Cellular phones transmit microwaves (UHF) to a microwave towers. This transmission can be dangerous to the health of cellular users who are on their cell phones for hours on end. My transmission in my car is slipping and they want too much money to repair it. Communication is the transmission of ideas, messages, directions, revelations and declarations.


Are pylons electric at the bottom?

No, pylons (or transmission towers) are not electric at the bottom. The electricity is carried through the overhead power lines that are attached to the pylons. The pylons are designed to support the power lines and keep them elevated above the ground.


What forces were acting upon the twin towers?

The forces acting upon the twin towers were primarily gravity, wind loads, and the impact of the airplanes on 9/11. These forces caused structural damage and ultimately led to the collapse of the towers.


Are the big towers in a nuclear power plant smoke stacks?

No, the big towers in a nuclear power plant are not smoke stacks. These towers are cooling towers used to dissipate excess heat generated during the nuclear power generation process, not to release smoke or emissions.


What are the types of sound transmission?

The types of sound transmission are airborne, structure-borne, and underwater. Airborne transmission occurs through the air, structure-borne through solid structures, and underwater through water or other liquids.

Is there a ground wire on the 150 ft towers you often see around the US?

Yes. Almost all electrical transmission systems have a ground wire as the topmost conductor. You can usually see it above the 3 phase conductors. It does not form part of the transmission system, rather it is there for lightning protection. The towers themselves are grounded too.
