there are probably creatures living on electrons asking the same question:)

The difference between a Dog and a Cat. A dog thinks they feed me they take care of me they love me they must be God. A cat thinks they feed me they take care of me they love me I must be a God.

well yes and no, you have to consider the level of employment the credit card company provides.

I don't know

If you have a difference in potential and create a path the charges will try and equal through the conductor. Think of the neutral as hot and the Earth as neutral. Ok well I am starting to get discouraged, I just don't want anybody to get hurt thinking that in a system that is not Earth grounded...

well in this case you become the path for current to travel from the neutral to the earth, if the system is grounded to Earth via grounding rod the current will take the path of least resistance through the ground wire instead of your body.

I am not ever going to give up, I have just learned from this forum some of my flaws in thought. That is a good thing cause now I am on a more solid path to reaching concrete goals.

Ok then my case is true that you can be shocked or electricuted in a system that is not Earth grounded via the neutral? after all its the center tap of the xformer right?

Is that a yes?

I did the same thing when I started into pf, I was excited about different ideas but realized that they just aren't right. I use to think it was like splitting the atom and getting all that hydrogen out would net more energy than the electrolosys process also.

is it called superheated?

OK Averagesupernova is correct on his example, and not to argue, I just would like to ask a question then. When you have a hot wire and the system is not grounded to earth, do you have voltage between the hot and Earth ground?

They are the same physical or electrical point. Thats why you must ground it to earth, if you don't there would be a difference in potential to earth, but because it is grounded the difference no longer exists. If something should happen to the Earth ground be carefull. I know you think of...

I think my dad has cirrosis of the liver, his belly is like your describing. Not fat but sticking out and he is an alcaholic. I can't talk him out of drinking is there other forms of treatment to help?

agree, just need a switch that switches at the speed of electricity and we would be cookin:) lol
