Our HV transmission is star (balanced) and then covered to delta (unbalanced) for industrial 3 phase (415V) and single phase household power picks one of these phases. The reason it’s done this way is because we have an unbalances (MEN) Multiple Earth Neutral system where the neutral is connected to an earth stake at every household power box. This is connected through sealed connectors to the power meters and then to the switches/breakers and the rest of the house. Then from this junction and through the ceiling to the power box is the mains supply (copper) lead. It connects to a junction in the fascia board and it’s at this junction that the power companies maintenance responsibilities end even though their authority goes further. The outside power pole has a fuse for the load of the house and a flying wire (set) going to the house and this is called a lead in and I have always assumed it’s copper.

Maybe the meat of this project won’t be as filling as your Thanksgiving meal, but hopefully, it can serve as a bit of inspiration for your next freeform circuit design.
He used a red cap from another can as a pseudo light diffuser and lampshade, creating a pretty cool, almost lava lamp-like glow. He then used crimp connectors to connect his homemade wires to the battery terminals and also to the end of a flashlight. He found he could get about four meters from a standard-sized beverage can, probably roughly 12 oz, as he unraveled the can. He sanded the ends of each strip to crimp pieces of his homemade wire together. He cut 2 mm thick strips of wire from the beverage can along its circumference, creating a thin, long “wire” spool. Do you ever sit around thinking of ways to repurpose things in your house? Well found a way to recycle some of his empty beverage cans by turning them into homemade wire.
