The AEPSC is currently researching how to transport power at a higher rate with a lower cost to the consumer. Cables with two million volts running through them are under various tests right now. The highest voltage used before was 765 thousand volts. The test that they are running now consists of effects on environment, wildlife and crops. As of today, many tests by Notre Dame have taken place including testing mosquitos under the voltage lines. The students were given a complete tour of the grounds after a brief film presentation, and at one time everybody was allowed to feel what two million volts feels like. After everyone finished shocking one another, they were all loaded onto the bus and moved to another spot to experience various electrical fields. After the trip was over, everyone agreed that it was a good time and wished to come back again. The AEPSC is open to group public tours and you may schedule a tour by telephoning AEPSC at 656-8173 Only groups will be allowed.
