Revolution new series - Sci Fi misses the obvious so often

[Jembo]

Having a little difficulty with this new apocalyptic series, especially when my son said electricity may be dead, but how steam engine power?

Ho hummmm....

I quite like this series and its an interesting concept, as for the OP's question to generate steam you don't need electricity. But to build a steam engine from scratch without electricity, with all modern machines requiring it is not an easy task but not impossible either.

However I would imagine that for a fair few years other priorities would be much more important

How about electrical impulses in the brain - why do they still work? Or maybe they don't...

I'm watching this now. Upto episode 3 - hummmm

what is this lol?

I've seen the first series. Its ok, there's not an awful lot of progression. You do find out why it happened (eleccy going off) at least.

How have you seen the first series...?
Even in the US it's only just over halfway through season 1 (just broadcast ep 12 of 20)

If you were clever enough to devise a method of changing the fundamental laws of electrickery, doing so that it did not effect life, would surely be a breeze, for instance restricting voltage to a few mV before it is inhibited :idunno:

If you want to stop machinery but leave biological systems functioning, you'd just need to change the conductivity of copper!

This series started in US whilst we were there last September, we saw the 1st few episodes.

Recoding it now, haven't watched any yet.
