Eddys

No, not the ice cream.  It's locations where it feels like gravity exerts a sideways pull.  That's not exactly backwards but close enough to cause confusion.

Let's call them gravitational eddys for now.

Should you be laughing at the idea of gravity knocking you off balance...  Keep in mind a few elements need to align first:

  • Proximity to a metal fence or similar which extends a minimal distance:
    • Even guard rails or fencing across a bridge are susceptible.
  • An excess of current (don't worry what kind for now) running along or impeded by the fence.
    • The effect may be more noticeable towards either end of a fence but may still exist the entire length.
  • A cell phone with WiFi, Bluetooth, or service active:
    • The effect may be more noticeable if the phone is being used to make a call.
If you encounter such a location please leave a comment.  They shouldn't exist and their creation is accidental.

Some feedback should help keep them to a minimum.
