There is some electricity misinformation being put forth. Is the energy from electricity transported by electrons directly or indirectly through the magnetic field the electrons create?

@metal-brain saidI recall a professor once told us that in those high-voltage power lines most of the power transport actually happens in the electric field around the wires. That made me scratch my head a bit.

@Metal-Brain
Nothing or little to do with magnetic fields, electrons are pushed by electrons.
That is called a CHARGE. You charge up electrons, aim them at another electron and they repel. Pretty simple and it doesn't matter if they are in free space or in a conductor, it is the electrical field of the electrons which is imparted by a voltage drop across the wire or electr ...[text shortened]... , and ONLY steer off if encountering a magnetic field.
That's my story and I am sticking with it.
@sonhouse saidYour "bit" as you called it is a long winded vagueness that isn't even entirely accurate. Magnetic fields push electrons.
@Metal-Brain
In other words you didn't read my bit.
@sonhouse said"Mag fields CAN accel electrons but I can tell you it is a LOT easier to just boost them with volts"
@Metal-Brain
I would think nobody knows the answer to that any more than I already told you.
Mag fields CAN accel electrons but I can tell you it is a LOT easier to just boost them with volts. You have to go through hoops to force a bending field into a flinging field, but like waves on the water, another kind of field, makes stuff move as the surfers found out.
@sonhouse saidLook up "Tesla Coil".
@Metal-Brain
I kind of figured you were not after actual answers, only want to inject your idea of wisdom.
I assume you figure I know nothing and therefore don't need to read any of my posts.
@sonhouse saidI don't think you know how a Tesla coil works.
@Metal-Brain
Jeusus H Krist. You think I don't know what a TESLA COIL IS? HINT: I started studying electronics at age FIVE. I BUILT a tesla coil, made about 30,000 volts with it, when I was 12.
Do YOU know what a Tesla coil is? It is a frigging TRANSFORMER.
No different from a wall wart cell phone charger which has to have one to convert 120 to 10 or so volts and then ...[text shortened]... on to yet another of your conspiracy theories which you no doubt will be more than happy to explain.
@sonhouse saidThe video in my OP covers transformers you twit.
@Metal-Brain
It doesn't matter WHAT I say about tesla coils. Did you actually read the part where I said it was a frigging TRANSFORMER? Do you even know what a TRANSFORMER IS?
Whatever you are going to puke out with your latest conspiracy theory, why don't you just go on and do it since you have no interest in either discussing or learning magnetic fields or electricity.
...[text shortened]... e test I can tell you.
So give me your best shot here, what is it your buddy knows that we don't?
