He is correct about DC but not so correct on AC. Yes you can transmit it with powerlines a long way with minimal loss. But not near a thousand miles.
it's a 3hr long video so he says a lot of things
AC will just make heat or light
it won't electrolyze
pulsed DC will however
Pulsed DC is AC.
Nope wrong
Pulsed DC is commonly produced from AC (alternating current) by a half-wave rectifier or a full-wave rectifier.
AC involves going into negative voltage
Depends how you define pulsed
pulse width modulation they have chips that do pulsed DC very easily nowadays
Alternating current. What the name means. Alternating from high to nothing and back to high is still alternating.
Generating DC. DC can be generated in a number of ways: An AC generator equipped with a device called a "commutator" can produce direct current. ... Batteries provide DC, which is generated from a chemical reaction inside of the battery.
no high positive to high negative
It reacts more like normal AC current than DC.
Alternating current is an electric current which periodically reverses direction, in contrast to direct current which flows only in one direction.
See @mineyful is smart
DC means direct current. Direct is not alternating between high and low.
Hold on is your original point of 1000miles being disputed here
Direct current is the unidirectional flow of an electric charge.
There is a huge loss at that distance.
Whenever power has to be transmitted over long distances, DC transmission is the most economical solution compared to high-voltage AC
so ye
I don't know enough about electricity tbh to debate this, but i watched that video years ago and i watched it for it's main topic which was water wasn't paying attention to other details
you know what I actually don't know either
I am barely into it. I am not disputing the video and his main point he has not gotten to in 12 minutes.
I have never heard of DC transmission for dozens of miles being effective or even possible.
well if you can stomach watching more into it then you can tell us any other anomalies you may pick up
From what I understood it was only three miles max and really limited mostly to a single mile.
I think he is also wrong on what Tesla was working with with the lightning rod. Rather sure it was DC not AC high frequency.
92 after shocks lets go
Happy Fourth of July everybody please be safe and sane out there and above all do not I repeat do not drink and drive get a cab get somebody to help you don’t jeopardize anyone else
Or call a lyft/uber
Yes
Yes if you drink do not drive.
Enjoy the drinks just do not drive.
I’m grilling and sautéing 40 pounds of Argentina wild caught red shrimp putting it on a bed of rice with mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks and then drizzling it with teriyaki or butter and lime juice boy are these people in for a treat at this party
hell yeah
Although I would never get drunk. I see no advantage doing that. But many do so fine with me.
Japanese liquor in the teriyaki? Forget what they call that.
