minus-squaresolidheron@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 hours agoDamn you want kilovolt? I was thinking few hundred at most. Over a few miles it would be fine to power like lights and low powered devices
minus-squareFistingEnthusiast@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 hours agoThere is usually a current present in the rails already Either traction current, signalling current for track circuits, or both Depending on the way the signalling system has been engineered
minus-squaresolidheron@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 hours agoHmmm neat. I guess those are high voltage signals
minus-squareFistingEnthusiast@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 hours agoDefinitely not Sometimes in the order of mere milivolts
