gollark: The cylinder is also purple in coloration.
gollark: Anyway, one point 120km up the cylinder has an electrical potential difference of 103.6kV from the point about which it is rotating.
gollark: Well, I guess there are two directions, so "a" direction.
gollark: The magnetic field is maintained in the direction perpendicular to the rotation of the cylinder.
