Each turn on the shielding has a compensating return turn which cancels the added inductance while the wire crosses over each other to cancel the added capacitances. If one got a short length of say 2 inch diameter sheathing they could attach the wires into one complete circuit for an antenna. One could dip the sheathing into some sort of insulation if they so which but actually the wires each act as insulated wire (electricity preferrs not to turn at right angles if it can go straight) so that is really not necessary . Does this mean that if one places his finger on a live wire while making sure to keep said finger at right angles to the wire that no shock will be delivered? Do ordinary electricians know about this protective strategy? 73, Gene W4SZ There are a plethoria of papers presented to the IEEE to prove that the wires in braiding act like insulated wires. I am well aware that hams perpetuate "old wives tales" regarding this and many other things. Sorry but you can't ignore the facts tho free speech is still available for the spreading of misinformation otherwise known as lies and art is an excellent example of that. |
