tbd,

A technical question, Is single phase power the norm in Norway or is that just
the way you chose to represent it in your futuristic models?

As always, I love your great "doodlings"!

Hehe, its actually ac\dc as everywhere else, but it may be difficult to see that its two separated phases in the render. The round and square thingys are capacitors (or condensators) that store the power

In the US, all power distribution is three phase and therefore all major power towers have three major conductors, and two (sometimes only one) small minor conductors, which are a grounds that are usually the top two cornner wires, which are for lightning protection. In power (sub) stations everything is in groups of three's (like transformers and capacitors banks).

Now days, because of the Internet, there is a additional small line (on major towers) that is strung in the middle and below the other conductors - it is a long line fiber optic bundle. I am not sure if the fiber bundle is used by the Internet in general or there for the power company use only.

None of this should effect your great models - it's just FYI

yea, I'm aware that this model is not acurate to the real world, but that's how I like it Just put something together that looks interesting and voila. Suddenly you got something that looks like it could be used in some world were things are a bit different and maybe not all human
