The theory behind Bubble Emergencies

Whereas the normal electrical wire is only a passive conductor, dependent on a "push" supplied by an external battery or generator to move the electrons, the movement of bubbles are caused by their own internal energies. Here the differences between the two kinds of current are explained in some detail.

Electricity in normal wiring

Simply stated, a current is an electric charge in motion. Materials, such as copper or aluminium that are used to conduct electricity, are made up of atoms. Each atom consists of a core around which a number of small beings called electrons revolve. Each electron has a single negative charge. The core of a stable atom has a number of positive electrical charges that is equal to the number of electrons whirling about it

In the materials that make up electrical wire, at least one electron per atom is not held close to the nucleus, thus allowing free electrons to drift in all directions through the metal. Ordinarily, these free electrons distribute themselves evenly throughout a conductor, so that it is electrically neutral.

When a magnetic field is moved across a length of conducting material however, the free electrons are forced to one end of the conductor, giving that end a negative electrical charge. The atoms at the opposite end of the conductor are then deficient in electrons, with a positive electrical charge.
The moment that the magnetic field stops sweeping across the conductor or that the conductor stops moving through the magnetic field, the force that had piled up the free electrons disappear. The forces of attraction between the negative electrons at one end and the positive atoms at the other pull free electrons back to an even distribution along the conductor, which again becomes electrically neutral.
The difference in electrical charge at the two ends of a conductor is called the electrical potential, or the voltage. The faster that a conductor and magnetic field move with respect to one another, the higher the voltage induced in the conductor—that is, the greater the number of free electrons piled up at the negative end.

“We are in a narrow passage surrounded by movement; the outmost of us are only loosely connected and easily wander from one to the other. A tiny field of energy orders our chaotic movements to a constant stream in one direction. We are constantly bumping into parts of ourselves and the friction make parts of us loose energy permanently. For every collision we give of heat, loose speed and multiply. The loss of energy heats the tube around us and to maintain our level of energy we are replenished by a constant stream of us. Not only do we form an electric field, so that electricity can be conducted, we also replace the loss of energy with light and heat”. - Anonymous electron

 

Bubble contaminated wiring

As opposed to an electrical current that flows as a steady loop, where one electron pushes the other along, the flow of bubbles trough the wire is an unsteady and unreliable current making it all the more dangerous. The bubbles are both sucked and pushed through the wire by a pneumatic process in a low-frequent pulsating movement. When the first bubbles are pushed into the wire due to the high pressure from the Bubble Power Plant, they only have a relatively short lifespan causing the front bubbles to burst before the bubbles further back. The bursting front bubbles create a vacuum sucking the other bubbles forward in the wire. In the other end of the wire, less bubbles burst and therefore the pressure is higher pushing the bubbles forward. An analogy could be made to magnetic trains, which in the same way are both pushed and pulled with the help of magnetic fields.

The graph shows how the pressure increase in pulsating movements until the pressure reaches its peak just before the bubbles burst. Immediately after the bubbles burst the pressure decreases dramatically, causing the vacuum in the wire.

 

The friction in the wire offers a way to control the contamination. When bubbles travel over long distances, the chances for coming into contact with the inner walls of the wire are much bigger. If this happens the bubble will and thereby reducing the pressure.
