	Ribbon Falls (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Ribbon Falls is the highest free-leaping waterfall in Yosemite, and California, and North America, and one of the highest in the world.
		It plunges down the cliffs west of El Capitan, almost opposite Bridalveil Falls, ensconced in a narrow amphitheater of its own making that ensures it can only be seen from directly in front.
		It is fed by a tiny stream, and disappears soon after the last snowbanks in the valley rim forests have melted away.

		To construct the ribbons, the engineers rely on materials they call hyperfilaments made of carbon monomers, presaging the real-life nanotubes that wouldn't be discovered until 1991.
		Since the ribbon will be stressed to the limits by tension forces due to it's own weight, plus the weight of the climber, this seems to be less than optimal.
		However, doing a quantitative analysis of the situation, we found the currents that will flow through the ribbon will be minimal due to the resistance of the ribbon, cross-sectional area of the ribbon, the distance the potentials are separated by, and the poor coupling between the ionosphere and the ribbon.
