Mum and Dad always wondered if living near HT powerlines caused my brother's death. Or even the X-Ray machines shoe shops used to use.... Personally, I reckon my GP nailed it.Quote:

76 + 87 = 163. Nah at age 163 I won't be bothered arguing the toss about anything. Well, maybe nooky time again.:Rolling:Quote:

Power lines "could" be a culprit imho (???)t so what say the Electrical Experts on here?
To me it sounded a little far fetched, even though know they radiate. But my sisters all spent their early years there. But, if you've lost a 9yo after two ****ing awful years you're probably entitled to grasp at the odd straw.Quote:

Powerlines produce an electromagnetic field at 50Hz. But the intensity of this decreases according to the inverse square law, so that the field from the powerlines, unless you are directly under them, will be less than that experienced by everyone living in any modern house, where they are surrounded by a web of wires within metres of their body (or millimetres if you sleep with an electric blanket!).
Nobody has ever been able to either show any real evidence from population data (even if such data exists, is it the powerline or is it the social effects of living in an undesirable locality?) of problems, or even think of any physical/biological mechanism that could explain such data if it could be found.
Haven't been able to post for awhile due to sporadic disharmony between this MacBook and aulro.Quote:

Tested full blown positive for 12 days, then got down to negative after another five.
Just treated the symptoms.............. codral for the sinuses and aching eyes, ibuprofen for aching joints and temaz to sleep properly.
No chest problems at all, but I could tell it was just a hair's breadth away. Glad all vax was up to date.
Just getting energy back in the last week.
Biggest issue was all the work I couldn't do because the results were positive for so long and some clients were in their 70's and 80's.
Saw a snazzy e-car in Queenscliff about 2 weeks ago.
cheers, DL
Autonomous Underwater Fuel Cell submarines
I like Canada[bigsmile] The nifty robotic company happens to be in one of my favorite places. Right near another company I know of and watch in the Hydrogen Fuel Cell space. I suspect a link. [bigrolf]
This is 'NOT' the one Australia might be looking at I heard. "Tech firm Cellula Robotics (Cellula) has partnered with Trusted Autonomous Systems (TAS) to develop the next generation of fuel cell-powered, extra-large unmanned underwater vehicle (XLUUV) for Royal Australian Navy (RAN)."
As much as I love Nuclear power I suspect economically and effectively a few dozen of these would be a LOT cheaper than just one Nuclear Sub. As a Anti Sub Sonar type I am impressed. As a former sailor I am often shocked about what would be Nato Confidential/Top Secret or higher found floating about on the internet
The News Cellula, TAS to develop next-gen XLUUV for Australian Navy - Naval Today
Attachment 188070
Solus-XR Brochure_2022_X06 (squarespace.com) One type not the secret one!
Ballard Power Systems is the company I suspect making the Fuel Cells - Just a few miles from Cellula- NOT INVESTEMENT ADVICE
Will my long-lost security clearance bite me for finding this cool science? Perhaps it's just me being wet again [biggrin]
mate I grew up with died young riddled with cancer but lived 20yrs as close to huge electricity transmission lines as would be allowable at Eltham, Vic. His trick was to stand under a tower with a 5' flouro tube which would light up.
Not suggesting no risk from radiation. I did have an interesting man come up to me in Ocean Grove to let me know I cannot have children as I was sitting on a battery in my EV![biggrin]Quote:

A Vasectomy made his thought on my car less relevant for some activities [bigrolf]
Sad about your mate!
