    The Lounge help question

  • Holy Sheeeet!
    G greldak

    Not with the atmosphere per se but yes - thats the electrical discharge. The fuselage is acting as an antenna and so a current will be induced in it at the frequencies of the EM radiation to which it is exposed. This then gets reradiated as another electrical discharge. With the huge currents involved the air ionises which is what we see as lightning. In practice this happens thousands of times every year. The current flows around the fuselage so all parts of the aircraft are at the same potential. This means you can safely touch the metal parts of the aircract as the potential difference between the two point you are connecting is zero. - This is also why seagulls don't get electrocuted when they land on a high voltage powerline.

  • Holy Sheeeet!

    Research would imply that its actually a very broad spectrum ranging from ELF (3-30Hz) up to microwave frequencies (1Ghz+) http://radiometrics.com/data/uploads/2014/01/Petersen_AR_14.pdf Admitedly pure DC would indeed be made up of components of all frequencies but it appears that some frequencies are more pronounced. Interference of radio signals during a thunderstorm would also support this. Also don't forget Marconi's transmitter was a spark transmitter.

    Until you start raising the frequency at which point the surface effect gets more important - hence why waveguides are generally used rather than wires at microwave frequencies. However I've no idea what the frequency of a lightning discharge would be so unsure as to what extent this would apply.

  • Fun with Generic Enum Constraint
    G greldak

    If you ever need to then the much higher priority should be to refactor that bit of code so that you use something more appropriate. The actual value applied to an enumeration should never be relied upon to remain the same between versions of the code and so the result of any maths operation performed on it should be considered unreliable.
