If you are putting this out there for humor you should say so. By the time I was done with the first section I was ready to delete the whole thing. Here is another example of someone that refuses to use the most basic intelligence of how electricity works. Then, writes about it like an expert. Obviously you have never dealt with the effects of the current flowing through the ground on a power system designed to do so, yet you spout off in sarcasms. Help a farmer who is loosing one to ten animals a day at a cost to him of $8000 per animal. Tell him that is “smac” count is caused by poor food, vitamins, water quality or his milking machine. Tell him “To save your business tare the floors out of you barns and replace them with $160000 worth of equal potential ground planes” only to find the problem worsens. Write jokes for him when the foreclosure sign goes up in his yard. Take a walk with a sheep farmer and have him show you the trail of death sites where his animals came to close to the underground gas line that is collecting stray current and helping it to the next path of least resistance to the source. Have you ever helped celebrate Christmas in July with a family that can light a strand of Christmas tree lights between the gas line in front of their property and their water system? Talk smart to family who saved for 10 years to build a swimming pool in their yard to the spec’s and codes and now can’t use it. Maybe there is a joke with a punch line like “look how much better your son is doing now, and it is only been 6 years” The only difference between you and a trained parrot is that after you write you don’t say "Polly wants a cracker" Here are some basics 1. Electricity needs a complete path 2. Tying the neutral to ground creates multiple paths 3. Current is divided between these paths by the resistance of the path 4. Current flows in the path or paths of least resistance 5. The path of least resistance may not be a straight line 6. Current flowing through resistance creates voltage (in opposition)(thus the phrase stray voltage) 7. Any thing that offers this current a path with out the opposition becomes the new path. Electricity is a wonderful and terrible thing. It can not be allowed to roam as it wills. It needs to be controlled. The neutral systems should be designed and replaced until everyone in the country is large enough to carry the highest possible unbalanced load of system creating it. Is not a matter of cost, it’s a matter of profits.
