Geeze, Rienstra, get serious. That's the biggest pile of horse pucky
I've seen you write in months. Birds sit on power lines all the time,
and they don't get electrocuted--so a power line is a faraday shield
too?
To have voltage flow you need to have both ends of the
circuit--Hammond of Top Gear (whoever that is) didn't have that.
Get your mommy to take you to a science museum some day, where they
have the platform on glass and a high voltage generator. Best when you
have long hair, quite an experience. I'm sure your folks will take
you.
