0:00will affect that. But think about single frequency. Now think about only having one frequency to choose from. What else would affect how far your Genny signal travels down something? Just one more point while you answer that question, guys. If you can't get the pin in the ground, if you're on tarmac or concrete, you can earth it with some water. So, this example here, just stick the pin on the floor and um and pour some water on it. It doesn't have to be sparkling water. Any liquid will do. I'll let you use your imagination on what type of liquids have been used in the past. Okay, so we start again.
0:56So, we're still on that same question, guys. The answers haven't come through yet. The problem, we've got so many on today, the delay is a little bit worse, I think. But, um, anyway, I'm going to I'm going to move on. Before we start answering that question of how far that Genny signal will travel, we need to start understanding a few more basic elements first about about what that signal is doing and where it's going and why. So I want to give you a few examples here guys. We've we've hooked up to this column now and we've put we've put our earth in. Okay, we're again we're going to keep this
1:32very very basic now guys. So these figures will not be exactly scientifically correct. It's just an easy way of understanding it. But if we look at the signal on this cable, let's say we have 100%. Just for easy maths. Okay? And what I mean by that is if we had two cables coming out of the lamp column, 50/50. Okay? So hopefully you're with me on that. All right? So this this 100% now is going to come down here. It's going to hit this. Okay? And what's it going to do here, guys? So 100% has hit this. What's going to happen now? I know there's a few pauses because of the
2:07questions, but I think it's important we we keep this interactive as I said. So, I'll just deal with the delay a little bit. What's going to happen down here? Okay. The signal is going to split, isn't it? Okay. It's going to go both ways along that cable. What we have to now consider though is how much will it split? Will it go 50/50? Okay. And all this now depends on what we call the path of least resistance basically. So so somebody said said 50/50. Okay, that signal is trying to get back to the earth. Okay, so now let's just backtrack. Again, we're still talking about how far a Genny signal will
