Is it true I a florescent light bulb will glow if you hold it up under electric power lines ?

Question

I"ve seen a photo of a of a guy testing this out with his kids the bulbs did seem to glow in the dark

Answer 1

a fluorescent tube works better.
i didn't believe it until i saw it with my own eyes.
but yes the atmosphere is so charged around Pylons that it will light a bulb/tube.

scary, eh?
is it really good 4 us 2 live anywhere near pylons?
i doubt it.
:(

Answer 2

Yes and you can get radio on a gas stove if you live within five miles of a national transmitting station.

All this energy surrounding us, going into us and adding something extra in the process, has yet to be quantified as a total energy interference source.
Frequency ranges alone are enough to cause concern and certainly far more than analogue can stand without deterioration.
Carbon footprint per household as a comparison to needless transmission foot print is increasing daily.
Turn out the light? What a joke when we can't turn off radiation.
No turn off communication I say and we would have to talk to each other.

Answer 3

I've never seen it personally, but they do light up if you put them to those plasma ball things. The tube lights up until the point where you're touching it, it's quite cool.

Answer 4

Yes it does, usually. It does that too if you hold near the transmitter aerial on my military vehicle.

Answer 5

yes, highvoltage powerlines has electromagnetic flux in them where electrons flow thats why fluorescent tube lights.

Answer 6

yes. It is true. Actually it can be tested by this method.

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

it will if you're near a high enough voltage power line.
