Testing the LONGEST LOOP OF WIRE!!! to Turn a Lamp On
Added 2022-07-01 03:20:42 +0000 UTCHEY Y'ALL! Here's me testing the longest loop of wire in the history of mankind!
Have a great July!

I wonder what would happen if you used a giant LOOP of wire instead of two wires placed X meters apart. If you had 1km of wire in a loop (circle) you should be able to measure a delay, if any. I did this with my son using a red LED laser and a road reflector that was about 1km away and a rotating disk and a slit. We measured the speed of light by looking at the time it took to get to the reflector and back (2km).

2022-07-01 04:05:31 +0000 UTCI would actually like to see you take it one step further and terminate both ends of the transmission line so there aren't any visible reflections.
