Über diesen Titel

 Ezra narrates electricity's epic journey across the largest machine ever built: the electrical grid. He follows electrons from power plant turbines through step-up transformers to high-voltage transmission lines, then through substations and distribution networks to your wall outlet. He explains why higher voltages reduce energy loss, how transformers work with elegant simplicity, and what causes blackouts as cascade failures. The episode explores smart grids as nervous systems, microgrids as resilient islands, and the constant balancing act where generation must exactly match consumption every second. This is the synchronized dance that powers civilization, invisible until it fails.
