Ep .21 Mega's latest strategy to "protect"
the City is an electric fence to keep the Zootists out. Jay doesn't
like it but accepts there's no alternative... |

I know, I inspected the

Then you'll also know that
it's gonna take a helluvalot of power to keep that turkey cooking |
Mega shows Jay the initial section of
the new fence, demonstrating its power by throwing a metal can at
it. There's a shower of sparks. Mega makes reference to the large
amount of extra power that will now be needed. Later at the Mall Jay
is appalled to find three Technos have moved in uninvited and are
manhandling everyone. The explanation is that a people are required
to work at the power plant to meet the huge power demand of the new
fence.
Goof: It sounds plausible that the electric fence will need lots
of power. But that's a fallacy. It may be very high voltage, but the
only time it will draw current is when someone touches it. So the
power requirement is very small. |
