There's lunch done & dusted, the last of Sunday's beef done with onions & carrots.

I did sommat wrong (probly not enough cornflower?) coz the gravy was distinctly watery.

But it all tasted ok.

Tomorrow I shall have lamb.

Yum.

Just had a holiday haircut, by possibly the campest man on the planet (even by hairdresser standards). I'm all bouffant!
