Electricity

Electricity is a repulsive force. Electrons repulse one another. They
must push.

A 'rope' in a pipe can push or pull.
A wire rope in a pipe ever so slightly larger can even do such better.

Then they are not *just* ropes or wires, are they?

So, what does that tell us about electrons?

Maybe if you did something more than word salad and tired
inapt analogies, you might learn something. But I'm doubting it.

Nope, they are altered versions of ropes of course.
but, the rope can push, is all I stated it for.

Electricity also (rope or not)
could be made to do either.
a push or pull.

I specified US railcars. The knuckle coupler used on
US railcars always has a pushing surface to surface
contact.

Consider the chain also. Link to link the links are
in compression, while all the rest of the parts
of the links are in tension.

The link arrangement is prevalent in European railcars.

of pipe. The cables are in tension but combined with the pipes
they run through they create a 20 foot tall (perhaps) rigid
structure. Conventional triangulation keeps it from falling
over.
