Do ponies have electricity?


Harmonic Revelations

Recommended Posts

The show is not very consistent with the use of electricity, really.

 

The aforementioned examples in Read it and Weep best show this. Rainbow Dash is being monitored by EKG machines (can be heard in the background), she plays with a clearly electric lamp, but is then later seen with a firefly-powered lantern. Then later on a guard pony is using a battery-powered torch to patrol the hospital.

 

I think it's fair to say, though, that they do use electricity and it is a common luxury, even though they might not always use it.

Most likely they do have some form of electricity. 

 

If you look at the episode Baby Cakes, when Pinkie Pie finds Pound Cake walking on the ceiling, the room gets brighter.

Also there are other machines that use electricity. Like Twilight's machine, the arcade game, and who know what else they have.

That would be cool if they did but they dont have TV's and cellphones, so im guessing no... Then again Rarity does use a sewing machine, but its more likely its powered by magic. and they got trains, im guessing that takes some means of electricity. highdea but maybe they have cells like eels in there body that generate electricity... like genji from the Getbackers.

I'm thinking that magic is the source of their electricity--something set up by Celestia, perhaps--but used sparingly, because they don't want to become dependent on it. The Earth Ponies would have strong feelings about that, and being in the sky half the time the Pegasi aren't really concerned with it. If there is electricity it's mainly an alicorn/unicorn thing.

 

And I guess technically there's electricity in every living being, at least in our world. I'm not so sure about theirs. Has anypony ever been zapped by static electricity?

I'm guessing they do have electricity, they just don't use it. I believe I saw a thread earlier about what age the ponies were in, technology wise.
