RE: Video NOW: Discovery Channel, Cable ZAPPED

Original poster: "keith" <keith.cc@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I saw part one tonight and wasn't terribly impressed with it - I'm still
an hv beginner but even I picked up on multiple semantic/factual errors
- saying voltage can 'flow', using 'electricity' in place of 'current',
and citing the 30kv/cm breakdown electric field value for point
electrode discharges, which I'm pretty sure you can't do. I know it's
meant for lay audiences, but errors like those irritate me when I've
expended so much effort trying to learn electricity the 'right' way and
get past such common misconceptions. The woman they had who was
allegedly working on her phd in electrical engineering also did not seem
to know much more about electricity than the stunt man. There were,
however, some good shots of a fairly large coil operating, an impressive
demonstration of electrical-storm independent atmospheric electric
charge, and some glimpses of a large pulse discharge capacitor
bank/charging apparatus. Just my (unsolicited) opinion.
