i guess we all read the story of the bird sitting on the high tension line.

for those who did'n read it yet, i will post it again and then this will be all for a while.

it's a story out of the works of Nicola Tesla.

The bird sitting on a high tension line.

The bird sits on the high tension line without a flow of mass electricity, because there is no significant difference in potential drop between the bird and the line.
Specially, between the birds two feet, each in contact with a diffrent portion of the line, there exists no potential diffrence.
This is true even though, with respect to the vacuum, each foot is at a potential that would be "100.000 volts higher" were a mass current flowing.
And its true even though the absolute potential of each foot may be some 200.1 million "volts", were a mass current flowing.

Now an intresting thing happens to the bird when he flies trough the air to light upon the high tension wire.
As he flies toward the wire, he is flying through the massless electrostatic potentional field of the wire.
The electrostatic potentional field is actually the spatio-temporal intensity of the massless charge at a point.
In other words, as the bird flies to the wire, he flies into an increasing "massless charge" potentional, building up to 100.000 "volts" higher than the earth.
However, verry little (if any) "mass flow" potentional diffrence is experienced upon his body in aproaching the wire, and so essentially no "charged mass currents" are induced in his body.
Thus the little flier safly navigates into the teeth of a verry high electrostatic potential, lights upon the wire, and is not "fried" in the process.
When he lights on the wire, his body is immersed in an increased flux of massless charge-which is what the electrostatic potentional represents.
And each "virtual particle" flow in that charge potentional represents a "massless (scalar)" electrical current.

The point is, one can have any amount of massless charge flow-"scalar"current- without any mechanical work being done in the system.
All electrical work in a circuit is done against the physical mass of the charged masses that flow.
Rigorously, force is defined as the time rate of charge of momentum.
Even in the relativistic case where F = ma + v(dm/dt), change of momentum requiers mass movement.
No mechanical work, and hence no energy, is expended by massles charge flow.

That is why the vacuum massless charge -which is composed of a verry high flux of massless "particles" -normally does no work on our systems, and expends none of its verry high "potentional energy"
It is exactly the same as the bird which flew into an increasing scalar field as it approached the high tension wire- no work was done upon the bird by the increasing scalar flux currents encountered by its body.

By existing "in the vacuum" , so to speak, we (the whole earth) are as birds sitting on a high tension line!
Untill we create significant diffrence in a potential, via our present electromagnetic circuits, no current can flow- anywhere.
Even if we produce potential to flow, if we wish to produce mechanical work.
Presently our electromagnetic theory allows us to create a diffrence in potential within diffrent parts of the circuit, but only by moving and shifting charged mass.
We therefore have to do work on this electrical mass in moving it around, and we only get back the work we have put into the circuit.
In other words, presently all we do is "pump" electrical mass.

Now notice what would happen to the bird on the line if we substantially "pulsed" the potentional on the line.
Suppose we "pulsed" it such that the birds physical system--conciderd as a cicuit containing a capacitance, a resistance, an inductance, and many free electrons-- became resonant to the pulsing frequency.
In that case the "bird system"would resonate, and a great deal of electrical mass would surge back and forth in the body of the bird.
In the birds body, voltage would exist, charged mass current would flow, work would be done, and the bird would be electrocuted.

there it is.

Now we can also have a "bird circuit" not only having a capacitance, inductanse and free electrons, but we can have a "bird circuit" which itself is oscillating , in fact we can have all kind of situations.
