| Feb 5, 2019 at 16:18 | comment | added | Voltage Spike Mod | Is it possible questions automatically make it too broad or a matter of opinion, it is not specific enough and in all cases the question could be re worked to make it more specific and more answerable. The answers that are generated from "is it possible" questions are poor for the standards set by this site. | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 11:34 | comment | added | Benjohn | Also, with thanks to the author, I can't agree that "is it possible" questions are clearly and necessarily matters of opinion. Q. "Is it possible to build a perpetual motion generator?" A. "No." In general I feel almost all "is it possible" questions are not questions of opinion. Good answers to them will include a discussion of constraints that may make them impractical within a domain. | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 11:11 | comment | added | Benjohn | I've edited to a single question: "Can "single-line" power transmission provide 1MW of power continuously over 35,000 km without adding undue bulk to the line or receiver?". It could be edited in to three or more separate and extremely specific questions that would not have a "Can…" (Re: receiver mass, line losses, line geometry constraints, insulation mass constraints), but this seems like it would be spamming the site and reducing clarity and usefulness. | |

| Feb 3, 2019 at 20:09 | comment | added | Edgar Brown | The question now is quite specific: can single wire power transmission achieve the clearly delineated power envelope? 1MW to 37000km. That’s very strictly an EE question. | |
