What would happen if there was no electricity for three days.
All mans works of pride have one drawback they all run on electricity. If the laws of electricity are changed only slightly nothing on the face of the earth would work. All electronic devices need electricity and batteries could hold for a time but eventually they too need recharging and huge amounts of electricity amounting to thousands of volts cannot be produced by batteries. Here is the chaos that would take place if there was no electricity for just three days.
Generators produce electricity by rotating magnets between other magnets formed by wires as the magnetic lines of force are cut they generate electricity. Generators need rotating power which can come from flowing water, steam turbines or diesel engines.
No water pumps would work which means the entire city would not have water. This is an impossible situation as cities need millions of gallons a day for washing and more importantly drinking. The water comes from far away and is purified and pumped to the cities. In such a situation there would be a mass exodus out of the city.
High rise buildings would be stranded as lifts and escalators would not work.
Petrol and diesel would not be pumped and reach the cars as electricity is needed to pump from underground tanks.
Cars, busses, trucks and other means of transport would come to a standstill even diesel engines that do not need electricity would come to a standstill because they need some means to start them and would not be able to do so without a starter that runs on electricity.
Planes would not be able to work because they use electronics and even if they were able to propel themselves they need sophisticated signaling systems to direct them.
All communication would come to a standstill i.e. land phones, mobiles, pagers, television, radio, internet, satellites etc
Hospitals would be stranded with no machines, meters and devices, they would have to resort to guesswork to treat patients.
Because of the breakdown of communication there would be a total chaotic condition with no law and order.
