It would be interesting to see the difference grounding a hot dog through 7 kW AC (60 Hz) and seeing any difference in internal heating and arcing. Maybe a topic to explore in another video—especially if I can get access to a transmitter manufacturer's testing lab...
- timr 2y agoSure. I'm not trying to suggest that it isn't a factor at all, just that it's not what's ablating the hot hot dog/pickle in this example. I wouldn't want to sit next to a working AM tower and have lunch or anything.
