Title :
Lights in the night
Abstract :
The paper discusses about the author´s experiment with the power transmission lines and a couple of bulbs in a moonless night. The bulbs will lit up as he walked under a power line since current was flowing through his body because he was short circuiting part of the electric field established between the lines and the ground at his feet.
