that's a croc

No it's a gator.


Rounded snout, no visible teeth and there is no salt-water body in anambra.



crocs habit salt-water bodies while gators habit fresh-water bodies.

Sound energy . . . to electricity . . . er . . . well, a piezoelectric array, connected to a super capacitor can do the trick. Although, producing electricity from sound is rather difficult. Because it cannot be made to behave like a particle.

Nice one teempakguy
piezoelectric devices can do the trick, but electgineer where can we get large and continuous sound to generate enough electricity..... i doubt if you can accommodate such a noise.

Hmmmnn.... If electricity flows through a vacuum, what can you say about Vacuum Circuit Breakers(VCB) then?

I like this thread and I like the quote above more.


Electricity can be propagated in a vacuum if and only its frequency is very high - just as the frequency of a Light wave(electromagnetic wave).

Normal Electricity DC, AC (0 - 500Hz) cannot be propagated via a vacuum; they are too heavy (just like in particle duality of matter.). The electricity that can be propagated via a vacuum must be in a radio wave, light wave, infrared, ultraviolet, etc.

We need to understand what a vacuum means; it means no presence of atom, electron, whatever you can imagine. So no matter the kind of bonding(electrovalent, covalent, van Der waals forces) our everyday electricity will definitely need some electrons to flow.

Teempakguy, I would like you to research more on Townsend's theories on breakdown of gaseous insulators and corona discharge, it will expand your knowledge on lightening. I like your explanations too, its very illustrative.

I hope DSS is not trying to make us have unnecessary fear.

Some girls can be funny.

A girl will want to be with you, spends most of her time with you, does some limited romantic play with you, even cooks for you but refuses to accept to be your girl friend. She will even accept you having another girl as a girl friend.

Girls can be confusing.


Make up your mind, stop wasting someone's time.

How can this Fulani issue be solved?

Fight and kill them, more will come from Senegal for revenge.
Allow them, they and their cows will destroy your farm lands and crops.


It is high time, Fulani herders should be forced to evolve from nomadic cattle rearing. Forced by forcing them to adopt modern system of animal farming. If the Fulani insist on nomadic movement, then we to engage them in long distance athletics......I have never heard of a Fulani winning a gold medal.
