I wasn't going to read this thread, so glad I did now, far more interesting that the name suggests.

Commonly accepted wisdom says that electricity can "flow" through even clean water Experiments involving toasters and baths seem to suggest this is the case.I could readily believe that mucky water (which electric currents can therefore flow through) moving through pipes and therefore creating lots of static electricity, could generate magnetic fields that move around a bit, possibly within the mucky water itself. Put copper in those electric fields (though lack of a completed electrical circuit baffles me I confess), and they could experience a force on them, which is the essence of how electric motors work. I can feel an experiment coming on - my son usually has various bits of scrap metal.
I thought they stopped putting it on roofs in the 70s, because people kept nicking itCan we do it with lead I know a bloke who pinches it off roofs.

I think the Dawkins experiment is like asking people to detect stationary cars behind a wall with a speed camera.
I'm still unsure if we're being serious or not.
But the interesting thing is that none of them had any objections before the trial, they were all satisfied with the setup and 100% confident it would work.
The question is....is this the right question?I'm still unsure if we're being serious or not.
Was there any? Surely it disappeared down whatever sewerage systems were in place at the time?They are still nicking the stuff from 1667 in London.
But that's just silly.
