Droll, et al,
I offered the thin-wire analogy to show there are physics counterparts to the HP/RPM/Torque thing. My apolgies to all those over whose heads it went. Youall go on thinking you can belt-up any amount of torque to move any amount of load at any desired speed.

I agree but he didn't say how long the wire was carrying that current. If the application was to spectrally analyze the content of the wire and it was intended that it turn into a plasma ..... Art

I must have missed where he said it was a steady current flow instead of a short pulse.

The 'Inter City Beer Missile' was part of a silly beer commercial on a Cicinnati TV station in the '70s.
